This paper features the case of NSDC, established as a public private partnership between the Government of India and several industry bodies. 51% of equity in this partnership is held by the private sector (represented through a range of industry associations) and 49% of equity is held by the Government of India. The very structure of this partnership with the private sector as the majority stakeholder, emphasizes the important role given to the private sector within such partnerships. NSDC was explicitly created to catalyse private sector support for skills training. It sought to strengthen India’s skills training ecosystem by expanding the capacity and scale of skills training programmes, enhancing the quality and relevance of training programmes, and improving the employability of youth, through formal sector employment or entrepreneurship.
