Navneet Gupta, the founder of HSIM, revealed the institute’s ambition to train 100,000 digital entrepreneurs by 2030.
The Karnal-based institution, having instructed over 1,000 learners in eight years, declared its 2030 ambition during its inaugural Digital Business Summit.
A person does not need to move to Delhi or Bangalore to build a digital business. Karnal can be that base, and so can a hundred cities like it.”— Navneet Kumar GuptaKARNAL, HARYANA, INDIA, July 26, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — HSIM, a digital skilling institute based in Karnal, Haryana, observed eight years of activity by hosting its first Digital Business Summit on 18 July 2026 at Vivaan, Karnal. During the event, the organization revealed its aim to educate 100,000 digital entrepreneurs across India by 2030.
Established in 2018, HSIM has provided training to more than 1,000 students in digital marketing, search, and online business operations. Alumni have entered salaried positions, built independent freelance practices, and in several cases incorporated their own companies. The 2030 target signifies a hundred-fold expansion of that base and broadens the institute’s influence beyond Haryana to learners throughout India.
The summit featured 11 speakers from across India’s digital economy and attracted over 150 attendees from Karnal, Panipat, Yamunanagar, and surrounding districts. Sessions addressed artificial intelligence in content and search, marketing automation, lead generation, affiliate marketing, and domain investing.
"For eight years our work has been measured one student at a time. The 2030 target changes the unit of measurement, not the method. We want to prove that a person does not need to move to Delhi or Bangalore to build a digital business. Karnal can be that base, and so can a hundred cities like it."
— Navneet Gupta, Founder, HSIM
Speakers at the summit included Satish Kushwaha of Satish K Videos, Kulwant Nagi of AIGrowthSkool, Sourabh Rana of SEORana, Abhishek Jain of Digitofy, Gundeep Singh Grover of Kings Digital, Rajan Chopra of Grimbyte Technologies, Abhishek Sood of Local Sites Pro, Piyush Dimri of Launchigo Media, Jatin Batra of DesigningBrain, Hitesh Wadhwa of Domainofy, and Karnal-based content creator Antim Dhiman. The event was hosted by emcee Mehak Sharma.
The programme began with a formal opening and lamp lighting, followed by consecutive speaker sessions, an interactive question-and-answer segment where attendees posed questions directly to the speakers, and an active networking lunch. The day concluded with a felicitation ceremony where the institute honored its top-performing students for their achievements, alongside the summit speakers. Participants received a printed toolkit containing practical prompts and workflows intended for immediate application.
"Skilling in a smaller city fails for one reason, which is that people learn something and then have nobody to build it with. That is the gap we set out to close. Training creates the skill. The community keeps it alive."
— Navneet Gupta, Founder, HSIM
HSIM has confirmed that the Digital Business Summit will now be held annually, in addition to the institute’s existing monthly industry workshop programme. Details of the 2027 edition are expected to be announced later this year.
