Samsung India has announced the launch of the 2026 edition of Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC), its flagship CSR programme dedicated to equipping young people with industry-relevant skills in artificial intelligence (AI).

The 2026 edition will be implemented in collaboration with the Electronics Sector Skills Council of India (ESSCI) and the Telecom Sector Skill Council (TSSC). Through these collaborations, Samsung aims to train 20,000 young people in AI across 10 states, expanding access to industry-relevant AI education and helping strengthen India’s future AI talent pipeline.

AI is changing how the world works —from healthcare and manufacturing to education and everyday services. As India accelerates its AI ambitions, building a skilled workforce will be essential to help more people harness the power of AI and drive innovation.

Now in its fourth year in India, SIC will provide young people aged 18–25 with hands-on AI training, project-based learning, mentorship, and exposure to real-world applications, preparing them for careers in one of the world’s fastest-growing technology domains.

“AI represents one of the greatest opportunities of our time, and India is uniquely positioned to lead this transformation through the strength of its young talent. Realising that opportunity will require sustained investment in developing the right skills, encouraging innovation and making AI education more accessible to every aspiring learner, regardless of where they come from. At Samsung, we believe technology creates its greatest impact when it empowers people. Through SIC, we are investing in the next generation of AI talent, helping young Indians build the knowledge, confidence and practical experience needed to contribute to India’s innovation journey. As we celebrate 30 years in India, we remain committed to supporting the country’s vision of becoming a global AI leader by nurturing the talent that will shape its future,” said JB Park, President and CEO, Samsung South West Asia.

As Samsung celebrates 30 years in India, the latest edition of SIC reflects the company’s long-term commitment to developing technology talent and supporting India’s emergence as a global hub for AI and innovation. Beyond technical learning, the programme is designed to cultivate problem-solving, critical thinking and collaboration, enabling participants to build practical AI solutions while enhancing their career readiness.

SIC is part of Samsung’s broader commitment to strengthening India’s innovation and skilling ecosystem. Alongside initiatives such as Samsung Solve for Tomorrow, which nurtures young innovators and entrepreneurs, and Samsung DOST, which develops industry-ready talent for sales and technical service roles, Samsung continues to invest in building the skills, capabilities and innovation mindset that will help power India’s AI-driven future.

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the future of work, creating new opportunities across every industry. As demand for AI talent grows, empowering more young women with practical technology skills will be critical to building India’s next generation of innovators.

Across Maharashtra, Samsung Innovation Campus (SIC) is helping make that transition possible by equipping young women with industry-relevant AI skills, hands-on learning and real-world project experience that prepares them for careers in emerging technologies.

Samsung’s flagship future-tech skilling programme has trained more than 26,500 young people across India, including over 1,000 students in Maharashtra, creating greater access to AI education and helping more young women confidently pursue careers in technology.

For Himanshi Sharma, a student at Ramrao Adik Institute of Technology (RAIT), Navi Mumbai, Samsung Innovation Campus became the bridge between classroom learning and the rapidly evolving AI industry.

“I often wondered whether my academic knowledge alone would prepare me for the rapidly evolving AI industry,” she says.

Through hands-on AI training, project-based learning and expert mentorship, Himanshi developed CareerStack AI, an AI-powered Resume Intelligence System that helps job seekers improve their applications through AI-driven insights. She has since secured an internship as an AI & Data Technology Intern at Blue Sapphire, a US-based company, contributing to client-facing and patent-filed projects.

“Instead of viewing AI as just a collection of algorithms, I learned how to build complete solutions for real-world challenges. You don’t need to know everything before you begin. What matters is the willingness to learn, stay curious and keep improving every day,” she says.

For Sunidhishree Prabhakaran, a Computer Engineering student at DY Patil Ramrao Adik Institute of Technology, the programme strengthened her technical capabilities and confidence to pursue opportunities in AI and data-driven technologies.

After completing Samsung Innovation Campus, she secured a placement at Capgemini, demonstrating how industry-aligned skilling can help young women successfully transition from education to employment.

