Bengaluru, India – October 13, 2026: The Infosys Foundation, which serves as the philanthropic and corporate social responsibility arm of Infosys, revealed today that its Infosys Springboard Livelihood Program has successfully facilitated over 2.5 lakh job offers across India. This achievement represents the halfway point toward its ultimate goal of generating half a million employment opportunities nationwide by the year 2030, highlighting the Foundation’s dedication to fostering sustainable livelihoods via industry-aligned skilling, career entry points, and robust collaborative networks.
Since debuting last year, the initiative has opened up employment pathways for young people by teaming up with a network of 20 implementation partners, such as the Nirmaan Organization, ICT Academy, Magic Bus, Centum Foundation, and the Aga Khan Rural Support Programme (India). Specifically, the effort has secured more than 1.17 lakh job offers for graduates and over 96,000 for undergraduates, helping to close the divide between formal education and the workforce. Furthermore, the program has unlocked more than 1.25 lakh job offers for women alongside upwards of 1,000 positions for Persons with Disabilities (PwD), emphasizing the Foundation’s focus on inclusive growth. To support this, the Infosys Foundation partnered with the AssisTech Foundation (ATF) for its employment platform and will collaborate with The Association of People with Disability (APD) to broaden career access for disabled individuals.
Sumit Virmani, Trustee at Infosys Foundation, remarked: “At Infosys Foundation, we believe the true success of education is not the number of people skilled, but the number of lives meaningfully transformed through employment. Reaching the halfway milestone of our 2030 goal with 2.5 lakh job offers demonstrates what is possible when learning is closely aligned to industry demand. Beyond livelihoods, this milestone represents greater economic independence, social mobility, and opportunities for individuals and families to build a more secure future. We remain committed to enabling access to future-ready skills, inclusive employment opportunities, and pathways for more young people to participate meaningfully in India’s growth story.”
V. Srikanth, CEO of ICT Academy, stated: “The Infosys Springboard Livelihood Program demonstrates how strategic partnerships can create meaningful and lasting impact for India’s youth. At ICT Academy, we believe that skills become truly transformative when they lead to sustainable livelihoods and economic empowerment. Through this initiative, we are seeing young people, many from underserved and first-generation learner backgrounds, gain industry-relevant skills, digital competencies, and the confidence to pursue meaningful careers. What makes this program particularly impactful is its focus on connecting learning with real-world employment opportunities, helping bridge the gap between potential and opportunity. Beyond enhancing employability, it is enabling youth to become financially independent, support their families, and contribute to their communities. We appreciate Infosys’ commitment to building an inclusive, future-ready workforce and are proud to partner in empowering young people to realize their aspirations and drive India’s growth story.”
Mayur Patnala, Founder, Chairperson & Global CEO of Nirmaan Organization, shared: “India’s demographic dividend can only be realized when every young person has access to the skills, opportunities, and support needed to succeed in the workforce. The Infosys Springboard Livelihood Program is helping bridge that gap by focusing not just on employability, but on sustainable livelihoods and long-term career growth. We are proud to partner with Infosys Foundation in empowering youth from underserved communities with industry-relevant skills, workplace readiness, and the confidence to pursue their aspirations. Together, we are creating opportunities that can transform lives, strengthen families, and build a more inclusive and skilled nation.”
