Saksham: Enhancing Student Employability

Project representative: Shashank Shukla

Saksham is a groundbreaking startup that aims to change the Indian job market by boosting student employability. Their unique approach involves teaming up with colleges to roll out a smart management app that encourages academic interaction and growth. Saksham covers all areas of skill development, from running skills-based and EQ tests to finding global job opportunities.
The goal is to blend academic learning with industry needs closing the gap between college education and what the job market wants. As a clever hiring tool, Saksham also helps HR professionals and companies find capable candidates. With negotiation skills and key training under their belts, students are well-prepared to grab the right opportunities.
Beyond helping students grow and find jobs, Saksham uses AI to create custom learning paths. We stand out in the education tech scene because we track learning progress, skill gains, and EQ info in real time. This data-driven approach makes learning flexible and helps recruiters hire more.
A team of experts led by someone with lots of edtech experience, guides Saksham. We aim to cut India’s unemployability rate by 20% by 2027. Saksham works to build a fair job market. Our customers include college and university students as well as HR folks and companies looking for skilled workers for jobs around the world.
With a unique outlook that sets them apart from big names in online learning like Coursera or edX, Saksham puts emphasis on how many students finish their courses and creates custom learning paths that fit what each student needs. They’re now running test programs with three colleges in Pune and have signed up 50 students who are busy setting up their accounts on the platform.
Looking ahead, Saksham aims to roll out a management app, grow their team, and keep a lively user community going as they work to make their income streams more stable.
