Scope

With an endless flow of young and motivated engineers, scientists, and business managers offering world skills in almost every areas of global business, we are emerging as the next “superpower”. Its nice to note that we are poised for an explosive growth and heralded as the next economic super power by 2020. But are we in a position to really live up to the expectation or is it a just a hype we are going through?

With growth in every industry, there is a sudden demand for skilled workforce in retail, IT enabled services like BPO, KPO etc., which require human potential to handle the volume business. We will convert the erstwhile weakness (population) into an opportunity (again population) by providing various reskillng / upskilling programs to the needy in association with the experts in the respective domains. There has been a great demand for such professionals while the supply is less. 

No amount of colleges and universities can bridge the gap to provide skilled man power and hence we have adopted to the power of technology to provide the same. GradFirst has the capability of reaching to the length and breadth of the country and by breaking the barriers – thanks to the powerful technology platform built for this. The technology platform known as VEDAS (Virtual Education Delivery and Assessment System) has built in features to simulate real time class room environment viz., online counseling, online admission, online content delivery, online self assessment, digital library, online performance analysis and forecasting and many such features that will make the user the best breed in the subject chosen. There are options like Learning path (LP) for performance tracking and Dashboards for performance analysis such as peer to peer review, speed analyzer, rank analyzer and even forecasting the required learning rate versus current rate of learning. (Remember cricket?)

The Online Finishing School just fits into the requirement and provides various reskilling or upsilling to the final year graduates in Science, Commerce, Engineering and Management disciplines and make them employable or Job Ready. While GradFirst delivers the programme similar to a physical system, it takes the advantage of spreading across the country without having to invest on fixed assets, faculty and other resources.

Business Model

The business model is to provide various reskiling or upskilling programmes through the Online Finishing School in order to make them “employable” or “self employable” or enable them to transform themselves from being job seekers to job providers. The target is the millions of graduates who have the real energy to make this mission a reality. What is needed is “hand holding”, a mentoring process by which we can make them become “Job Ready”.  The business model is to convert the human population into human potential and make them become employable in the areas of their expertise.

Hardly 30% of the school children who pass out are able to get into professional colleges due to lack of training resources available to prepare themselves for the competitive examinations. Hardly 30% of the graduates who pass out of the colleges are employable or Job Ready. We will bridge the gap by providing the requisite knowledge through our GradFirst.

We have developed many programmes for each category of students in science, commerce, engineering and management disciplines and have tied up with prospective employers who are interested in such “processed” or “skilled” graduates. GradFirst plays the role of an enabler in the whole business model.

On a global level, for any country let us assume that 2.5% of the world’s GDP is attributed to the software industry while the balance 97.5% is attributed to the rest of the economy. While Trading and retail is about 1.5 times bigger in size compared to IT, manufacturing is 11 times bigger than IT sector. Compared this to Tourism industry which is 6 times bigger to IT, whereas Health care is about 4 times bigger than IT, not to mention about Education which is 4 times bigger than the core IT sector. This means the employment opportunities are spread every where but what is needed is to enhance the “employability quotient” of every individual. This can be done by making them “work smart” by providing the above said “hand holding”.

HOW CAN WE MAKE THIS BUSINESS MODEL SUCCESSFUL?

The above task will be accomplished through Educards – an innovative knowledge access card which contain 16 digit access code for secured login to our servers that have precious knowledge repository.  Educards thus provide instant knowledge delivery to the users from where ever he / she is, thus providing a true “any time, anywhere” learning experience.

And here comes the business opportunity for all of us - wrapped up so long and not identified  by any one so far.  We will market the reskilling / upsilling programmes through Educards to educate, empower and enable them to get into their dream Job. Further international certification company has joined hands with us to provide e-certification to the programmes which will be valid globally. The certificates offered will carry a seal of authentication by way of Global Access Code (GAC) and the same will be made available in the global database which will be validated by intelliCAS. The students can connect to the prospective employers by using this unique GAC and there is a secured validation system inside the GradFirst portal which will vouch for the authenticity of the knowledge base of the students so that they get edge over others.

We have tied up with corporate like Reliance and many other global companies world over and also with prestigious educational institutions who share the same mission and look forward to capitalize on the billion dollar business opportunity. Simply put, we are trying to address the market demand by working smart and working fast – with the power of technology