“Samsung Innovation Campus provided me with valuable exposure to Artificial Intelligence through structured training, assignments and expert guidance. The hands-on learning experience strengthened my technical, analytical and presentation skills while helping me apply theoretical concepts to real-world challenges,” she says.

Implemented in collaboration with the Electronics Sector Skills Council of India (ESSCI) and the Telecom Sector Skill Council (TSSC) under the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), Samsung Innovation Campus equips young people with practical skills in Artificial Intelligence and emerging technologies while supporting the vision of Skill India and Digital India.

As Samsung marks 30 years in India, Samsung Innovation Campus is helping expand opportunities for young women to participate in India’s growing AI economy. By combining industry-focused learning with practical experience, the programme is enabling aspiring women technologists to build meaningful careers while contributing to a more inclusive and future-ready digital workforce.

For decades, Sriperumbudur was known for its villages, farmlands and quiet roads. As Tamil Nadu continues to emerge as India’s leading manufacturing hubs, Sriperumbudur is at the centre of this transformation, with thousands of people arriving every day to power the country’s industrial growth.

But beyond the factory gates, another transformation has quietly taken place.

It is a story told not through production numbers or exports, but through fruit shops, tailoring centres, family-run eateries and classrooms. It is the story of women who turned a changing local economy into lasting opportunities for their families—and, in many cases, for others in their communities.

A Cart That Became a Business

Every morning, Arul Selvi arranges fresh fruit outside the shop her family now owns.

Years ago, the business operated from a cart by the roadside. Income was uncertain and every day depended on passing customers.

As manufacturing expanded across Sriperumbudur, so did her customer base.

“The growth of industries in our area has contributed significantly to our business,” she says.

“Employees from Samsung Chennai plant and other factories visit our shop regularly, helping us build a steady customer base.”

Today, alongside her husband’s water-can supply business, the family earns enough to educate all three of their children—an aspiration that once seemed out of reach.

One Tailoring Shop. Three Businesses.

A few kilometres away, the rhythmic sound of sewing machines fills Veni’s tailoring centre.

When she started her shop 12 years ago, customers were few. As the region developed into a major manufacturing hub, demand steadily increased.

“Many employees from Samsung Chennai Plant regularly visit my shop, and women from nearby communities are among my regular customers,” she says.

What began as a small tailoring unit has grown into an Aari embroidery centre and a beauty parlour, creating employment for three women.

“I started this business with my mother’s support,” she says. “Today, it feels rewarding to see it creating opportunities for others too.”

Meals That Support Ten Families

For Daisy Rani, progress can be counted in the number of people working in her kitchen.

When she opened her small eatery nearly a decade ago, she employed just one person.

Today, ten people earn their livelihood there.

“Many workers from the plants nearby and people from the surrounding community visit us every day,” she says. “Their continued support has helped our business grow steadily.”

The Opportunity One Generation Missed

Industrial growth has transformed livelihoods, but it has also changed something even more fundamental—access to education.

When Gowri was growing up, the nearest school was too far away for her family to continue her education.

“I wanted to study further, but my parents were worried because the school was too far away,” she recalls. “I had to stop my education.”

Determined that her children would have different opportunities, she watched Sriperumbudur change around her.

Today, her son and daughter attend a good school just three kilometres from home.

“Factories coming here brought development. My children have opportunities I never had.”

Dreaming Bigger

That transformation in Tamil Nadu is perhaps best reflected in the aspirations of the next generation.

Kowsalya, a Class XII student, dreams of becoming financially independent while pursuing her passion for drawing.

“My parents often tell me how difficult education was when they were young,” she says. “Today, school is close to home, and I want to continue studying and build a career of my own.”

Her ambitions reflect the confidence of a generation growing up in a region transformed by opportunity.

Thirty Years of Growing with India

As Samsung celebrates 30 years in India, the company’s journey has been defined by long-term investments in manufacturing, innovation and people of Tamil Nadu.

