EDUCATION REPORT (DECEMBER 2018)

“While Indias skill-gaps are multi-layered the balance is shifting from corporations to individuals. With the rise in the unemployment rate within the country there is a strong need to support individuals with micro-entrepreneurship opportunities. This is an opportunity that many startups can tap into and come up with innovative and scalable ideas that will enable people to be employed through freelancing. Along with developing relevant knowledge enabling micro-entrepreneurship it is essential that the right candidate is matched with employment opportunities based on his knowledge and skills. Tech-enabled job matching startups can tap into this space and help bridge this gap. It can also help tackle the underemployment problem thereby providing valuable data that can help create not only better but faster job matching for Indians.“
