Skills Center around GIFT

DAI-ICT | IIM-Ahmedabad | IIT-Gandhinagar (Under-Construction)
Opportunities to resource high paid, high skilled graduates as well as post graduates are ample. With some of highest pay packages at DAI-ICT are running around 23 lakh per annum. Though considering population of India and also population of rural Gujarat, one can see that they represent select few privileged meritocrats.

GIFT City can become haven for such graduates if there were venues for them to raise money, or pitch their ideas and network of mentor helping them in action.  

India's economy truly needs leverage of its underlying potential of human capital to offer design services, consultative services catering to rural population. Considering large population of India residing in Rural areas give ample opportunity to leverage younger generations to learn ICT Skill Set. 

DAI - ICT or Dhirubhai Ambani Institute for Information Communication Technology, intends to focus on imparting education around these skill-set, and located in southern Gandhinagar. Close proximity to GIFT City roughly 20 mins drive, makes it a preferable institutional partner. 

Though IIM - Ahmadabad campus may seem far considering its just 50 mins away keeps it alluring enough for future Finance Grads to take the reins. But graduates prefer stability after years of toiling and reaching pedestal of academic accolades, go seek greener pastures.

And in future with IIT Gandhinagar opening up close by around DAI ICT, may end up fueling their community even more for pursuing innovative ventures.
