Maharashtra will pilot an artificial intelligence (AI)-based digital platform to connect job seekers with industries in Mumbai Suburban and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar districts, state Skill Development Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha said on Wednesday.

The initiative, called the ‘Blue Dot AI Economy’, aims to match candidates’ skills with the workforce requirements of industries, particularly micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), to streamline recruitment and improve employment opportunities.
