Vision

20 million graduates work-ready by 2020

Mission

Develop work-ready graduates for India through a unique, experiential model researched as a project at Harvard Business School

Our Story
Talerang was born with a determined spirit to give every student in India an opportunity to live their dream. The initial hope was to put every student, no matter where they have been born or studied, on the right career path.In her time as Director at Teach for India, our Founder and CEO Shveta Raina spoke to thousands of students across the country. The narrative was startling. They were confused about their career path, worried about following their passion, most of them felt unprepared for entering the work world and had limited practical exposure. They also lacked mentors who could give them trusted and verified advice. Shveta realized the magnitude of the problem and the possibility it had to disillusion the Indian youth and affect India’s economy.
Talerang’s formal research began when Shveta was a student at  Harvard Business School in 2012. She conducted an independent project along with her Professor Das Narayan Das and in partnership with Talerang’s Curriculum Lead (Sinhali Deshpande). Their pilots at some of India’s best colleges found that under 60% of students felt ready to take on a job.  Less than 50% of students had mentors they could seek out. They also spoke to leading CEOs and HR heads at organizations such as the Tata and Birla groups, only to find that companies were equally worried about the work-readiness crisis.This had become more than just a research project. It had grown into a mission.
Talerang was born in 2013 to be a simple, high quality solution to India’s work readiness crisis. Talerang offers career training to students and professionals with the purpose of creating a work-ready India. Our focus is helping candidates to know themselves, then prepare themselves (hard and soft skills) and eventually learn the art of proving themselves in the field they choose. In 2016, we visited several colleges in smaller towns across Andhra Pradesh in partnership with a Harvard-Stanford research team. We gained new insights and  decided to go online, with the hope to reach ambitious students at every college across the nation and get them to their dream careers. We announced the launch of our platform, Talerang Online in 2018.

Modeled on global best-practices

Talerang’s programs are different from regular trainings and courses due to the international approach to learning and the international curriculum. During the research at Harvard Business School, we interacted with Year UP, a U.S. based organization solving a similar problem. We further refined our learnings by visiting 100+ colleges and partnering with 250+ corporates who defined our training curriculum.

Our research shows that 6 key competencies - self-awareness, life vision, communication, working smart, first impressions and bridge to career help young talent succeed. Additionally, jobs of the future require a combination of 14 skills including research, analytics, digital marketing, finance, strategy, coding, communication and design. We ensure that you are learning in a planned and structured manner with a focus on being relevant for jobs of the future.

Proven track record

Talerang gets applications from close to 100+ premier colleges across India and has several rounds of selection. Our highly selective cohorts are academically bright, have demonstrated leadership and volunteered to impact their communities. Our previous students are articulate all-rounders including national level swimmers, debaters, festival organizers, entrepreneurs and performers. Over 4 years, we have placed 99% of our students and our proud that over 90% of them have been consistently rated as work-ready, with over 50% been given call-back offers for full-time jobs! The jobs and internships we provide are premium with a focus on quality.

As special projects, we have been invited by research teams from Stanford and Harvard to conduct trainings on their behalf and also been the organization of choice for pre-placement training for IIT Bombay, IIT Roorkee and IIT Madras in an official capacity. From Tata Trusts to Trilegal, various corporates have also invited us to on-board their entry-level hires.
