About us
A new organisation, being honest about it
We were registered in 2026 to work on the gap between what people learn and the opportunities they can actually reach. Nothing on this site claims to be running before it is.
Why we exist
The gap we are built to close
India produces more graduates each year than almost anywhere on earth, and employers still describe the same shortfall: people who know a subject without knowing the job. The gap is not talent. It is the absence of a route between one and the other.
Indo-Global Skills & Edu Foundation was set up to build those routes — between school and college, between college and work, between an Indian institution and an international one, and between a student project and something that can be funded.
We are a young organisation. We have a defined plan across six areas of work, leadership with long records in education and industry, and no delivery history yet. That last point matters, and we would rather state it than let a website imply otherwise.
Purpose and direction
Mission
To co-create practical, inclusive learning pathways with learners, educators, institutions, employers, and communities.
Vision
A future in which every learner can access relevant education, build useful capabilities, and pursue meaningful opportunity.
What we hold to
Three commitments
Built with institutions
We are not trying to replace colleges, training providers, or employers. Our work runs through them.
Judged on what follows
The measure of a programme is what a participant can do afterwards, and whether it changed their options.
Leadership
Who leads the work
Each area of work sits with a named person rather than the organisation in general.
Dr. Ashok Digambarrao Chavan
Chairman and Managing Director
Leads execution across corporate training, industry partnerships, and corporate social responsibility programmes.
Prof. V. N. Rajasekharan Pillai
Founder and Vice Chairman
Provides academic direction across international affiliations, AI curriculum standards, and the innovation portfolio.
Mahesh Ahuja
Executive Director
Drives strategic partnerships and advisory initiatives across corporate training and industry collaborations. Leverages 20+ years of experience in banking and financial services to cultivate high-performing teams and drive organizational success.
Accountability
What we will not do
We do not publish beneficiary numbers, placement rates, or partner names we cannot evidence. We do not describe a proposed programme as an operating one. We do not claim affiliation with any similarly named institution, college, or summit — no such relationship exists.
