FROM THE FOUNDERS
For over a decade, our industry — AV, IT, security, automation, building systems — has rewarded us. It has also shown us the same gap every year: bright young people who want to enter this trade, with nowhere to learn it.
We hire by word of mouth. We train on the job. We all complain about the same shortage — and none of us has done much about it. Until now.
We have decided to do something about it.
— Sawan & Sameer, Co-Founders, MCBEE Skills FoundationWHAT WE STAND FOR
We are building India's most comprehensive industry-led training ecosystem for AV, IT, security, automation, and building systems — making world-class skills accessible to underprivileged youth, and giving today's installers the recognition their craft deserves. Within the next decade, every Indian integrator should be able to hire from a recognised national pool of trained, certified professionals.
THE MOMENT WE'RE IN
FORCE ONE
Cognitive work is automating fast. What holds value? The physical, hands-on, real-world skills — installing systems, terminating cables, commissioning at 11pm. That's our trade.
FORCE TWO
62% of India is working-age. Median age: 29. Millions entering the workforce each year without serious technical pathways. Without intervention, our talent shortage gets worse, not better.
