Rooted in Rajasthan, Reaching Across India

Connect Signal was founded in 2014 in Jaipur with a single conviction: that rural India holds the creativity, resilience, and potential to drive its own growth — it just needs the right connections and systems.

We work at the intersection of skill development, rural enterprise, women empowerment, and CSR implementation — creating transparent, sustainable pathways from village communities to national markets.

Till date we have worked with BOSCH India Ltd, Hyundai India, Ministry of Textiles, IIS University, NIFT Jodhpur, Poornima University, and CSR BOX.

Mamta, a Class 8 pass from a farming family, had no income opportunities beyond household work. She enrolled in a Bosch Foundation-supported tailoring training program in her village, learning stitching skills that she began applying from home. Starting by stitching for her own family, she gradually built a client base from nearby areas. She now earns ₹8,000 per month through tailoring — contributing financially alongside her father and achieving self-reliance and confidence from her own home.

Monika, a B.A. graduate from a farming family, was unemployed after completing her education. She enrolled in a Bosch-supported sewing training program run by Connect Signal NGO at her village community center, where she gained hands-on skills in stitching, cutting, and finishing on industrial machines. Her dedication led to a placement opportunity at the center itself. She now earns a monthly income of ₹3,000, transitioning from an unemployed graduate to a self-reliant earning member of her family — demonstrating how targeted skill training can drive financial independence for rural women.
