Tentang Yayasan Wadhwani
Didirikan pada tahun 2003 oleh Dr. Romesh Wadhwani, misi utama Yayasan ini adalah akselerasi ekonomi di negara-negara berkembang. Yayasan ini memulai misinya di India terlebih dahulu, dan kemudian, Yayasan ini telah berekspansi ke Amerika Serikat dan negara-negara lain. Di India, dengan pertumbuhan yang diperkirakan mencapai 250-300 juta orang yang akan memasuki dunia kerja pada tahun 2022, penciptaan lapangan kerja berskala besar menjadi keharusan utama bagi negara ini. Selain itu, seiring dengan pertumbuhan populasi India yang berusia muda, negara-negara paling maju di dunia semakin menua, menawarkan India kesempatan untuk menjadi pemasok bakat global. Mengkatalisasi penciptaan lapangan kerja dan pengembangan keterampilan menjadi dua area target utama yang menjadi fokus utama dari Yayasan ini. Selama dekade terakhir, Wadhwani Foundation telah meluncurkan lima Inisiatif khusus yang berdampak besar di India. Inisiatif-inisiatif ini termasuk mempromosikan keterampilan kewirausahaan dan ketenagakerjaan, memanfaatkan para penyandang disabilitas yang berpendidikan, mendorong inovasi dan mendorong perubahan kebijakan untuk memulai peluang ekonomi. Untuk mengatasi pengangguran kaum muda dan pengangguran yang terus meningkat di Amerika Serikat, Wadhwani Foundation meluncurkan inisiatif 'Race to a Job' pada tahun 2012.
