STARTUP STORY

   Nowadays, Most institutions in India are only concerned with giving out a degree. There is no focus on placement. Almost 99 percent of institutions are not bothered about the careers of candidates. And the students are misled by career counselors. They sell them whichever course they get the highest margin for.

     After a year of market research to create a model that is beneficial to both students and employers. In January, Nirpeksh's startup SkillEnable launched its first cohort-based course. Since then, it has started four more cohorts, with the first batch graduating last month.

    The startup offers employability-focused data science courses to make tech talent future-ready. The courses are tailor-made to meet specific industry demands. There are three programs that provide by SkillEnables.

    SkillEnable claims that it has stringent selection criteria and enrolls less than two percent of applicants. So far, its cohorts have a 91 percent placements rate, with companies like Algoscale, KreditBee, The MathCompany, Schbang, and others, offering jobs to candidates.

    candidates pay the course fee (Rs 2.5 lakh) only after they start earning the minimum guaranteed CTC (Rs 5-18 LPA for freshers and Rs 7-22 LPA for professionals) or more. SkillEnable charges them a predefined percentage of the CTC.

     Today, the platform is seeing 4000 applications per month, and it looks to graduate over 300 students by the end of 2022. SkillEnable has hit a monthly run are of Rs 30-40 lakh and is aiming to grow that to Rs 1 crore by March 2022.
