Executives at Wipro, for example, work with tens of thousands of colleges across India to train teachers to develop IT skills, build state-of-the-art curricula, and encourage students to become what they term ‘work-ready’.

Like Infosys they also work closely with hundreds of thousands of teenagers to actively increase their skills.
