Niranjan Waghmare founded Vertois Training and Consultancy in 2011 to provide skills training to students from smaller towns and cities in India, as most training programs only targeted major cities. He developed training programs focused on sectors with high attrition like retail and quick service restaurants. The programs combine classroom learning with practical skills and placements. Starting in Pune and Solapur, Vertois has now trained over 120 students, and Waghmare plans to expand the training centers to other cities by 2015 to help address India's large skills gap.
