Sanjeev Mansotra’s group to rapidly increase its focus on STEM education solutions to address a growing skills gap

Planet One stated that it has developed a comprehensive STEM transformation model that moves beyond traditional academic models and integrates AI, robotics, mechatronics, IoT, and advanced programming into school systems from an early stage. More importantly, the approach integrates curriculum modernization, structured teacher training and hands-on exposure to emerging technologies —ensuring sustainable and system-wide impact.

The move comes at a crucial time as the countries seek to improve their STEM educational framework to boost its innovation capacity and reshape economic productivity — from smart manufacturing to precision agriculture.

In response, Planet One Group is partnering with governments across Africa to modernize national education ecosystems and equip youth with future-ready skills for the next phase of STEM-led industrialization. Drawing on its experience across multiple countries, Planet One has developed a STEM transformation model that goes beyond isolated lab installations and combines modern academic infrastructure with innovation labs equipped with AI platforms, robotics systems, automation tools, and digital fabrication technologies.

Planet One Group added that it is also supporting the development of a comprehensive STEM education initiative across 20 locations in Guinea. The initiative is designed to integrate advanced laboratories in robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), mechatronics, digital fabrication, and coding within modern academic environments. By aligning curriculum with emerging industry requirements and strengthening teacher capacity, the initiative equips students with future-ready skills, encouraging technological self-reliance, and long-term economic competitiveness for the country.

Mr. Sanjeev Mansotra, Chairman of Planet One said, “African continent is projected to require 23 million STEM graduates by 2030. As nations are moving quickly to build indigenous technological capabilities, Planet One is enabling them strengthening domestic skills in AI systems, smart manufacturing, renewable energy, and digital infrastructure. As aways, Planet One is at the forefront of delivering high impact education solutions which help countries address their national priorities.”

He further added, “To augment our focus towards STEM education, we have recently invested in a leading provider of augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) solutions company in USA. This helps further our objective of offering a scalable, cost-effective alternative to traditional labs, positioning the company for potential large-scale institutional deployments.”
