In June 2022, MP Sharma, deeply concerned about the youth unemployment crisis in India despite its status as the youngest country in the world, decided to take action. Recognizing that traditional education systems often fall short in equipping individuals with the necessary skills for employment, he founded the Bats Foundation.

The Bats Foundation, standing for "Building Abilities Through Skills," aimed to address this gap by focusing on promoting education and skill development among the youth. Sharma envisioned a platform that would not only provide academic knowledge but also practical skills, empowering individuals to become self-reliant and competitive in the job market.

With a clear mission in mind, the Bats Foundation embarked on various initiatives. It established vocational training programs in partnership with industry experts, offering courses in sectors with high demand for skilled workers, such as technology, healthcare, and hospitality. These programs were designed to be accessible to individuals from diverse socio-economic backgrounds, ensuring inclusivity and equal opportunities for all.

Additionally, the Bats Foundation organized workshops, seminars, and mentoring sessions to nurture entrepreneurship and innovation among the youth. Recognizing the importance of soft skills in professional success, the foundation also provided training in communication, teamwork, and leadership.

As the Bats Foundation grew, it garnered support from government agencies, corporate sponsors, and philanthropists who shared Sharma's vision of a skilled and self-reliant youth population. Together, they expanded the reach of the foundation, establishing centers in urban centers as well as rural areas, reaching out to marginalized communities and empowering them with education and training.

Over the years, the Bats Foundation became a beacon of hope for thousands of young Indians, offering them a pathway to a brighter future. Through its relentless efforts, it not only transformed individual lives but also contributed to the overall socio-economic development of the nation, creating a generation of empowered and skilled individuals ready to tackle the challenges of the 21st century job market.
