It is planning to invest Rs 25 lakh in the project, which will be rolled out by June and hope to reach "a few million people". "Given the new telecom policies, this sector is going to grow exponentially in the coming few years. And there will be a huge demand for a people trained in telecom," said Ms Ganesh.
