By training over a lakh people in various sectors like banking, telecom, retail, security, auto, healthcare and hospitality, in the next two years, city-based enterprise Globsyn Skills is eyeing a Rs 100 crore turnover.
"At present we have more than 400 franchisee centres in 12 states of the country. For the next two years we are working on having 1,200 centres spread across 250 districts of India," Globsyn Skills Director Rahul Dasgupta told PTI.
At present, their business is worth Rs 35 crore which they want to increase to Rs 100 crore in two years time by training more than a lakh people.
Started in 2011 as a social enterprise to impart skills training to thousands of people in various verticals, the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) also has a 27 per cent equity stake in Globsyn Skills.
"So far banking sector has been the bulk of our business but now we are looking at new sectors like hospitality, IT and ITeS, leather, renewable energy," Dasgupta said, adding that many youngsters in India have qualification but do not have employable skills which leads to unemployment.
"So the impact of our work is felt directly at the ground level as imparting of skills is key to employment generation," he said.
They are now also trying to develop a training module for plumbers, taxi drivers, domestic helps.
"We do not have certified plumbers or domestic helps who have been trained professionally for their jobs. So now we are developing course modules for them as well," Dasgupta said.
Working with the government, education and the private sector, Globsyn has already trained close to 40,000 youth across sectors.
