The Sage Foundation

In recent years, Banking & Finance has changed a lot. Now, banks focus on building long-term relationships with customers, not just seeing them as people who put in money or take loans. They offer many services and need custom solutions to make more money while keeping customers happy. But finding the right people who can bring in new customers and make existing ones happy is a challenge.

Understanding this change, SAGE Foundation along with Thadomal Shahani Centre for Management has designed a special program that helps blue-collared children understand the banking system in detail, skill them as per the job requirement and enable them secure white-collared jobs.
