Strategy

We establish a Strategic Corporate Connect with partner colleges across India using active volunteer engagement to hone leadership potential and create a steady pipeline of employable graduates in technology.

Full Circle Support

Ananya’s core focus is to ensure more women in technology jobs and foster SDG 5 goals. A select group of meritorious young women are given high impact job training that includes projects and internships in industry, honing leadership skills, and even emergency medical support.

Employability Skill Training
