New Delhi, India | 29th December 2025: RuralShores, one of the world’s largest rural digital operations companies and a leading global impact sourcing enterprise, is strengthening its commitment to inclusive growth by leveraging AI-enabled digital operations to create sustainable employment opportunities for rural youth and women across India.
With operations spanning 9 states and over 14 rural delivery centres, RuralShores has trained more than 37,000 rural youth since 2008 and provided direct employment to 22,000+ individuals, while creating significant indirect livelihood opportunities that positively impact families and local communities. The organisation currently serves clients across multiple business verticals and operates in 12 Indian languages, enabling inclusive participation from diverse geographies.
RuralShores’ digitally enabled delivery model combines AI-driven process efficiency, quality assurance, and data security with deep community engagement. Its ISO 27001 and ISAE 3402 certifications underscore its ability to deliver global service standards while operating from remote and semi-urban locations.
Speaking on the role of technology in transforming rural employment, Mr Tarun Singhal, Group CEO, RuralShores Integrated Business, said:
“AI is often seen as a disruptor, but at RuralShores, we see it as a powerful enabler of inclusion. By integrating AI into our digital operations, we are enhancing service quality while creating future-ready jobs for rural youth, especially women, who may otherwise be excluded from the digital economy. Our focus is on empowering talent with skills that are relevant, resilient, and scalable. By empowering rural talent through cutting-edge technology, RuralShores is playing a pivotal role in building a Viksit Bharat where progress reaches every corner of the nation.”
A key pillar of RuralShores’ impact sourcing model is women empowerment, with a growing number of women professionals joining its workforce across rural centres. By enabling employment closer to home, the organisation helps women overcome barriers related to migration, safety, and work-life balance, while fostering financial independence and long-term career growth.
Emphasising the organisation’s purpose-led approach, Mr Shobhit Sharma, Senior Vice President – Branding, Digital Marketing & Communications, RuralShores, said:
“Women empowerment is not a by-product of our model—it is central to it. Through AI-led digital operations and focused employability training, RuralShores is enabling rural women to participate meaningfully in the formal workforce. As we scale across more districts, our goal is to build a strong, credible impact brand that demonstrates how technology, inclusion, and business performance can grow together.”
RuralShores follows a location-specific training approach, collaborating closely with local communities and stakeholders to align skills with real market needs. Its impact is measured through placement outcomes, income improvement, and long-term socio-economic upliftment, reinforcing its belief in opportunities, not charity.
Looking ahead, RuralShores aims to provide sustainable employment to an additional 20,000+ rural youth, with plans to expand operations to 50 rural districts across India, further strengthening rural participation in India’s growing digital economy.
