GHM edia B usiness The Future Global MDA Journal Pioneers Internity Foundation Internity Foundation is a registered Section-8 Non Profit organisation founded in February 2017 working in making India ‘Technology Ready’ under our campaign ‘Technology for Humanity’. We are based at Noida. Presently, we have started with transforming the learning environment in tier 2 and tier 3 engineering colleges with a focus on CSE, IT and ECE branches, promoting startups and research, all this with a vision ‘To make people creators not users’ as they are the source of technology learning. We are backed by various IT firms, Tech-based communities and meetup groups like Rannlab Technologies, CloudDive Labs, Unanth Technologies, TLRNow, IOT-NCR, Sector 7, YuvaManthan and are working for a vision ‘Technology For Humanity’. Existing Problems l Nominal Learning Environment in Tier 2 and Tier 3 Engineering Colleges l Various surveys stated more than 90% of Indian Engineers lack employability skills l Lack of Innovation and Research in India We understand that all the above problems are an outcome of how the people have adopted technology, and the way they have studied in their alma mater. What industry requires, what is needed for innovation and what our college curriculum provides has a huge gap which needs to be bridged. We have all the resources in the colleges, still the outcomes are not as per our expectations. What’s missing is the adoption of college and career by the students and alignment of college and students on a common vision. Due to this gap India is highly deprived of technology solutions to its problems even though it has all the resources. Following are few facts supporting our problem statement l Low Possibilities of getting Jobs l 92.72% Engineers lack desired Programming and Algorithm skills l Less Scope of Research Opportunities l 72.77% Engineers lack Soft skills l Insignificant Open Source Contribution by India l 59.40% Engineers lack Cognitive skills l Lost Startup Incubation Opportunities l 3.84% Engineers qualify for startup engineering role l Chronic Problem of Brain Drain/Talent Migration l Only 56% employability in best colleges and Less than 10% in bottom 30 percentile colleges l India being home for many large IT companies and providing cutting edge solutions for financials, banking, healthcare, artificial intelligence, automated solutions, is the country which is deprived of these facilities the most. l 5% percent of Indian IT professionals contribute to open source projects l Lack of opportunities in electronics, mechanical and electricals engineering sectors. 44 | january-february 2019 | l 5% of Indian IT professionals contribute to Open Source Projects The Solution: Internity is an ecosystem to provide skill based learning to the college students with support from colleges, experts community, training institutions, industry and government.