For nearly two decades, Samsung’s manufacturing facility in Sriperumbudur has been part of the region’s remarkable transformation. While the factory produces millions of products for consumers in India and around the world, its impact extends far beyond the production line.

The presence of a thriving manufacturing ecosystem in Chennai has helped local businesses grow, enabled women entrepreneurs to build sustainable livelihoods, strengthened household incomes and expanded opportunities for the next generation.

Like thousands of women across Chennai’s manufacturing belt, the stories of Arul Selvi, Veni, Daisy Rani, Gowri and Kowsalya reflect this broader transformation. They remind us that the true impact of manufacturing is measured not only in products built or technologies created, but also in lives changed, aspirations realised and communities strengthened.

As Samsung marks three decades of growing with India, these everyday stories stand as a powerful reminder that lasting progress extends well beyond the factory gates—and that some of the company’s most meaningful contributions are reflected in the people and communities growing alongside it.

Samsung India today announced the Top 100 teams selected for the fifth edition of Samsung Solve for Tomorrow, the company’s flagship innovation programme that empowers young people to build technology-driven solutions for real-world challenges.

Marking the fifth edition of its flagship CSR programme Samsung Solve for Tomorrow, Samsung India has taken its Design Thinking Workshops to 135 cities across the country, creating one of India’s largest grassroots innovation platforms for young people.

Samsung Solve for Tomorrow is a nationwide innovation and education competition that empowers young people aged 14–22 to identify pressing challenges in their communities and develop technology-based solutions through design thinking, mentorship and incubation. Over the years, the programme has evolved into a launchpad for India’s next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs and social changemakers.

This year, Samsung conducted 184 Design Thinking Workshops, reaching thousands of students across schools, colleges and universities — from Jammu & Kashmir to Tamil Nadu and Gujarat to Tripura. The workshops introduced participants to human-centered design thinking, enabling them to understand real-world problems before building technology-led solutions with meaningful social impact.

With the Design Thinking Workshops now concluded, Samsung Solve for Tomorrow enters its next phase, where the top 100 teams will be selected based on the ideas submitted by participants before progressing through mentorship, expert guidance and further evaluation.

“Every breakthrough starts by listening, observing and asking the right questions. Through Samsung Solve for Tomorrow, we are helping young people across India develop that mindset by combining design thinking with technology to solve challenges that matter in their own communities. As we mark the fifth year of the programme, it is inspiring to see innovative ideas emerge from every corner of the country. We believe the next generation of entrepreneurs and technology leaders can come from anywhere, and Samsung is proud to help them turn their ideas into real-world impact,” said SP Chun, Corporate Vice President, Samsung Southwest Asia.

The diversity of ideas shared by students reflected the diversity of India itself. Working through structured design thinking exercises, students learned to observe, empathise, define challenges, ideate and prototype solutions aligned with the programme’s four themes —AI Living for India, Health & Education, Environmental Sustainability, and Sport & Tech.

Students proposed AI-powered civic governance platforms, intelligent food quality scanners, assistive technologies for people with disabilities, portable solar-powered refrigeration for rural communities, real-time river water quality monitoring systems, and digital platforms that make sports coaching and equipment more accessible.

In Hyderabad, engineering student A. Sharanya Rao developed the concept for a real-time river water quality monitoring system after observing the hidden dangers posed by microscopic pollutants. “The real danger in our rivers isn’t the plastic we can see; it’s the microscopic pollutants that stay hidden until the damage is already done,” she said.

In Ahmedabad, Class IX student Saanvi Nair designed a portable solar-powered refrigerator to address food and water storage challenges in rural communities. “Workers and farmers in villages often struggle to store grains, water and food,” she said.

Students participating in the Sport & Tech workshop in Gurugram also explored affordable ways to improve access to sports equipment and digital coaching, demonstrating how technology can make sports more inclusive.

As Samsung celebrates 30 years in India, the continued expansion of Samsung Solve for Tomorrow reflects the company’s long-term commitment to nurturing innovation, entrepreneurship and problem-solving among India’s youth.

