Divya Jain's Safeducate has trained around 50,000 people in logistics and supply chain management

Divya Jain left her family-run business Safexpress to launch Safeducate in 2013, identifying a massive skills gap in India's logistics sector. Now clocking Rs 30 crore in annual turnover, Safeducate has trained approximately 50,000 people across 153 centres in India, including locations in Allahabad, Chapra, Madnapur, and Deogarh. The Delhi-based company operates through two business verticals — government and non-government. The government vertical builds long-term relationships with agencies aligned to Central and State government missions, while the non-government vertical engages multiple audiences for training and upskilling. Safeducate offers entry-level courses funded through CSR and Central government programmes, as well as management trainee modules costing Rs 30,000 to Rs 50,000 depending on duration. The organization employs around 60 'mobilisers' who provide training in villages, connecting with District Magistrates and self-help groups to reach rural youth. In a landmark achievement, Safeducate's Container School — built from recycled shipping containers — was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 15, 2015, becoming one of India's first such institutions. Embracing technology, Safeducate launched an AI-powered job portal where youth can upload profiles and get matched with employers through an AI engine, complete with video interviews and instant offer letters. The company also introduced 'Car-O-Job,' which transforms vans into virtual reality (VR) experiential centres, giving students VR glimpses of different jobs in retail, manufacturing and warehousing. Since its inception, Car-O-Job has covered five locations and reached nearly five lakh youths. According to the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), the logistics sector needs 20 million trained people by 2022, highlighting the enormous growth potential for Safeducate. Divya's vision extends beyond just earning daily wages — she wants every truck driver, delivery person, warehouse operator and logistics accountant to envision what more they can achieve through proper training and certification.
