Avanse Financial Services, a leading education-focused NBFC, has joined hands with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to democratize access to industry-relevant technology education for Indian students, irrespective of their financial background. The collaboration seeks to bolster employability by facilitating financial support and seamless access to cutting-edge learning programmes.
India’s young demographic holds immense potential, but to fully realise this advantage in a fast-evolving global job market, targeted skill development is essential. Recognising this need, Avanse and AWS have adopted a two-pronged strategy to expand access to job-ready skills.
Under the AWS Skill Builder initiative, Avanse will offer curated AWS skill-building programmes, along with education financing, to existing and prospective students pursuing higher education. Simultaneously, through AWS re/Start, the company will support underserved students via CSR initiatives by providing cloud and tech-skilling courses at zero cost.
According to Avanse MD & CEO Amit Gainda, “In a rapidly changing world, skill development is crucial for individuals to adapt, thrive, and remain relevant. This strategic partnership enables us to transform education financing into a holistic force that supports broader pathways to empowerment and economic mobility.”
He added that integrating AWS’s global-standard skilling resources with Avanse’s reach and financing expertise will create a powerful ecosystem focused on digital empowerment and accessible, affordable education for India’s youth.
The partnership aims to empower aspiring learners with cloud proficiency and hands-on learning opportunities, reinforcing Avanse’s mission to make education financing seamless and inclusive.