 The top four teams of Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2026 will receive incubation grants worth INR 2 crore, along with mentorship, prototype development and incubation support from FITT-IIT Delhi, enabling them to transform promising ideas into impactful real-world innovations.

A decade ago, employees at Samsung R&D Institute India-Bangalore (SRI-B) noticed a recurring challenge during visits to government schools in Karnataka. While attendance remained high, many students lacked something fundamental to learning—basic notebooks and stationery.

That observation led to an employee-driven initiative that has since reached more than 2 lakh students across the state. Since 2015, SRI-B has distributed nearly 15 lakh notebooks, with this year’s drive providing 42,819 notebooks to 7,620 students across 195 government schools in Kolar district. More than 100 SRI-B employees volunteered in this year’s initiative, visiting schools to distribute notebooks and interact with students.

“At SRI-B, innovation and education go hand in hand. As engineers and innovators, we understand the transformative power of learning. A notebook may appear simple, but for a child it represents opportunity, confidence and the freedom to dream. Through this initiative, we hope to empower students with the resources they need to write their own success stories and build a brighter future,” said Mohan Rao Goli, Corporate Vice President and Managing Director, Samsung R&D Institute India-Bangalore.

The notebook donation initiative was launched in 2015 after SRI-B employees, during visits to government schools, found that many students attended classes regularly despite lacking basic learning materials such as notebooks and stationery. What began as a small employee-led effort has since grown into one of SRI-B’s longest-running community initiatives.

Over the years, SRI-B has expanded its support for government schools beyond notebooks. The institute has donated tablets, student desks, flipboards, school kits and RO water filters, while also undertaking infrastructure projects including rebuilding a government school in Kembodi, repainting school buildings and, most recently, refurbishing the Government Higher Primary School in Bodenahalli.

The notebook initiative reflects SRI-B’s long-term commitment to supporting education in communities around its Bengaluru campus. Through employee volunteering and sustained investment in learning resources and school infrastructure, the institute continues to help create better learning environments for students across Karnataka.

India’s young innovators are proactively looking at technology as a tool to solve everyday challenges around them. From a Class 12 student rethinking plastic waste management in Golaghat, Assam, to school students exploring solutions for hearing loss and road accessibility in Gandipet, Hyderabad. The challenges are local, but the impact is scaling nationwide through Samsung Solve for Tomorrow.

As part of its nationwide 100-city rollout, Samsung India conducted its flagship Solve for Tomorrow Design Thinking Workshops at Furkating Senior Secondary School in Golaghat and the Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology (CBIT) in Hyderabad. The workshop inspired 74 students in Assam and 173 students in Hyderabad, bringing together 247 young innovators across these diverse geographies.

The workshops introduced participants to human-centred innovation framework, equipping them with practical tools to identify grassroots challenges, understand user needs, and develop technology-led solutions with meaningful social impact. This initiative encourages youth to pioneer scalable innovations across four core pillars: AI for a Better Tomorrow, Health & Education, Environmental Sustainability, and Sport-Tech.

At Furkating Senior Secondary School, 16-year-old Jafrein Rahman applied the design thinking framework to this community’s waste problem. “Plastic becomes difficult to recycle when different types are mixed together at the point of disposal,” he said. To solve this, Jafrein conceptualized smart waste bins integrated with sensors and QR code-based guidance systems to drive proper segregation at the source, ultimately reducing the volume of waste reaching landfills and local water bodies.

At CBIT Hyderabad, the workshop inspired 14-year-old A.K. Ashritha to focus her attention on hearing health. In the same cohort, 13-year-old students T. Nithya and T. Sreelaasya examined the daily mobility challenges faced by visually impaired individuals, senior citizens, and people with limited mobility, exploring intuitive tech-driven interventions to make road crossings safer and more accessible.

For these students, the workshops provided a structured pathway for innovation, transforming everyday observations into scalable solutions that address local needs while creating broader social impact.

