Established in 2013 by Shveta Raina, Talerang offers training to students and professionals with one motive, making a word-ready India. It expects to upskill 20 million students in 2020. 

India Skills Report said just 46.21 percent of graduates were work prepared in the present market. The number was a critical increment from 33 percent in 2014, however it actually implied that practically 50% of India’s graduates were to a great extent unemployable. Shveta Raina’s main goal is to create work-prepared graduates for India through a model researched at Harvard Business School. India has more than 35,000 universities and an enormous piece of the populace in the age group of 15-25 years. With more than 10 million graduating every year, this is a Huge market. 

Mumbai-based Talerang professes to be the main mover that gives a end to end training in the highly fragmented training market. The startup offers customized training to students and professionals.

Talerang: How the journey began

While working as a Director at Teach for India in 2011, Shveta spoke to many students who were unaware of the courses available in the market, confused about their careers, and unsure about where their passions lay. She found that while a portion of these students were academically great, they had very little practical knowledge. They did not have the correct counsel and direction, and she chose to address the issue. 

Her research started when she was a student at Harvard Business School in 2012. Alongside her Professor Das Narayan Das and in organization with Sinhali Deshpande, presently Talerang’s Curriculum Lead, she closely worked with students who were soon going to enter the corporate world. 

Talerang was launched as a simple, high quality solution to India’s work-readiness crisis and started by offering offline career training to students and professionals, followed by access to internships and jobs. This was layered with lifelong mentorship and access to a strong community of leaders and mentors. 

They initially started with just college students but now they have programs for candidates from the age of 13 to 30. It went from preparing 100 students in the first year to more than 100,000 in around six years. 

Talerang has seen a spike in enrolments in the past few months due to the pandemic. Applications have doubled for all courses, a tremendous growth of 100 percent.
