Why Jobtech
India needs to create a workforce that is skilled enough to fill over 100+ million jobs to continue being the fastest growing economy.
The current workforce suffers from an acute skill gap with no comprehensive solution addressing it. We want startups helping workers upgrade their skill set to ensure they are able to enter the workforce.
Upskilling for Career change
There are platforms that provide tech-enabled training solutions to people who otherwise are unable to find employment due to lack of relevant skills. These include solutions that teach various trades, communication skills, soft skills and basic computer literacy.
For example: Our portfolio company, Utter imparts English fluency training and workplace skills via chatbots and live tutors.
Future of Work (Freelancing, Gig-economy jobs etc.)
In the recent past, we have been seeing a definite move away from the traditional idea of employees working full time for a fixed number of hours. Catalyzed by high unemployment rates among graduates, there is a pressing need for startups that are helping individuals become micro-entrepreneurs or full-time freelancers.
For example: Our portfolio company, Awign helps students acquire professional experience and job exposure by packaging micro-tasks from companies as paid internships.
Job matching
Tech-enabled platforms that can effectively assess the skills of potential job seekers and find jobs better suited to their background and potential. This can tackle the problem of underemployment, ensuring qualified candidates are placed in jobs commensurate to their education and experience.
Skills for future jobs
With the growth of sectors such as Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and IoT, the requirement of skillsets to survive jobs largely varies from those of today. As technologies emerge, soft skills, data literacy, and other transferable skills will be in demand. We’re looking for startups that help people learn these skills to add positively to economic growth.
For example: Our portfolio company, Eduvanz makes skill-education accessible by offering financing for a broad range of courses ranging from Big Data to training for Carpentry, Welding and Spoken English courses.
