The program reflects Infosys Foundation's commitment to bridging the gap between learning and fostering sustainable livelihoods. By partnering with experts and investing in industry-relevant curricula, the program aims to empower talented youth in India to skill themselves and secure rewarding careers, contributing to the country's economic growth [1].

The Infosys Springboard Livelihood Program is part of Infosys Foundation's broader mission to support programs in the areas of education, healthcare, women empowerment, and environmental sustainability, among others. The foundation takes pride in working with all sections of society, selecting projects with infinite care, and working in areas that are traditionally overlooked by society at large [1].