As Samsung marks 30 years in India, the expansion of Solve for Tomorrow to 100 cities this year, having already engaged over 2,500 students through its Design Thinking Workshops, reflects its continued investment in youth-led innovation and its commitment to advancing Atmanirbhar Bharat, Skill India, Digital India and Startup India.

Applications for Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2026 are open until July 3, 2026. The top four winning teams will receive incubation grants worth ₹2 crore, along with mentorship and prototyping support through FITT, IIT Delhi.

As Hyderabad continues to evolve as a leading technology hub, the city is also navigating the challenges of rapid urbanisation, including river pollution and growing volumes of urban waste. Addressing these issues requires innovative thinking, local insights and a generation of young changemakers equipped to design solutions with lasting social impact.

To nurture this mindset, Samsung India hosted a specialized Design Thinking Workshop for 236 students at the Sreenidhi Institute of Engineering & Technology, Hyderabad, under the fifth edition of its flagship Samsung Solve for Tomorrow initiative. The session introduced participants to human-centric Design Thinking principles, empowering them to deeply understand community needs, identify local challenges, and engineer purpose-driven, technology-led solutions.

The workshop is part of Samsung Solve for Tomorrow’s nationwide outreach across 100 cities in 2026. The programme encourages young innovators aged 14–22 to transform grassroots observations into scalable ideas across themes including AI, healthcare, education, sustainability and sport-tech.

Drawing inspiration from the challenges already existing around them, students in Hyderabad shifted their focus to the city’s rivers. “The real danger in our rivers isn’t the plastic we can see; it’s the microscopic pollutants that stay hidden until the damage is already done,” said A. Sharanya Rao, a third-year Electronics and Communication Engineering student at Sreenidhi Institute of Engineering & Technology. Her solution monitors water quality in real time, automatically alerting authorities the moment contamination crosses safe limits.

At the same time, in order target municipal waste management, fourth-year student V. Jyoshna engineered an intelligent dustbin that automatically segregates waste at the point of discard. She pointed that recycling often fails the moment food, plastic, and paper go into a single bin together, and by automating segregation right at the start, her team aims to drastically improve urban recycling rates.

As Samsung marks 30 years in India, the massive expansion of Solve for Tomorrow highlights the company’s position as a definitive leader in youth development. By nurturing entrepreneurial talent, this purpose-driven initiative directly partners in India’s growth story, contributing to national priorities like Atmanirbhar Bharat, Skill India, Digital India, and Startup India.

Samsung India brought its flagship Solve for Tomorrow Design Thinking Workshop to Bokaro, where 450 students from Chinmaya Vidyalaya learnt how to apply human-centred design to everyday problems, developing technology-led ideas to improve accessibility and civic services.

Held as part of Samsung’s nationwide 100-city outreach, the workshop encouraged students to begin with empathy—understanding the people affected by a problem before designing a solution. Participants explored how observation, research and design thinking can transform local challenges into scalable innovations.

One of the ideas came from Class 10 student Aditya Narayan Singh, who conceptualised a wearable assistive device to help visually impaired people navigate safely. Inspired by the difficulties faced on crowded streets and uneven roads in Bokaro, the concept uses sensors to detect obstacles and alerts users through audio prompts or vibration.

Another student team proposed CivicBin, an AI-powered platform that enables citizens to report civic issues such as damaged roads and water leakages. Using image recognition and natural language processing, the platform automatically routes complaints to the relevant civic department while providing real-time updates on their resolution.

Samsung Solve for Tomorrow is the company’s flagship innovation and education programme for young people aged 14–22 years. Through Design Thinking Workshops being conducted across Bharat, Samsung is equipping students with innovation and entrepreneurial skills while encouraging them to develop solutions under four themes—AI for a Better Tomorrow, Health & Education, Environmental Sustainability and Sport-Tech.

As Samsung marks 30 years in India, the programme is being expanded across the country to strengthen grassroots innovation and ensure that young people from every region have access to the tools and mindset needed to solve real-world challenges.
