Of India's unemployed youth are graduates.
In 1983, graduates made up 13% of unemployed 20–29 year-olds. By 2023, that number hit 67%. India doesn't have an education problem — it has an employability problem. More degrees than ever, but degrees alone don't create jobs.
While leading Unacademy as Group COO, Vivek Sinha noticed something troubling: thousands of engineers, MBAs, and even PhDs were competing for clerical government jobs. The problem wasn't a lack of degrees — it was a total disconnect between what colleges taught and what employers needed.
Emversity was built to close that gap. Rather than creating another university, we partner with existing institutions and embed the industry layer — employer-designed curriculum, clinical and hotel training, skill labs, and guaranteed internships — directly into their programmes. The university provides the campus and the credential. We make the qualification worth something in the job market.
Today, students who joined Emversity as 12th-pass applicants are working as cardiac technicians at Fortis, as front-desk managers at Taj, and as nursing professionals bound for Germany. The model is working — and it's scaling across 24 states.
"Every student who joins Emversity should graduate with a qualification and a career. That is non-negotiable."— Vivek Sinha, Founder & CEO
