He further stated that career counselling plays a pivotal role in helping youth discover their interests, align aspirations with real-world possibilities, and take confident steps toward economic independence.
Nitin Orayan, Founder of Learning Space Foundation, stated that the Axis Max Life Udaan program brings timely and tangible support to youth who often fall through the cracks of access and opportunity. He also mentioned that the program is a step towards building a more equitable and empowered society, where semi-urban and rural talent is recognized, nurtured, and given a real chance to thrive.
