Making Upskilling Affordable and Accessible

The amount of money it takes to receive a formal education can be intimidating - but a formal education isn’t the only way. Hear from the people learning new skills and building careers through technology. People like Gyan Prakash Mishra, who got a job using an 'education' he paid for after getting a job. We also speak to Prateek Shukla, the co-founder and CEO of Masai school, who tells us about the interesting business model he came up with to overcome the affordability barrier. This podcast is also available in Tamil and Hindi. A special thanks to Omidyar Network India for making this season possible.
