Problem statement
Despite India's large youth population, apprenticeship participation remains significantly below potential. Key barriers include complex government portals, fragmented workflows, low awareness, limited digital literacy, and heavy dependence on cybercafes or informal intermediaries. These challenges disproportionately affect youth from rural, low-income, and marginalized communities.
