Social enterprise · Skilling since 2006
Skills that holdwhere jobs don't reach.
We train young people from India's least-served districts for real work in the organised sector — then place them, and stay with them after they start.

Twenty years, one rising line.
From 263 trainees in our first year to over a lakh a year now — mostly school dropouts, tribal youth and first-generation earners.

Hover a year to see its intake. Bars are square-root scaled so the early years stay visible beside the 2019-20 peak.
What we teach
Six sectors. One standard.
Every trade is aligned to a national occupational standard, taught on the equipment the job uses, and assessed independently.

How we teach
Six steps, in order.
Nobody touches a production machine before they have watched the job done. Nobody is certified by us alone.
- 01
Teach me
Trade-specific knowledge, literacy, numeracy and technical fundamentals for the course.
- 02
Show me
Practical demonstration in the workshop or work environment. Trainees observe tasks and procedures being completed, take notes, and learn the standard operating procedures.
- 03
Let me practise
Industry-specification machines in a production environment, so hands-on practice happens on the equipment the job actually uses.
- 04
Assess me
Assessment is continuous. Practical learning is measured daily on accuracy, process and time taken.
- 05
Let me show you
Trainees work independently in a live production environment, producing a good or service of real economic value.
- 06
Recognise me
A skill championship recognises the top performers of each batch. Final certification is by independent third-party assessment through sector skill councils or NCVT.
Café brewmaster
“He had a spark in his eyes. The rest is history.”
An eighteen-year-old from Mayurbhanj walked into the Café Coffee Day lab at the Jatni centre to ask about the course and check his eligibility. He was rejected at first — he has one hand, and a customer-facing role looked unworkable. After deliberation and special approvals he was admitted on the condition that he work only in the coffee area.
