Speakwell, one of Mumbai‟s leading Spoken English chains, ensured quality training infrastructure and faculty.

The critical part of this value chain which was sourcing of candidates was ensured by the efforts of Congress party workers. Their deep understanding of each of the localities in South Mumbai, their enthusiasm and intent in helping this social change happen and their strong presence at the grassroots level, all together ensured that the most deserving youth and their families were reached out to, counseled and sent to the IndiaSkills centres for training.
