New Delhi, Dec 22: Leading not-for-profit organisation, NIIT Foundation, hosted a first-of-its-kind impact-experiential workshop on 16th December 2025 at the USI Premises, New Delhi. Designed as an invite-only event, the workshop aimed to reimagine how social impact can be scaled across India. The event was attended by leaders from corporate, philanthropic, policy, and development ecosystems.
Anchored in the theme “Future-Ready Impact Humanity, Technology and Inclusion,” the afternoon focused on how technology-led interventions are being applied at the grassroots to address gaps in access and opportunity. Participants were given a closer look at NIIT Foundation’s on-ground work through its digital bus initiative and a series of experiential booths, which demonstrated how digital tools are being used to reach communities at the last mile.
The workshop was graced by the virtual presence of Sujeet Kumar, Member of Parliament and Member of the Standing Committee on Communications & Information Technology. Commenting on the importance of such engagements, he said, “While our systems for data collation are robust, it is imperative that technology meaningfully reaches rural pockets. Organisations like NIIT Foundation are essential in ensuring this last-mile impact.”
Speaking at the event, Ms. Sapna Moudgil, Chief Executive Officer, NIIT Foundation, said,
“For us, impact is not a statistic alone; it is a lived reality shaped by people, partnerships, and policy working together. I am certain this helped the gathering to experience that reality firsthand, and to explore how technology, when guided by empathy and intent, can unlock dignity, opportunity, and lasting inclusion for India’s youth.”
NIIT Foundation’s work today spans 83% of India’s districts, with more than 13 million learners skilled, and over 3 lakh successful job placements enabled across its programs. The Foundation’s initiatives focus on expanding access to opportunity for underserved youth, particularly women and first-generation learners, across themes like digital and financial literacy, STEM education, employability, and livelihood training.
According to the World Economic Forum’s India-focused analysis, around 63% Indian workers will require digital upskilling by 2030, with a portion at risk of missing training. As India advances the Digital India vision and works towards the broader goal of Viksit Bharat, the demand for job-ready digital skills is rising across sectors.
