Digital inclusion

In today’s digitally driven world, a digital divide persists, disproportionately affecting marginalized communities.

We envision a future where everyone, regardless of background, has equal access to digital skills and opportunities. Through collaborative projects across various thematic areas, we aim to empower and uplift marginalized groups, fostering inclusivity and sustainable progress.
 
Our initiatives focus on promoting digital citizenship, providing education through our Digital Academy, leveraging technology for positive change, advocating for environmental sustainability, and serving as thought leaders in bridging the digital gap.

By using the skills and passions of our people, we’re bridging the digital divide to ensure we have a future where technology is an opportunity for everyone.

“DIGITAL IS THE WORLD OF TOMORROW, AND DIGITAL INCLUSION IS ABOUT CREATING ONE WORLD TO AVOID THE SPLIT OF SOCIETY INTO TWO CONFLICTING PARTS”.

Helping society address the impact of the digital revolution

Digital Inclusion is more vital than ever and can determine whether or not an individual is included or excluded in today’s world. As part of our efforts to close the gap, we are engaging in several initiatives designed to teach digital skills to those who need them and create new pathways to careers in tech.

Equipping our communities with digital skills

Our digital literacy programs aim to bridge the digital divide. They provide access to digital tools and devices, teach foundational digital skills to the uninformed and untrained, and inspire young people and women to pursue careers in tech. In India, 3.2mn people have been made digitally literate.

Opening doors to careers in tech through our digital academies

Capgemini in India tackles the digital skills gap with over 55 Digital Academies in India focusing on skilling, upskilling, and enhancing employability for disadvantaged groups. Their program has inclusion at its core, with special batches and programs designed for women and individuals with disabilities.

So far, the Digital Academy program has benefited over 103,000 youth in India; more than 60% of them are women.

Leveraging technology to solve societal challenges

Through our Technology for Positive Futures strategy, we focus on unleashing energies to turn technology and innovation into a driving force of social and sustainable development. From creating impactful tech applications to offering incubation support, we engage our people to develop innovative solutions to social and environmental challenges. Our Tech4Positive Futures initiatives have reached over 1.92 million people in India in 2023.
