SkillUp India 4.0 by NxtWave is a one-of-a-kind upskilling program designed to empower the nation's youth with advanced skills in 4.0 technologies like AI, ML, and Full-Stack Development. This initiative seeks to bridge the gap between industry and academia, fostering the next generation of tech leaders and innovators. Under the SkillUp India 4.0 initiative, NxtWave is making tech education accessible to all by conducting Generative AI workshops for over 25 lakh students at more than 3,000 colleges across the country.

Speaking to the industry stakeholders at the press conference Rahul Attuluri, Co-Founder and CEO of NxtWave said, ‘’We are honoured to partner with NSDC, under the guidance of the Skill Development Ministry, to equip deserving students with the tools and skills they need to unlock their full potential. Together, we are dedicated to creating opportunities for young minds to explore, innovate, and contribute to India’s growth story. SkillUp India 4.0 is born from our shared vision of nurturing a highly skilled, future-ready workforce, as AI and emerging technologies promise to create vast opportunities in the Indian market.''

With growing uncertainties in the job market, NxtWave, through its SkillUp India 4.0 initiative, will offer a free software job employability test for over 5 lakh students, helping to assess their skills and connect them with suitable opportunities. Additionally, to break down barriers to top software jobs, NxtWave is offering free access to its 2-year Full Stack + AI/ML program for deserving students across 500 NIRF-ranked colleges.

This initiative is a significant step towards realizing the Prime Minister’s vision of Viksit Bharat, where every young Indian is empowered with the skills needed to shape the future. With initiatives like SkillUp India 4.0, in collaboration with NxtWave, we are not only advancing the Skill India Mission but also positioning India as the skill capital and innovation hub of the world.
