According To Nirmal Singh, Founder & CEO of Wheebox, “PM Modi’s vision of India becoming $5T economy requires increasing the per-capita income of Indians which can happen only when people get the employment which consequently demands the skills and useful talent. To achieve that, along with the universities & the colleges in India, various emerging startups are already using innovative technologies to facilitate skill up-gradation, job creation, internships and workforce management on their platforms. Fortunately, it has improved the availability of employable talent, 33.9% in 2014 to around 47% in 2019, as per India Skills Report 2019. Now, this workforce will be required to be tapped into its full potential to achieve the objective of our nation.”
He further added that it is extremely important for students to build an attitude of learning and gaining knowledge rather than focusing on degrees. They need to constantly build upon it, improve it, and make decisions in the face of uncertainties and new challenges of the 21st century. The government and training institutes should ensure superior educational content and ease of access to training/skilling programs across cities, towns, and suburbs.

Like the previous year, female employability showed an upward trend for this year, climbing from 38% in 2017; 46% in 2018 and 47% in this year.
