Concerning the Indian startup ecosystem, the ed-tech platform stated it is on track to create the largest pool of placement opportunities for software job seekers by onboarding 10,000+ companies over the next five years.
“India’s IT industry is set to grow three times this decade, stated Rahul Attuluri, CEO of NxtWave. Through industry-aligned training, we have focused on preparing the youth for this massive opportunity. Many businesses have recognized the value that our students bring to the table. This achievement demonstrates that we are on the right track in solving the talent gap in the ICT sector.”
