EFOS.in: Reimagining Higher Education in India through Learn & Earn

EFOS.in (Education Future One Stop) is a social venture born from a simple but powerful idea: bridge the gap between education and employability by connecting youth to verified, trusted and career-linked opportunities. Founded by Sachin Jain and Dr. Akansha Jain, EFOS.in combines data-driven technology, physical outreach, and partnerships across academia, industry and government to create pathways that turn learning into livelihood.

Founders with a purpose

Sachin Jain brings a rare blend of technical training, industry experience and leadership in education and skilling. His academic background (M.Tech in Communication Systems from IIT Roorkee and a B.Tech in Electronics) and a professional track record directing EP Infoways Pvt. Ltd. form EFOS.in’s pragmatic focus on scalable, tech-enabled solutions for skilling and placements. He has deep experience in designing programs that meet employer needs and in executing outreach models that reach rural and semi-urban candidates.

Dr. Akansha Jain is an education entrepreneur and social impact leader, serving as the Founder of EFOS.in (Education Future One Stop) and Chairperson of the EFOS Foundation. She is dedicated to empowering India’s youth especially from underserved and last-mile communities—by improving access to quality education, skills, employment and verified career opportunities.Through EFOS.in, she has pioneered learn-and-earn pathways that enable students to work while studying, gain practical experience, and achieve financial independence. Over the past three years, EFOS.in has facilitated 50,000+ verified job opportunities for school and college dropouts. 

Learn & Earn — changing the landscape

The flagship Learn & Earn model is where EFOS.in’s philosophy becomes practice. Instead of asking students or families to make up-front financial sacrifices, Learn & Earn blends short-term job-linked training with on-the-job earning opportunities. The program structure typically includes:

• Work-integrated learning: Trainees perform real work while they learn, gaining both income and practical experience. EFOS.in’s hotel management program is a prime example: participants pay only a registration fee, and the rest of the training cost is recovered from their earnings during the program.
• Stipends and job assurance: Courses like the EFOS.in Drone Training Program include stipends and job-assurance components — critical incentives for candidates from low-income or rural backgrounds.
• Employer partnerships: EFOS.in partners with corporates and public stakeholders (for example, state governments) to ensure trainees are hired into meaningful roles. EFOS.in’s collaboration with the Bihar government to train college, diploma and ITI graduates for placement with companies like Tata illustrates this employer-aligned model.
• Local access with national standards: By combining physical mobilization centres with centralized, data-driven quality control, EFOS.in brings city-grade training to small towns and villages without diluting standards.

Why EFOS.in matters now

India’s higher education system is large and diverse — and for many learners, it remains disconnected from labour market realities. EFOS.in’s Learn & Earn model is not a temporary fix; it’s a structural innovation that aligns incentives for students, training providers and employers. By lowering financial barriers, guaranteeing practical experience, and validating outcomes through employer hiring, EFOS.in helps make higher education more equitable and work-focused.

For policymakers and institutions, EFOS.in offers a replicable blueprint: partner with industry early, embed work within learning, use data to monitor outcomes, and meet learners where they live.
