(AWS) to make high-quality, industry-relevant technology education accessible to a wider student base, regardless of their financial background. Avanse and AWS aim to support more aspiring individuals in gaining job-relevant skills by offering financial ease and access to high-quality learning.
India has a favourable demographic dividend with a large young population.

AWS re/Start: Avanse has designed several CSR initiatives to make quality education accessible for underserved Indian students. To strengthen its commitment, Avanse will make skill-building courses accessible via AWS re/Start to students at zero cost, providing the critical support they need to soar towards their aspirations.
Amit Gainda, Managing Director & CEO, Avanse Financial Services, said, “In a rapidly changing world, skill development is crucial for individuals to adapt, thrive, and remain relevant. The right skills equip individuals with the knowledge and abilities needed to navigate new technologies, industries, and job markets, enhancing employability, career advancement, and personal growth. This strategic partnership will enable us to transform education financing into a holistic, future-forward force, enhancing access to education while also supporting broader pathways to empowerment and economic mobility.”
