SUCCESS JOURNEY
While working in her family-run business, Safexpress, one of India's leading logistics companies, she noticed a big gap in the logistics sector: a lack of a skilled workforce. This was when she decided to do something.
The idea of setting up something to train and equip Indians with practical skills that are required for the professional realm - specific to supply chain and logistics, came at the right opportunities, and from here the journey of Safeducate started.
11 years ago, skill development still existed only on dilapidated government polytechnics and new industries like logistics had yet not recognized the importance of trained manpower. While researching for her book on trucking titled 'Horn Please' she realized that the drivers, as well as the rest of the workforce in the industry, had no formal training and no real growth prospects.
Apart from this, Every year, hundreds of these large containers are scrapped due to several reasons. There are around 17 million containers in the world. Due to the high shipping costs of returning these containers to their origins, it had been estimated that several reasons. There are around 17 million containers on the globe. Due to the high shipping costs of returning these containers to other origins, it had been estimated that several million of these containers have been simply discarded.
So that, Divya worked on it and launched India's first container schools. The Safeducate Container School, which was created using recycled shipping containers.

Instead of joining the family business, a reputed logistics and express distribution company, Divya decided to expand the group's impact on the supply chain sector by addressing a key issue that affected the industry - the unavailability of skilled manpower to operate and manage various logistic and distribution activities.
Initially, Divya faced many challenges. Firstly, it was difficult to convince people to join their training programs. People understood the idea of a college or university or even a school, but vocational education and that too based out of schools made of containers and in the field of supply chain and logistics was too foreign a concept.
Safeeducate provides training on skill development across India for a duration of three to six months. There are two types of courses: Entry-level, and management trainee programs. Entry-level courses get funding through CSR and central government, while the company charges around Rs.30,000-50,000 for the management trainee model based on the duration of the course.
They reached out to government bodies and partnered with the still-nascent National Skill Development Corporation to create a logistics skill council to lay down standards and career paths for the sector. Safeducate initiated training and skilling activities, which have now been recognized as extremely crucial by all stalwarts of the industry.
