MUMBAI : AI CERTs, the global provider of vendor-aligned, role-focused AI certifications, has kicked off ‘Mission AI-Saksham’—a no-fee initiative to arm India’s students with future-ready AI skills. The scheme will see tie-ups with universities and colleges across disciplines—engineering, management, arts, commerce, and more—to deliver industry-backed AI training straight to campus.
The urgency is stark. India’s AI sector is tipped to create 2.3m jobs by 2027, yet only 1.2m qualified professionals are likely to be in the market. AI CERTs wants to close this yawning gap with a potent mix of free certifications, workshops, and AI-first curricula.
Speaking on the initiative, AI CERTs’ general manager Chintan Dave said, “As artificial intelligence reshapes global industries, the mismatch between academic curriculum and real-world job requirements has never been more evident. ‘Mission AI-Saksham’ is our response to this challenge. It’s an invitation for institutions and students alike to co-create a learning ecosystem that is agile, inclusive, and aligned with tomorrow’s demands.”
The company aims to certify one billion learners worldwide in AI and emerging tech. With ‘Mission AI-Saksham,’ that grand vision plants its flag in India, giving students the skills to code their own future, while turning a looming skills crisis into a classroom revolution.
