IRVINE, CA — August 5,2025 —EON Reality, the global leader in AI-powered immersive learning, today released a A Strategic Blueprint for India’s Future Workforce: The Economic Multiplier Effect of an Indian National TVET Transformation for a national transformation of India’s vocational training sector. The proposal details the phased deployment of EON Reality’s integrated Skills-to-Jobs-to-Income ecosystem across India’s 15,000+ Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs), with the potential to empower millions of Indian youth and create a future-proof workforce.

The data-driven economic impact analysis, central to the proposal, projects that a one-time catalytic investment of approximately ₹250 Crore (30.17 Million USD) would generate a recurring annual economic contribution of ₹2,725Crore of 3.28 Billion USD). This represents a powerful opportunity for national value creation, with a projected annual Return on Investment (ROI) of approximately 990%.

A Vision Built on a Foundation of Proven, In-Country Validation

This transformative vision is not theoretical; it is grounded in a rigorous, multi-stage validation process conducted with key Indian governmental bodies to ensure the solution is perfectly aligned with the ITI context and national priorities.

• Irrefutable NCERT Precedent: A national-scale Proof of Concept (POC) with the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) provided definitive proof of capability. In this POC, 85 distinguished Indian educators, with no prior XR experience, created 1,187 curriculum-aligned digital assets in an average time of just 16 minutes per lesson. This validated the platform’s scalability, ease of use for non-technical users, and proven multi-language capabilities in Tamil, Hindi, and Sanskrit.
• DGT-NIMI Validation: A subsequent, successful POC with the DGT’s National Instructional Media Institute (NIMI) confirmed the platform’s direct applicability for vocational training, providing the specific framework and feedback for the proposed national rollout strategy.

The Three-Pillar Ecosystem for Economic Transformation

The proposal moves beyond traditional educational technology to introduce an integrated platform designed to produce tangible economic outcomes. It directly addresses the entire learner journey through three interconnected pillars:

• SKILLS (EON-XR Platform): Overcomes the chronic challenge of physical equipment shortages by providing ITI students with immersive, hands-on training in virtual labs, accelerating practical skill acquisition by up to 4x and making high-quality training accessible at scale.
• JOBS (EON Career Compass): Utilizes AI to analyze a student’s verified skills against real-time labor market data, creating personalized learning pathways and connecting them directly to employment opportunities, bridging the gap from education to jobs.
• INCOME (EON Entrepreneur Guide): Delivers a structured, AI-mentored framework that empowers ITI graduates to transform their technical skills into new businesses, fostering a new generation of local innovators, job creators, and contributing to a vibrant SME ecosystem.

“This proposal is for a deep, long-term partnership with India to help realize its demographic dividend,” said Dan Lejerskar, Chairman of EON Reality. “Our Skills-to-Jobs-to-Income ecosystem is a proven model for empowering a nation’s youth. By proposing a co-investment framework where EON Reality covers the vast majority of the program value, we aim to demonstrate our commitment to creating sovereign capabilities and a self-sustaining innovation ecosystem that will drive the vision of an Atmanirbhar Bharat for decades to come.”

Whitepaper: The Economic Multiplier Effect of an Indian National TVET Transformation

A Strategic Blueprint for India’s Future Workforce

Executive Summary

India stands at a critical juncture, possessing the world’s largest youth population—a demographic dividend that holds the key to its economic destiny. To unlock this potential, a paradigm shift in vocational training is imperative. This document presents a conservative impact analysis of a proposed national-scale partnership to deploy the “Skills-to-Jobs-to-Income” Ecosystem across India’s Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs).

The analysis reveals that a strategic, one-time public investment of projects that a one-time catalytic investment of approximately ₹250 Crore (30.17 Million USD) would generate a recurring annual economic contribution of ₹2,725Crore of 3.28 Billion USD). This represents an extraordinary annual Return on Investment (ROI) of approximately 990% and a benefit-cost ratio of nearly 11-to-1.

This whitepaper serves as a blueprint for consideration, demonstrating how a strategic partnership can create a self-sustaining ecosystem that enhances workforce productivity, fosters a new generation of entrepreneurs, and delivers profound strategic value in line with the national vision of an Atmanirbhar Bharat.

1.0 The National Imperative: From Skilling to Economic Value

The Government of India’s strategic focus on initiatives like ‘Skill India’ and ‘Make in India’ underscores a national priority: transforming our youth into a future-proof, economically productive workforce. The proposed national TVET rollout addresses the core challenges of scalability, capital cost for equipment, and the gap between training and employment by implementing an integrated ecosystem designed to deliver tangible economic outcomes at scale.

2.0 Pillars of Economic Impact

The projected economic benefits are analyzed across three distinct but interconnected pillars. All calculations are risk-adjusted and based on conservative assumptions.

Pillar 1: Enhanced Workforce Productivity & Higher Earnings (Jobs)
This pillar measures the direct economic benefit of creating a more skilled and employable workforce, resulting in higher wages and increased industrial productivity.

Pillar 2: New Venture Creation & SME Growth (Income)
This pillar measures the economic value generated by fostering entrepreneurship, creating new AI-powered businesses, and stimulating job growth within this new ecosystem.

Pillar 3: System-Wide Efficiency Gains & Cost Savings (Skills)
This pillar measures the direct cost savings and operational efficiencies generated within the TVET system by leveraging virtual technology and AI.

3.0 Summary of Projected Return on Investment (ROI)

The consolidated financial metrics reveal a compelling case for this strategic partnership, demonstrating an unprecedented potential return on public investment.

4.0 National Value Proposition: A Strategic Investment in India’s Future

Beyond the quantifiable financial returns, this proposed partnership is designed to deliver profound strategic value. This investment would not be merely for a technology platform, but a catalyst for creating a sovereign, self-sustaining innovation ecosystem that will:

• Establish Global Leadership: Position India’s TVET system as the definitive global model for leveraging AI and XR for large-scale workforce development.
• Drive Economic Self-Reliance (Atmanirbhar Bharat): Empower Indian youth to create local, technology-driven solutions for local challenges.
• Create a Future-Proof Workforce: Equip millions of young Indians with the practical, adaptive skills required to thrive in the age of Artificial Intelligence.
• Maximize Public Funds: Offer an unparalleled opportunity for return on public investment by leveraging a strategic co-investment model that unlocks immense private-sector value for a fraction of the cost.
