The Urban Fight, a T-Hub incubated startup which runs a popular YouTube channel under the same brand, has come up with a unique digital initiative of ‘21 Days 21 Careers’ to help decide the best career opportunities that are available for the students who are currently staying at their homes due to the ongoing lockdown in the country.

Due to the Corona Virus outbreak, India had gone into the 21 days lockdown that will end on April 14, 2020. Given the magnitude of the deadly virus and to contain further spread of the virus, the Prime Minister of India Mr Narendra Modi requested all the fellow citizens to confine to their homes as a preventive measure that can save our country. Hence, the life of the people has come to a standstill.
Speaking on the digital career guidance program, Mr. Sugandh Rakha, Co-Founder, The Urban Fight said, “We have been inspired by the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s message to the nation to stay home for 21 days to fight against the deadly Corona Virus. As a digital knowledge provider, we immediately ideated this programme and started providing knowledge on 21 careers in 21 days to leverage the free time to learn about the best career opportunities that are available out thereâ€ÂÂ.ÂÂÂ
