Bengaluru leads India in talent and knowledge development
BENGALURU: Neeti Sharma, CEO of TeamLease Digital, highlighted Bengalurus leading position in talent and knowledge development. Bengaluru tops the list in India when it comes to talent and knowledge, with a vast pool emerging from colleges and private organisations, she said. She praised the Government of Karnataka for its proactive initiatives, including programmes such as Nipuna and apprenticeship opportunities at the college level to equip youngsters with industry-ready skills. Neeti Sharma said this while addressing co-panellists during a session at the Skill Summit 2025 session titledKarnataka as a Skills Gateway to the World. She also urged young professionals to embrace continuous learning. Companies today not only seek domain or hard skills but also value the ability to learn and adapt. Unemployability is a bigger challenge than unemployment there are ample opportunities, but a shortage of skilled candidates, she noted. Ferdinand Sehlechta, Head of the India Competence Centre in Dsseldorf, Germany, said the growing demand for skilled workers. Our centre represents over one lakh member companies, and many highlight a shortage of around 50,000 skilled professionals. This number could double in the next decade. Hence, we are working closely with the Government of Karnataka to bridge this gap, he stated. Sheenam Ohrie, Managing Director of Broadridge India, said her company recruits about 20 percent of its employees directly from educational institutions. We collaborate with the IT/BT Department and have founded a Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) consortium to prepare over 1,000 students for the industry. Technology is an enabler, but its domain expertise and soft skills that will shape the world of tomorrow, she said. Thorsten Kiefer, Executive Director of DeFa Agentur GmbH, said the importance of language proficiency for job seekers. Learning foreign languages is crucial, as communication gaps often challenge both candidates and recruiters, he observed. He also advised aspirants to seek scholarships or financial aid instead of depleting their savings when pursuing opportunities abroad. Various institutions in India and overseas offer assistance that can ease financial pressure on families, he added.

Women form majority of BMTC bus users after Karnatakas Shakti scheme boosts ridership by 151%
BENGALURU: For the first time in the history of Bengalurus public transport system, women have become the majority of all BMTC bus users. A new study from Azim Premji University finds that after the launch of the Karnataka governments Shakti scheme which grants free travel on BMTC buses to resident women women ridership surged by 151 per cent. The report Gender, Welfare and Mobility: Impact of Shakti Scheme on BMTC Transport Transformation analysed 2.89 crore trip records from January 2023 to January 2025. It concluded that the scheme has triggered a structural shift in urban mobility, making buses women-majority spaces on several key corridors within the city. The study elaborates that the routes run through the Central Business District, including Majestic, KR Market and Shivajinagar, the economic and administrative core of the city with a high concentration of state institutions, major transit hubs, wholesale markets and commercial enterprises. Free buses outweigh Metro convenience The study also tracked ridership along Metro-connected corridors, including the KR Puram-Whitefield Purple Line extension. After Metro became operational, overall bus ridership on those routes dropped by 25.6 per cent, indicating that many users shifted to the Metro, but women did not. On multiple routes where BMTC and Metro overlap, Shakti users continued to outnumber paying riders, choosing buses over the faster Metro connection. A key blind spot: Migrant women excluded Despite the surge in mobility for women, the schemes benefits are restricted only to those who can prove domicile in Karnataka. The study warns that this leaves out interstate migrant women often garment workers, domestic workers and daily wage earners who depend heavily on public transport but lack the required local documentation. The report states, One ethical imperative should be to expand to include interstate migrant women, who are currently excluded on domicile grounds. Their exclusion, the report argues, weakens the welfare intent of the programme and overlooks its productivity benefits.
