During the launch event, Meta announced three significant partnerships, attended by Union Minister for Education, Skill Development & Entrepreneurship Dharmendra Pradhan, and Minister of State for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Rajeev Chandrasekhar.

Letters of intent were exchanged with the National Institute for Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), and the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).

All these three agreements are a step towards creating a future-ready human resource."
