Where Education Meets Opportunity
At MindMints Foundation (MMF), we believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to learn, develop skills, discover their potential and build a meaningful career — irrespective of their social or economic background.
Our purpose is simple:
Established in 2019 as a non-profit registered under Section 8 of the Indian Companies Act, the MindMints Foundation (MMF) is committed to transforming youth empowerment and skill development in India. We create meaningful opportunities for underprivileged youth through targeted skill-building programmes, focusing on developing a highly skilled, market-ready workforce.
Our goal is to enhance employability and contribute to nation-building — driving positive change and fostering inclusive growth.
A skilled, empowered and opportunity-driven generation of young people.
To create an ecosystem where young people have equitable access to education, relevant skills and opportunities that enable them to build meaningful careers, achieve financial independence and contribute positively to society.
Connecting Academia. Industry. Youth.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between education and employment by equipping young people with industry-relevant knowledge, practical skills, professional capabilities and access to career opportunities.
Through collaboration with academia, industry and other stakeholders, we aim to develop a skilled, employable and future-ready youth workforce.
Our purpose is to help young people transform their potential into meaningful possibilities.
We believe that skilling should not end with a certificate.
That is the purpose behind MindMints Foundation.
Our goals translate our purpose into action.
Equip young people with relevant technical, professional and workplace skills.
Create stronger connections between what young people learn and what industries require.
Reach young people who may otherwise have limited access to quality skilling and career opportunities.
Develop young professionals who understand workplace expectations and are prepared to contribute effectively.
Build an attitude of continuous learning, adaptability and professional development.
Help young people move towards sustainable careers, livelihoods and economic independence.
Bring together academia, industry, institutions and communities to create greater opportunities for youth.
The principles that shape every programme, partnership and decision we make.
We do what we said we would do — with candidates, partners and funders alike.
Every young person who walks in is met where they are, without judgement.
Access to skilling should not depend on where someone was born or what they can pay.
We measure ourselves on the livelihood created, not the number of seats filled.
At MindMints Foundation, we believe that the true measure of skilling is not simply what a young person learns — it is what that learning enables them to become. Our programmes are designed around the complete journey from education to employability and employment.
Each part supports the next — a young person moves through all six, not just one.
Industry-relevant learning designed to equip young people with practical and professional skills required by today's employers.
Developing communication, confidence, digital literacy, workplace behaviour, interview readiness and professional capabilities.
Creating opportunities for young people to understand real workplaces through practical learning, workshops and on-the-job training.
Connecting eligible young people with opportunities that enable them to gain practical experience while beginning their professional journey.
Helping learners transition from training to interviews, employment and sustainable career opportunities.
Preparing young people for changing industry requirements through continuous learning, digital capabilities and emerging professional skills.
The Banking, Financial Services & Insurance (BFSI) sector in India, vital to economic growth, is now rapidly evolving due to digitalisation and the information boom, with a strong focus on the customer. This dynamic shift demands continuous skill upgrades from banking and finance professionals. As the sector expands, there is a significant increase in employment opportunities and a growing need for skilled youth to shape its future.

Governance With Purpose
Our Board provides strategic direction, governance and oversight to ensure that MindMints Foundation remains aligned with its mission and creates sustainable social impact.
Chief Executive Officer
Kapil is a first-generation professional turned serial entrepreneur. He started his professional journey in the Food Services and QSR business and spent the first couple of years with giants like KFC and TGIFs, post which he moved into the BFSI domain. He worked with CitiGroup and later on with GE Money in the Credit, Collections and Risk Management verticals in regional and national roles before deciding to start his own venture.
In 2007 Kapil founded Sigma Outsourcing Services Pvt Ltd (SOSPL), which focused on partnering with clients across the BFSI, Retail, Auto and Telecom sectors in providing state-of-the-art solutions on collections and back office operations. Kapil is an innovator by choice and has always applied Business Excellence to new projects and ventures. His focus here is two-fold: giving back to the society and to the industry, both of whom have been instrumental in making him what he is today.
Chief Business Officer
Prashant is an experienced corporate professional and an MBA from Manchester Business School, with over thirty years of leadership experience across sectors including office automation (Xerox India), telecom (Airtel, Virgin Mobile) and business process outsourcing (IBM Daksh / Concentrix), where he led functions such as Customer Service, Technical Support, Quality and Business Development at regional and all-India levels.
He is currently very active in community service with not-for-profit organisations such as the Robin Hood Army and green initiatives. Prashant is extremely passionate about the MindMints vision of playing a meaningful and substantial role in the cause of upskilling the underprivileged youth of India.
Director
Shivani is a seasoned BFSI professional with close to two decades of rich and diverse experience across Business Development, Key Account Management, Operations, CRM and Strategy. She has held key leadership positions with some of the marquee names in the industry — TATA AIA Life Insurance as Zonal Head for North & East, and Standard Chartered Bank as an Associate Director for their TBG business. Shivani has also worked on different corporate portfolios with CitiGroup, and is a post graduate in Management from Symbiosis, Pune, specialising in International Marketing.
Shivani is a consolidator by nature and brings this skill to getting large teams together and providing leadership to exceed expectations, metrics and performance levels. She leads SOSPL operations in the North and also co-drives the growth engine along with Kapil.
Chief Human Resources Officer
Tarun is a seasoned human resources and education-sector professional with over 25 years of diverse leadership experience, spanning human resources, administration, international education, sales and marketing. His professional journey has given him extensive exposure to multicultural and international work environments across India, Egypt, China, Africa and Singapore, including more than a decade in the international education ecosystem with exposure to globally recognised education frameworks such as Pearson, Cambridge and the International Baccalaureate (IB).
A postgraduate in Human Resource Development, Tarun began his career in pharmaceuticals and institutional sales and marketing before transitioning into education, people management and organisational leadership. This combination of commercial experience, education and HR leadership has shaped his strong understanding of how learning, skills, workplace expectations and people development need to come together to create sustainable careers.
As CHRO of MindMints Foundation, Tarun contributes to shaping MMF's people and youth-development strategy, with a particular focus on employability, career readiness, workplace preparedness, mentoring and the transition of young people from education into the professional world. He works towards strengthening the connection between academia, skills and industry expectations, helping ensure that MMF's initiatives develop not only job-ready candidates, but confident, responsible and future-ready young professionals.
His association with MindMints reflects his belief that education creates possibilities, but the right skills, exposure, mentoring and opportunities enable young people to turn those possibilities into meaningful careers and financial independence.

Watch / Learn More →BFSI stands for Banking, Financial Services & Insurance — one of India's fastest-growing sectors. As it digitalises and expands, it needs large numbers of trained young people, which means steady, formal-sector job opportunities.
Our Internship and Apprenticeship programmes are completely free for candidates. You do not need to pay any training or enrolment fee. In fact, eligible candidates receive a stipend during their engagement, whether they join through an internship opportunity or an intensive 12-month Apprenticeship Programme, subject to the applicable programme terms and eligibility criteria.
We also offer scholarship opportunities under our “Learn While You Work” programme for eligible candidates who wish to pursue a vocational qualification alongside practical work experience.
Under this work-embedded learning model, candidates gain hands-on industry experience and attend their vocational or college classes alongside their work schedule, typically during designated evening or weekend days. Eligible candidates may receive scholarship support towards their educational programme, subject to the applicable course, institution, eligibility criteria and scholarship guidelines.
Our objective is simple: to enable young people to learn, earn and build a recognised qualification while gaining real-world work experience.
