To accelerate inclusive growth and development in India, Microsoft chairman and CEO Satya Nadella has announced that 2 million Indians will get AI-based skill training through ADVANTA(I)GE INDIA initiative. 

Nadella made the ADVANTA(I)GE INDIA announcement at the Microsoft CEO Connection event in Mumbai on Wednesday (February 7, 2024). Top business, decision-makers, and industry leaders attended the event and applauded Microsoft’s Artificial intelligence (AI) based skill training initiatives. 

During his address, Nadella announced that Microsoft will provide 2 million people in India with AI skilling opportunities by 2025 through its new ADVANTA(I)GE INDIA initiative. This will help close skills gaps across the nation and strengthen India’s ability to thrive in AI.

How Microsoft’s ADVANTA(I)GE Boosts India’s AI Skills

The ADVANTA(I)GE INDIA initiative will focus on three key areas to create AI fluency: equipping India’s future workforce, upskilling government officials in AI, and working to build the AI capability of nonprofit organizations.    

  • Training the future workforce to harness AI’s potential: To deliver ADVANTA(I)GE INDIA, Microsoft will partner with India’s Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and 10 state governments to provide basic and advanced training in AI to 500,000 students and job seekers in 100 rural vocational education institutions and training centers. 
  • Strengthening the AI capability of government officers to deliver next-generation citizen services: Microsoft will strengthen its partnership with India’s National Programme for Civil Services Capacity Building, equipping 250,000 government officers with essential knowledge of generative AI and increasing their AI fluency. 
  • Enabling nonprofit organizations to accelerate their AI transformation and maximize social impact: Building on the Generative AI Skills Challenge, Microsoft and LinkedIn will convene the India Nonprofit Leaders Summit in April 2024. The summit will enable 2,500 nonprofits and nongovernment organizations to leverage AI skilling resources and technologies to further train 750,000 learners, including underserved youths, young women, and jobseekers, in AI fluency and technical skills.
