Ride-hailing platform inDrive has launched a major educational initiative to provide free artificial intelligence, coding and digital skills training to more than 750 children across Pakistan. The programme aims to create new learning opportunities for families associated with its driver community.
Announced on November 9, 2026, the initiative is being implemented in partnership with CIRCLE Women Association and Tech Valley. It focuses on preparing young students for emerging careers in technology and the digital economy.
Who Can Join the Free AI Training Programme?
The programme, launched in September, is designed for children of inDrive drivers enrolled in the company’s Platinum and Legend loyalty tiers.
It combines practical classroom instruction with online learning opportunities.
CIRCLE Women Association will provide in-person training to approximately 300 to 320 children aged 8 to 18 in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.
Students will receive access to laptops and participate in three-month courses covering game development, AI-based website creation and application engineering.
Google AI Tools Included in Training
Tech Valley will separately train between 400 and 450 students from grades six to ten through Google Classroom.
The curriculum includes Google’s Be Internet Awesome programme and Gemini Academy.
Students will learn online safety, responsible artificial intelligence usage and effective AI prompting techniques.
Weekly interactive sessions will support their learning.
Why Is This Initiative Important?
inDrive Pakistan Country Manager Awais Saeed said the initiative represents an investment in drivers’ children’s futures.
CIRCLE Women founder Sadaffe Abid emphasized the importance of teaching children to create technology rather than simply consume it.
The programme could help reduce barriers to digital education while encouraging technological creativity among young Pakistanis.
