NEW DELHI (India CSR): Navya Nanda and Samyak Chakrabarty’s Nimaya Foundation returns to Haryana with the fourth year of its GenAI Ready Naari Program, equipping 4,000+ young women from the state with future-of-work GenAI capabilities, smart workplace skills and placement support. The Program is provided free of cost to colleges in Faridabad and Kurukshetra for their female students, and the Foundation is inviting college principals to join the mission of making the state and its women ready to lead in the AI enabled future of work.
Nimaya, co-founded in 2021 by Navya Nanda and Samyak Chakrabarty, is a future-ready not-for-profit that empowers young women from socio-economic barriers to thrive in the future of work. Nimaya, earlier this week hosted the launch of the fourth year of Haryana’s GenAI Ready Naari (GenAI Training) Program, a CSR initiative of Escorts Kubota Ltd. (EKL) at two colleges in Faridabad. The Program is provided entirely free of cost to colleges in Faridabad and Kurukshetra for their female students.
Over the past four years, it has enabled more than 4,000 young women across Haryana, and this year it aims to expand across 15+ educational institutions in the two districts, building on a growing network of academic partners across the state.
The Program is NSQF aligned and recognised by the National Council for Vocational Education and Training (NCVET), making participants eligible for micro credits under the Academic Bank of Credits (ABC), in keeping with the new National Education Policy. This means every young woman who completes the Program earns a nationally recognised credential alongside practical, industry-relevant capability.
As enrolment for the new cohort has begun, Nimaya is inviting them to bring the Program to their campuses at no cost and join the mission of making Haryana and its women ready to lead in the AI enabled future of work.
At the core of Nimaya’s GenAI Ready Naari Program is India’s first proprietary immersive curriculum specifically designed to train women from underserved communities in Generative AI and smart workplace skills. Outside the classroom, learners build hands-on capabilities through real-world exposure via industry capstone projects with organisations such as Jio Creative Labs and PepsiCo.
Nimaya delivers its mission at scale on a technology-first backbone, supported by an AI-powered layer that helps the program run efficiently and gives every learner visibility into her own progress.
Quote from Navya Naveli Nanda & Samyak Chakrabarty:
“Nimaya’s GenAI Ready Naari Program moves young women from using AI as a search engine to directing it as a professional work partner, which is an essential capability that all employers now screen for. Through immersive, hands-on learning, participants don’t just learn about AI; they build with it. We also aim to sharpen the skills no machine can replicate, like emotional intelligence, sharp communication, and an owner’s mindset that help learners build an authentic personal brand, ace interviews, and stand out as the candidate who gets chosen.”
As the fourth year gets underway across Faridabad and Kurukshetra, the launch will also spotlight the stories and aspirations of young women across Haryana, building momentum toward making future-ready, AI-driven skills more accessible.
