AWS re/Start: Avanse has designed several CSR initiatives to make quality education accessible for underserved Indian students. To reinforce its efforts, Avanse will make skill-building courses accessible via AWS re/Start to students at zero cost, providing the support needed to pursue their aspirations.
Amit Gainda, Managing Director & CEO, Avanse Financial Services, said, “In a rapidly changing world, skill development is crucial for individuals to adapt, thrive, and remain relevant. The right skills equip individuals with the knowledge and abilities needed to navigate new technologies, industries, and job markets, enhancing employability, career advancement, and personal growth. This strategic partnership will enable us to transform education financing into a holistic, future-forward force, enhancing access to education while also supporting broader pathways to empowerment and economic mobility.”
