Airblack, a skilling academy, proudly announces that 6,500 students successfully graduated from its programs during the 2022-23 academic year. Ranging from freelance makeup artistry to culinary entrepreneurship, these new avenues have taken root across 600+ cities in India through the academy’s online learning platform.
“Our 3-year anniversary brings forth a key impact milestone for us. Today, Airblack’s learn, earn, and grow philosophy has already helped thousands of women across Indian cities develop their passion and earn an independent livelihood,” expressed Videt Jaiswal, Co-Founder & CEO of Airblack.
More than 85 percent of the academy’s graduates have transitioned to rewarding income opportunities. These individuals include existing professionals who’ve seen their income double, homemakers who’ve discovered economic self-reliance for the first time, and students who’ve started earning while learning. Overall, graduated students have seen their average monthly income go up to Rs. 30,000 a month within 6-8 months of starting their learning journey.
“We received over 10 lakh applications from 530 cities and 5 countries. However, we were only able to enroll a few thousand students. Nevertheless, we offered our workshops for free to over 5 lakh women in India last year. This has given us the confidence to invest significantly in training 1 lakh women in the next 4 years,” said Jaiswal.
The academy has also organized free career seminars across 50+ cities, making skilling opportunities accessible to people in every corner of the country. Their impact is felt not only in metros like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, and Hyderabad but also in significant Tier 2 cities such as Lucknow, Kanpur, Pune, Jaipur, Jodhpur, Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Indore, Ahmedabad, Surat, Dehradun, and Agra.
