V-shesh Learning Services Pvt Ltd trains and connects Persons with Disabilities (“PwD”) and low-income rural job seekers in India to careers in sectors such as technology, retail, banking, hospitality etc. It provides end-to-end services to PwD from training & counseling, connecting them with recruiters to pre and post joining support. Apart from this, V-shesh provides consulting services to help companies become more accessible to PwD and also conducts sensitization workshops. Another pilot that it has started is with MFIs to give loans to PwD.
Investment Rationale
Gray Matters Capital saw a high social impact opportunity in backing V-Shesh through First Light Ventures. Even though disabled people constitute a significant 5 to 6 percentage of the population of India, their needs for meaningful employment remain unmet. Of the approximately 70 million people with disabilities in India, only about 0.1 million have succeeded in getting employment in the industries till now – something which V-Shesh is trying to correct.
