Magic Bus representatives with youth participants at their Employers Summit As part of this initiative, Magic Bus is convening the Employers Summit Series, its official pre-summit engagement ahead of the India AI Impact Summit 2026. The multi-city series, being held across Chennai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Delhi, and Mumbai, is anchored in the theme AI-Ready Talent: What Employers Really Want Tomorrow. With editions in Chennai and Hyderabad already concluded, the Employers Summit Series now moves to Bengaluru, Delhi, and Mumbai, building on early conversations that set the tone for inclusive, ethical, and scalable AI adoption. The series aims to strengthen employeryouth linkages and shape demand-driven skilling pathways by bringing together employers, policymakers, CSR leaders, academia, and youth innovators. By aligning industry expectations with grassroot realities, the series supports Indias goal of democratising access to AI skills and preparing an AI-ready workforce at scale. The India AI Impact Summit 2026, organised under the IndiaAI Mission by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), is Indias flagship platform to accelerate AI adoption and workforce transformation. The Summit will convene global leaders to shape a future where AI benefits every citizen. Magic Buss pre-summit series plays a vital role by channelling employer insights and workforce readiness strategies into national deliberations. Arun Nalavadi, Chief of Programmes Livelihood, Magic Bus India Foundation , said , "At Magic Bus, our mission is to ensure that youth from underserved communities are not left behind as the world of work evolves. Our AI skilling programmes are built on the belief that access to future-ready skills should not be limited by geography or socio-economic background. Leveraging technology, we combine AI with life and employability skills to deliver impact at scale. By aligning with employers and providing foundational AI literacy, we bridge the gap between aspiration and opportunity, making AI a pathway to sustainable employment." As one of the early movers in the development sector, Magic Bus launched the AI for Masses initiative to equip young people with future-ready skills and enable a smooth transition to the world of work. A flagship programme under this initiative, AIConnect with Work (AI-CWW), is a 710-day intervention for college students and graduates from underserved communities. It builds practical AI awareness and workplace-relevant skills, preparing youth for emerging roles in an AI-driven economy. Last year, 35,000 youth were skilled through AI-CWW, and the programme is on track to reach 1.5 lakh participants this year. By equipping youth with the skills and confidence to make informed career and life choices, the programme empowers them to support their families, break the cycle of poverty, and become role models in their communities.
