Initiative embeds real-world technology learning into school systems, supporting workforce readiness and long-term capability
Get Set Learn, an Arvind Mafatlal Group company focused on future-skills education, today announced a strategic collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and Arduino, provider of a leading open-source electronics platform, to strengthen AI, electronics, and emerging technology education for K–12 learners in India.
As artificial intelligence rapidly evolves beyond the cloud and into real-world physical systems, powering robotics, automation, sensing, and intelligent decision-making, equipping students with the ability to build and apply these technologies has become essential for future workforce readiness and national competitiveness. Through this collaboration, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., Arduino, and Get Set Learn will bring Physical AI learning and future-ready curriculum into India’s K–12 education ecosystem.
The collaboration aims to make advanced technology more accessible, practical, and buildable in real classrooms. By combining Arduino’s open, developer-trusted hardware and toolchains with Qualcomm Technologies’ energy-efficient on-device and edge AI capabilities, students will gain hands-on experience in designing and building intelligent physical systems that can operate reliably, even in low-connectivity and resource-constrained environments common across India.
Under the collaboration, Get Set Learn, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. and Arduino intend to:
Design and deploy classroom-ready learning pathways that integrate electronics, coding, robotics and artificial intelligence to measurable outcomes from grades K 12.
On-device, edge AI experiences where learners design, deploy, and iterate physical systems locally, minimizing cloud dependence while improving responsiveness, privacy, and cost efficiency.
Support the transformation of ATL and STEAM labs into structured, certification-led learning spaces aligned with future skills and life skills development
Implementation at scale through Get Set Learn’s national school partnerships and content ecosystem, ensuring consistent, classroom level level impact across public and private education systems.
Built for India, Aligned to Global Standards
The initiative embraces open, widely adopted global standards and toolchains so schools can invest with confidence. By focusing on physical computing with on-device AI, programs remain resilient to connectivity variability, reduce recurring costs, and teach the architectural fundamentals engineers use to ship real products- sensing, actuation, control loops, and local inference.
From First Principles to Real-World Impact
Students progress from fundamentals to deployable systems: reading sensors, controlling actuators, implementing feedback and safety, and integrating perception tasks like vision and audio. The result is a portfolio of practical builds and certifications that map to higher education and entry-level industry pathways, building confidence and capability early.
As the implementation partner, Get Set Learn will lead on-ground implementation through its content ecosystem and school partnerships, ensuring that global technology platforms are translated into consistent, classroom-level impact. The initiative aligns with national priorities around digital literacy, innovation and workforce readiness, and reflects Get Set Learn’s focus on delivering future skills at scale.
Savi Soin, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Senior Vice President & President, Qualcomm India, commented “India’s AI future will be built on locally deployed, energy-efficient physical intelligence, and that essential journey must begin in our classrooms today. Through our partnership with Get Set Learn, we are placing edge AI directly into students’ hands through accessible, standards-aligned platforms, thereby empowering the next generation of builders to tackle real-world challenges right where the data and people are.”
“For India, the question is no longer whether we will participate in the AI era, but whether we will shape it with depth, capability, and responsibility,” said Priyavrata Mafatlal, Vice-Chairman, Arvind Mafatlal Group and Founder of Get Set Learn. “The partnership creates a practical platform that complements classroom learning by giving students exposure to future skills through building real systems and engaging with real-world problems. If we want a resilient innovation economy, we must start by building confidence and competence in classrooms- early, locally, and at scale.”
“Get Set Learn’s mission is to ensure that future skills are not limited to a few classrooms, but reach learners across geographies and school systems,” said Ameet Zaverii, CEO & Co-founder, Get Set Learn. “By working with Qualcomm Technologies and Arduino, we are bringing together global technology leadership and hands-on learning to create structured, scalable education models that are ready for real classrooms.”
“Arduino has always stood for accessible innovation,” said Fabio Violante, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Vice President & General Manager, Arduino, “Together with Qualcomm Technologies and Get Set Learn, we’re scaling Physical AI education so every learner can build, test, and deploy intelligent systems, from first prototypes in school to real solutions in their communities.”
Further details on implementation and scale will be shared at the February 2026 AI Summit, marking the next phase of the collaboration to strengthen AI and future-skills education in India.
