Avanse Financial Services (Avanse), a leading education-focused non-banking financial company (NBFC) in India has collaborated with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to make high-quality, industry-relevant technology education accessible to students regardless of their financial background.
The objective of both the entities is to support aspirations of the youth by imparting job-relevant skills and offering offering financial ease and access to high-quality learning.
Avanse and AWS realise that India has a large young population, and in order to fully leverage this advantage and meet the demands of the global job market, it is crucial to provide adequate skill training to enhance employability.
This partnership will make relevant courses available, following a two-pronged strategy:
Under AWS skill builder, Avanse will provide curated skill-building programmes by AWS, along with the necessary funding, to both its existing and prospective higher education students.
Under AWS re/Start, Avanse has designed several CSR initiatives to make quality education accessible for underserved Indian students. To strengthen its commitment, Avanse will make skill-building courses accessible via AWS re/Start to students at zero cost, providing the critical support they need to soar towards their aspirations.
Amit Gainda, managing director & CEO, Avanse Financial Services, said, “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.”
According to Gainda, “This collaboration will enable us to further strengthen our commitment towards India’s digital and skilling transformation. By integrating AWS’s world-class skilling programmes with our education-financing expertise and student access, we aim to create a robust ecosystem that unlocks potential at scale, making quality education accessible, affordable and relevant to today’s dynamic learning landscape.”
The collaboration will equip ambitious aspirants with practical skills and cloud expertise through dynamic, hands-on learning experiences. This further empowers Avanse to remain steadfast in its mission of making education financing seamless and affordable for every deserving Indian student.
