Skilling India's Next Generation
from The Good Sight Podcast Hosted by The Good Sight Podcast
If you’ve ever walked through the narrow lanes of small towns or sat across from a young dreamer in an urban slum, you’ll know—talent is everywhere, but opportunity? Not so much. Millions of young Indians stand at the edge of possibility, armed with ambition but held back by lack of access, skills, or support. And when it comes to adolescent girls in underserved geographies, the gap grows even wider. That’s where Kiwaad—meaning ‘doorway’—steps in. Through industry-aligned training in retail, BFSI, and digital skills, Kiwaad isn’t just creating livelihoods—it’s transforming identities. In this episode, we’re joined by Nidhi Rai, the passionate founder of Kiwaad, who’s on a mission to ensure that no young dreamer gets left behind. Discussion Highlights 🔹The overlooked challenges facing adolescent girls in India’s youth landscape 🔹The meaning behind ‘Kiwaad’ and the kind of opportunities it aims to unlock 🔹Barriers in remote districts like mobility, early marriage, and digital access—and how Kiwaad tackles them 🔹Beyond numbers: spotting real change through confidence, agency, and decision-making 🔹Blending community models with tech: using digital tools even in low-connectivity areas Reach out to us at The Good Sight by emailing us at [email protected] with a brief description of your work and achievements, or give us a call at 9696399931.
