Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani has announced India’s largest skill and employment initiative in collaboration with ITE Education Services (ITEES) of Singapore.
“Delighted to announce one of India’s largest Skill & Employ initiatives! In partnership with Singapore’s ITEES, the global leader in technical training, the Adani Group is launching the world’s largest finishing school in Mundra. This state-of-the-art facility will blend AI-driven immersive learning with cutting-edge innovation centres, and annually train over 25,000 learners to help accelerate the Make in India movement,” Gautam Adani posted on X.
The Adani Group has partnered with ITEES to establish a network of ‘Schools of Excellence’ aimed at catering to key industries, including Green Energy, Manufacturing, Hi-tech, Project Excellence, and Industrial Design. These schools, known as the Adani Global Skills Academy, will be funded by a donation of over ₹2,000 crore from the Adani family. The institutions will select students from technical and vocational education backgrounds across India to align with industry requirements.
Upon completion of their certification, students will have job opportunities within the Adani Group and across the industry, depending on their field of training. According to the company, the program is designed to produce professionals who are “first-day, first-hour industry ready and benchmarked to global standards of excellence.”
In the initial phase of the initiative, the world’s largest finishing school for technical training will be set up in Mundra, Gujarat. This facility aims to train more than 25,000 students each year for various industry roles. Fresh graduates and diploma holders from ITIs or Polytechnics with vocational and technical qualifications will be eligible to enroll in an intensive boot camp experience offered by the school. ITEES Singapore will serve as the knowledge partner for this project.
Earlier, during his son Jeet Adani’s wedding, Gautam Adani pledged ₹10,000 crore for various social causes, including infrastructure development in healthcare, education, and skill training. Additionally, Adani plans to contribute ₹6,000 crore toward building two integrated health campuses, Adani Health Cities (AHCs), in Ahmedabad and Mumbai, as reported by ANI.
