'Brand to Land' is a groundbreaking all-women-led ed-tech startup born amidst the pandemic. Their innovative approach involves constructing an AI-driven language model that equips Gen-Z students with industry-ready skills while they're still in college, promoting self-learning at affordable rates. Concurrently, 'They Call Me A Researcher' fosters a community for researchers and PhD students.
Pavithra and her team are focused on creating an ethical, transparent, and sustainable AI language model. Designed to empower Gen-Z students, it enables self-guided skill acquisition with minimal guidance, cultivating a love for independent learning.
With over 1.5 million engineering graduates annually in India, a significant percentage struggle to secure employment due to outdated syllabi and insufficient resources. 'Brand to Land' bridges this gap by arming students with relevant skills, helping them secure suitable jobs and fulfilling careers.
The initiative also addresses the unemployment challenge. Many students, once hopeful of prestigious roles, settle for any available position due to a lack of exposure and relevant skills. The mismatch between fresh graduates' skills and industry expectations contributes to this dilemma.
Through her efforts, Pavithra envisions equipping Generation Z students with proactive mindsets, industry insights, and self-learned skills. She aims to cultivate personal brand value, facilitate networking with industry professionals, and empower students to pursue their dreams, even as entrepreneurs.
'Brand to Land' strives to remedy these issues through its AI language model, enabling students to acquire desired skills and attain dream jobs, eliminating irrelevant job choices.
In the coming five years, the goal is to impact at least 10 million students worldwide by leveraging the AI model to facilitate boundaryless self-learning.
