With the launch of the first Tech Mahindra SMART Academy for Healthcare in 2016, the foundation has brought its expertise in skilling to the domain of Healthcare.  Besides the doctors and Nurses, the healthcare industry looks for well - trained healthcare professiols. The healthcare sector is also growing fast and faces a shortage of skilled manpower.  “We want to equip youth from low-income families with skills that will help them begin a career in healthcare. There is a huge gap between demand and supply in the field of Allied Healthcare not just in the city of Delhi but the entire country, and the Academy is a small step in the direction of meeting this demand,” said Loveleen Kacker, CEO Tech Mahindra Foundation.
