Navanit is an industry veteran with over 30 years’ experience having played significant roles in various organisations like GE, Genpact, IBM, Tatas, Reliance etc. He has also been a serial entrepreneur and has dabbled in HiTech, Healthcare retail, Education and Floriculture sectors. He firmly believes the next wave of India’s growth will come from the Skilling industry and that ASTP has a significant role in ensuring the industry gets its much deserved impetus. Navanit is an Engineer from IIT and an MBA from XLRI.

On the appointment, Rajiv Sharma, President, ASTP said ” We are delighted to have Navanit on board to share his insights and expertise to help grow our industry. This is a significant move towards building the association and ensuring we work with the skilling eco-system to achieve the employment goals of the country. With years of corporate and entrepreneurial experience Navanit is well suited to lead the organization at this stage and help us contribute to our employability goals as an Industry body.”

Navanit Samaiyar, the new CEO of ASTP, said, “India today enjoys a demographic advantage with 65% of its youth in the working age group. However, a large percentage of this youth are from smaller towns or not so privileged sections of the society with limited or no employable skills. Therefore, right skilling holds the key to success not just for the youth but for the entire economy, and I am grateful to ASTP for giving me an opportunity to drive the skills training industry at this critical juncture.”

Pritha Dutt, the outgoing CEO added “Our vision of Making Skills Aspirational and Globally Relevant, transforming a billion lives will get a significant boost with Navanit coming on board”
