Accompanying the OIR Awards is the comprehensive OIR Report that analyzes each outsourcing company’s impact initiatives and highlights how their projects are transforming lives and industries.
Since 2015, Project Genesis has transformed the lives of individuals living in rural areas of India. Putting a strong emphasis on getting students ready for the workforce, the program equips participants with the essential skills needed to excel in the corporate realm.
Programs such as the Principal Conclave, Faculty Development Program, and Skill Development Program helped change the educational experience of students included in Project Genesis, especially first-generation college students.
Project Genesis's goal is to empower underprivileged youth by providing them with employment skills and bridging the digital divide.
The objective was to create a lasting educational setting that addressed the root causes of unemployment in rural India. Through faculty development and curriculum innovation, Project Genesis guarantees lasting advantages for students and educators.
Project Genesis has had a major influence in India, connecting with more than 647,550 people. Its extensive impact can be seen in its inclusive method, which concentrates on student outcomes and educator efficiency.
More than 8,000 educators have participated in the Faculty Development Program, ultimately contributing to the success of over 470,000 students. At the same time, more than 15,000 students received direct training in essential skills, with half of them securing employment following the training.
Furthermore, Project Genesis’ Digital Classroom project has broadened educational prospects for almost 49,000 students residing in rural regions, narrowing the gap in technological access and guaranteeing equitable opportunities for quality education.
The dedicated team at Infosys BPM Ltd leads Project Genesis, ensuring the program's success and sustainability.
The program is constantly developing, blending digital technology with custom curriculum plans to address the needs of students and teachers.
Infosys BPM Ltd's Project Genesis is generating positive ripples throughout India. By collaborating with NGOs, academic institutions, and skilled trainers, it has established a robust educational structure that serves thousands of students every year. The program covers hard and soft skills, getting students ready for the global business landscape.
One notable story comes from a student who struggled with English communication before joining the Student Development Program. Following her involvement in the program, she developed the self-assurance to communicate her thoughts effectively during job interviews.
This serves as a solid example of the significant influence Project Genesis has had on students' lives and future job opportunities.

Now in its second year, the OIR Awards recognize outsourcing companies that have made positive impacts in areas such as community building, education, diversity, and health.
Accompanying the OIR Awards is the comprehensive OIR Report that analyzes each outsourcing company’s impact initiatives and highlights how their projects are transforming lives and industries.
This two-pronged campaign comprises an Outsourcing Impact Awards event, which honors outstanding impact initiatives by outsourcing companies, and an Outsourcing Impact Report, encapsulating the compelling case stories behind these initiatives.
By documenting and acknowledging the far-reaching impacts and corporate social responsibility efforts of outsourcing companies, we aim to foster a broader, more nuanced understanding of the outsourcing landscape and its potential to drive positive change.
