Masai Ma(y)king Dreams Come True

Technology has the power to transform lives, and nowhere is this more evident than in education. Around the world, millions of graduates struggle to find jobs because they lack the right skills.

In India alone, nearly 48% of graduates are deemed unemployable due to this skill gap. It’s a global challenge, but also a tremendous opportunity.

As Walt Disney said, “All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.”

But courage needs opportunity, and that’s where innovative education steps in.

This month, we’re focusing on Masai School, a coding academy that’s bridging the skills gap and creating equal opportunities. By providing skill-based training in software development, Masai School helps people from diverse backgrounds achieve better careers and a real shot at success.

Join us as we dive into the Masai story, one that’s transforming education and paving the way for a brighter, more skilled future for millions.

Portfolio Power

Masai School has started offering computer science courses through its “IIT for All” initiative, which is in partnership with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) and the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC).

In these courses, students also have the option to participate in campus immersion, where they can engage in various events at IITs, including fests, graduation, and orientation ceremonies.

Partner Insights

Forget the Silicon Valley unicorn race – it’s time to embrace the resilient ‘camel’ built for sustainable growth in challenging terrain.

Our Managing Partner Susana Garcia-Robles, in her latest column featured in Business Insider, emphasizes that the Global South is an emerging market where local challenges lead to groundbreaking innovation opportunities. Thriving there requires companies to adopt the ‘camel approach’ that prioritizes profitability and stability and can withstand in the long run.
