The Axis Max Life Udaan Project is a special initiative launched to celebrate 15 years of partnership between Axis Bank and Axis Max Life Insurance. In collaboration with Learning Space Foundation (LSF), this project is designed to empower rural children and youth by nurturing skills that are often beyond the reach of underserved communities.
Udaan reflects the belief that every child, regardless of where they are born, deserves the chance to dream, to learn, and to grow. The program combines early childhood learning support with career guidance and youth skill-building, ensuring that students from rural Maharashtra can maximize their potential and prepare for future opportunities.
Axis Max Life Udaan is a youth-empowerment initiative launched by Axis Max Life (in partnership with Axis Bank and Learning Space Foundation) aimed at nurturing employability and career readiness across Mumbai, Thane and Palghar districts. Through structured career counselling, aptitude assessments, and vocational guidance, it reaches students in about 25 schools and colleges and targets over 300 young people. Additionally, Udaan equips at least 100 young people with essential skills—English communication, computer literacy, soft skills—to bridge the gap between aspiration and opportunity. Employees of Axis Max Life also engage as mentors and facilitators, sharing expertise via sessions, career fairs, and community outreach.
On Monday, 21st July 2025, the Udaan project was formally launched at Patuck Technical Institute in the presence of representatives from Axis Max Life Insurance Ltd and Learning Space Foundation (LSF). The event was a milestone moment, introducing the vision of Udaan to school leaders, teachers, and students, and generating much enthusiasm for the modules ahead.
Our Mission in Action
To address this, LSF has designed a series of Career Guidance and Skill-Building Modules that provide students with both holistic awareness and practical tools:
Self-Awareness & Identity Building – helping students understand their strengths, values, and uniqueness.
Goal Setting & Decision Making – enabling them to set realistic goals and make informed choices.
Communication & Presentation Skills – building confidence to express ideas clearly and effectively.
Time Management & Discipline – fostering consistency, focus, and productivity.
Digital & Financial Literacy – preparing students for responsible living in a connected world.
Our Vision for the Axis Max Life Udaan Project
We believe that true education is not just about passing exams. It is about empowering students to:
Know themselves (self-awareness).
Chart their own path (goal setting & decision-making).
Express themselves with confidence (communication).
Live with discipline and balance (time management).
Thrive in the real world (digital & financial literacy).
Guided workshop sessions for each module
