Anudip Foundation is a technology-enabled skilling organisation founded in 2007 by technologists Deepak Basu and Radha Basu to address a critical and persistent challenge in India’s development trajectory: the exclusion of large sections of youth from the digital economy due to lack of access to industry-relevant skills. Conceived at a time when rapid digitisation was beginning to reshape labour markets, Anudip was established with the objective of enabling underserved youth—particularly from rural, tribal, and low-income urban communities—to transition into formal, technology-driven employment.
Over nearly two decades, Anudip has developed and scaled a structured skilling ecosystem that combines technical training, workplace readiness, and technology-enabled learning systems to improve employability outcomes for first-generation learners. The organisation focuses not on basic digital literacy, but on preparing youth for entry-level roles in the technology sector that offer sustained income and upward mobility.
