Mumbai, Feb 4, 2025: Asset reconstruction company Arcil has partnered with FUEL (Friends Union for Energizing Lives) to empower underserved youth by providing access to cutting-edge educational resources and skill development opportunities.
As part of this initiative, Arcil supported the establishment of state-of-the-art computer lab at the FUEL Business School.

Speaking about the initiative, Pallav Mohapatra, MD and CEO of Arcil, emphasized the company's dedication to community development, stating, "Investing in the education and skill development of our youth is a step towards building a stronger, self-reliant future. Through this collaboration with FUEL, we aim to create opportunities for underserved communities and foster an ecosystem of innovation and growth. This partnership underscores Arcil's ongoing efforts to contribute positively to society by empowering the next generation with the skills and resources needed to succeed in a rapidly evolving job market.”
