Dr. Mahesh Kadam, An Industry Academia Connect Consultant

an Industry Transformation & Workforce Development Consultant

Dr. Mahesh Kadam

For more than two decades, I have been committed to one mission—to bridge the gap between education, skills, and employment by creating meaningful partnerships between academic institutions and industries.

As the Founder of Skilling India, my focus extends far beyond conventional recruitment. I work closely with industries to develop sustainable workforce solutions that improve hiring quality, strengthen employee retention, enhance productivity, and build future-ready organizations.

Throughout my professional journey spanning over 20 years, I have collaborated with industries, educational institutions, government bodies, training organizations, and corporate leaders to design practical workforce strategies that align talent availability with business growth.

I strongly believe that India’s greatest competitive advantage lies in its young workforce. However, this potential can only be realized when education is effectively connected with industry expectations. This belief forms the foundation of the Institute to Industry Connect Initiative, an integrated model developed by Skilling India to create a seamless transition from classroom learning to productive employment.
