Tech Mahindra Foundation launches an “All Women” SMART Academy for Healthcare in Mumbai

Tech Mahindra Foundation under its Employability vertical has launched Tech Mahindra SMART Academy for Healthcare in Mumbai. Its third SMART Academy is in association with Auxilium Convent School, Pali Hill, which was conceptualized following the success of the first two healthcare academies in New Delhi and Mohali.

Inspired with Tech Mahindra Foundation’s CSR mandate  of benefiting over 50% women beneficiaries,  the  Mumbai  Academy  is  an  “All  Women” Academy  with  both  the  staff  and student being women. To strengthen  the objectives of SMART Academies for Healthcare, Tech Mahindra Foundation recently launched the #MainBhiHero campaign that aims at creating awareness about the skill-gap of Paramedical Professionals in the country. This All Women SMART Mumbai Academy is a major step ahead in this direction.

Inaugurating  the  new Academy  in Mumbai,  Mr. Anand  G. Mahindra  – Chairman,  Mahindra Group, said, “This All Women Healthcare Academy in Mumbai, will open new doors for women and ensure that they get equal access to quality education and career opportunities in the healthcare sector.
