Virtual Startup Campus, India’s only Microlearning Platform for Business related upskilling in a community learning format has been launched by Markoknow Venture, a prominent player in the Startup Funding and Ecosystem Enablement sector.
Virtual Startup Campus (VSC), addresses the growing need for relevant and hands-on industry training in an era where rapid technological advancements, particularly AI, are reshaping the job market. The platform aims to not only fill the skills gap but also create “Job Creators” who can contribute to a more tech-led business landscape.
With AI disrupting the job market, Kaushiki’s vision for “Job Creators” from India aims to bridge the skills gap and create a workforce adaptable to the evolving organizational landscape.
Kaushiki Kesarwani, the Founder and leader of Product-Tech Leadership at VSC, also Guest Speaker and Mentor for various premier institutes & Incubation centers like IIT Delhi, IIT Bombay, IIM Shillong, Delhi University, Chief Executive Officer of Markoknow Venture, draws from personal experiences starting startups during college. She identifies college as an optimal time for experimentation with startups but acknowledges the challenges in understanding legal, tech, and other aspects of business.
