Preparing Vizag for the AI Revolution
Inspired by Sridhar Vembu's rural development model, we're challenging educational institutions and businesses to tap into the incredible talent in Visakhapatnam's villages and suburbs. Can our colleges and universities deliver industry-ready graduates for the AI revolution?
With 30,000+ jobs coming to Visakhapatnam, we're asking colleges and universities a critical question: Can you produce graduates who are ready to work on day one in AI, data science, cloud computing, and related fields?
Rather than competing for scarce experienced talent, forward-thinking companies are investing in training local talent from the ground up. This approach, pioneered by Zoho in rural Tamil Nadu, offers multiple benefits:
Training fresh talent costs less than hiring expensive experienced professionals
Employees trained from scratch tend to stay longer and be more committed
Train exactly the skills you need, not what the market provides
Create opportunities for rural talent who might otherwise be overlooked
Starting from Pinagadi village in Pendurti, we're proving that world-class talent exists in rural areas around Visakhapatnam. These individuals often have strong fundamentals, high motivation, and lower attrition rates compared to urban talent.
If these companies can do it, so can Google, Adani, and other employers coming to Visakhapatnam. The talent is here—it just needs the right platform and opportunity.
Whether you're an educational institution looking to modernize your curriculum, a business seeking to build a talent pipeline, or a training provider offering specialized programs, we can help connect you with the right stakeholders.
