Work and career opportunities change lives

India’s technology sector is booming. Despite that, under- and unemployment among youth and women is high:

  • 75 percent of people earn less than US$78 per month.
  • 32 percent of youth age 15 to 24 are unemployed.
  • 100 million youth age 18 to 25 are educated but unemployed or underemployed.

Anudip addresses this gap by preparing low-income women and youth to work in the digital economy. Their programs help people:

  • Build technical and professional skills to find jobs with career progression opportunities.
  • Obtain stable, reliable jobs that provide a substantial increase in their income.
  • Become financially independent and secure, enabling them to permanently break the cycle of poverty.
  • Contribute to local economic growth.
  • Thrive in the digital economy.

“Technology not only increases our capacity through robust systems, it also allows us to control our costs through blended learning, larger centers, and improved trainer productivity.”

Dipak Basu, CEO, Anudip
