Divya Jain, Founder & CEO, Safeducate wins ASEAN Young Woman Achiever Award

Divya Jain, Founder and CEO of Safeducate, was honored with the prestigious ASEAN Young Woman Achiever Award in 2018, recognizing her outstanding contributions to education, skills development, and women's entrepreneurship across the region. The award, which celebrates young women leaders from ASEAN and partner nations who have made significant impact in their fields, acknowledged Jain's pioneering work in transforming India's logistics workforce through innovative vocational training. At the time of the award, Safeducate had already established itself as a major force in logistics education, operating over 150 training centres across India and having trained tens of thousands of individuals from underserved communities. The recognition was particularly significant because it came from an international platform, validating the universality of Jain's mission — addressing the skills gap in logistics is a challenge shared across South and Southeast Asia. The ASEAN award highlighted several aspects of Jain's work: the innovative container school concept that brings education directly to logistics hubs, the comprehensive training programmes that combine technical knowledge with practical skills, and the social impact of creating employment pathways for disadvantaged youth. Jain's recognition as a young woman achiever also spotlighted the importance of female leadership in traditionally male-dominated sectors like logistics and supply chain management. The award served as a catalyst for increased visibility and partnerships for Safeducate, reinforcing the organization's credibility at both national and international levels and opening doors for expansion of its skills training programmes.
