You know English. Now unmute it.

You studied it for 15 years. You read it, you write it. This is where you finally speak it, out loud, in front of people, every single night.

Not a course. A practice marathon. Only 30 seats per batch.

The problem

It is not your knowledge. It is your voice.

Lakhs of capable graduates in India are still searching for a job, or stuck below the one they deserve. Not because they lack talent or knowledge, but because they freeze when they have to speak: in the interview, the group discussion, the meeting. Most of them know English. They just never got to practise speaking it.

4 in 100

Indian adults say they can speak English fluently. Another 16 speak only a little.

India Human Development Survey
55%

Only about 55 of every 100 Indian graduates were assessed employable in 2025.

India Skills Report 2025

Aspiring Minds study of 30,000 students

So Step Ahead India is bringing UNMUTE. We work on the employability of young graduates from Tier II, Tier III and rural India. UNMUTE unlocks the English you already know and turns it into confident, job-ready communication, through practice, not lectures.

How it works

Not a class. A practice marathon.

No grammar lectures, you already know the rules. What you need is reps. Every night for 30 days you come, you speak, you get feedback. It is only for people who are ready to practise.
