KCS Foundation is proud to partner with GenRise Labs, an initiative founded by Karam Kandhari, a student at Sevenoaks School (UK), that is helping equip youth in Bihar with practical AI, digital marketing, and entrepreneurial skills. Unlike traditional technology programs that focus solely on classroom learning, GenRise combines skill development with real-world application, enabling students to use tools such as Canva, Generative AI, social media marketing, and digital content creation to support local micro-businesses in their communities.
During his recent visit to Bihar, Karam spent time interacting with students and teachers, reviewing the progress of the curriculum, and learning firsthand about the projects students have been developing. The visit provided an opportunity to monitor the program’s growth, gather feedback, and work alongside students as they applied their skills for real-world impact. Karam also visited local businesses and engaged with project teams to better understand how student-led digital solutions, from product catalogs and promotional materials to social media content and branding support, can create meaningful impact for small enterprises while building students’ confidence and entrepreneurial mindset.
The partnership builds on Karam’s earlier efforts to raise funds for a 20-computer digital learning lab and reflects a shared commitment between KCS Foundation and GenRise Labs to bridge the digital divide through innovation and opportunity. By combining AI literacy, entrepreneurship, and community engagement, this initiative has the potential to become a scalable model for empowering students with skills and confidence while supporting local economic growth. We are excited by the progress already made and look forward to expanding the program to additional schools in the future.
