Maxme India - Impact on the Ground - March 2026
Bye March. You were a good one.
If February was a month that brought clarity, we would like to call March a month of connections. With our Founder and CEO, Renata Sguario, in India, we had the opportunity to engage more closely, listen more deeply and understand what the ground truly feels like.
We love doing what we do, and to be honest, a large part of that credit goes to our Indian partners, the ones who are onboarded with us and the potential ones (fingers crossed). In our meetings, the best part has been seeing how people have come to accept the relevance of human skills. There is a growing understanding that technology alone will not bring the development we envision for our country. It is human skills that will remain unparalleled, and institutions across domains, be it schools, corporates, or healthcare entities, need a strong grounding in them!
By now, it might seem like an iteration, but at Maxme, this is our favourite story and we’re not done telling it yet.
A peek into our CEO’s visit to India
This month, Renata Sguario visited the Philippines, Vietnam, and India to meet with partners and conduct sessions that reinforced the importance of human skills. One such session was at Suncity School in Gurugram, with 75 teachers, where key aspects such as emotional resilience and communicating with impact were covered.
At Maxme, we believe that when teachers feel heard and supported, something shifts. They create spaces where students do not just learn, they feel seen.
What March reinforced and looking ahead
‘Marching’ through the month was fun, full of realisations about the need for human skills at scale. What also became clear to us is that in India, teachers are asking better questions, institutions are more open to change and students are looking for direction, not just degrees.
A recent report by Azim Premji University highlights the growing access to higher education and the challenges young people face as they transition from education to employment. The report states that while India’s young workforce is becoming more educated, nearly 40% of graduates under 25 are unemployed. This is not ‘the only’ report that has raised eyebrows.
There are many others that discuss how human skills are becoming paramount. Even global organisations are echoing this. As Forbes recently highlighted, “as AI’s capabilities grow, so does the importance of distinctly human skills that technology cannot easily replicate.”
So we know there is a gap but we also know that conversations around it have started. And we at Maxme are closing that very gap with a tried-and-tested approach that enables schools, universities and organisations to drive measurable, meaningful impact.
April, here we come!
