Garima Babbar is a senior education and skills development leader with over two decades of experience in conceptualising and driving large-scale programmes at the intersection of digital skilling, workforce readiness, policy advocacy, and strategic partnerships. She leads high-impact initiatives that connect government priorities, industry demand, and academic institutions to create models for education transformation and employment.

She has worked closely with the Government of India, state governments, national skill development bodies, multilateral institutions, and industry associations to design and implement programmes that advance digital literacy, future-of-work readiness, and creative economy growth. Her engagements span flagship national platforms, ministries, and apex bodies including the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Skills and Entrepreneurship, NITI Aayog, AICTE, NSDC, and CBSE, among others.

She has led transformative programmes focused on integrating digital skills into mainstream education, driving last-mile employability linkages, embedding industry-relevant content on national learning platforms, and building institutional frameworks for scalable skilling at state and national levels. Her work includes securing landmark agreements to skill students and upskill educators, launching creative economy initiatives at the highest policy levels, and localising and scaling global programmes across India and the broader APAC region.

Beyond programme delivery, she has played a pivotal role in building multi-stakeholder ecosystems that bring together government institutions, industry specialists, technology partners, and academic bodies to drive systemic change. She has championed AI skills advocacy across states, supported national digital transformation goals aligned with the National Education Policy, and actively contributed to policy roundtables and international forums representing India's skilling agenda on global platforms.
Her approach combines strategic vision, policy depth, programme execution, and stakeholder management, enabling her to deliver measurable social and economic impact while building long-term institutional value across the education and skills ecosystem.
