Download BrochureSee what our previous cohort members are saying
Before joining this program, I lacked direction in entering the impact sector and understanding its inner workings. The program's content and facilitator, Rajat, helped me create a clear 3-year plan and roadmap. Meeting fellow cohort members with similar challenges proved to be a valuable learning experience as we supported each other throughout our journey.
Sharath Srinivas
Currently working as Director of Product Management, Rising Academy Network
I feel more confident about the success of my journey after this program. I lacked a clear understanding of the non-profit sector, the networks to find a good job opportunity & had not narrowed down on my goals. This program forced me to create a vision for myself and helped me narrow down the area to focus on. I have taken up a job opportunity as a senior consultant in a Non-Profit as the first step.
Hima Nandan
Currently working as Principal Specialist - Partnerships & New Solutions at Udhyam Learning Foundation
Before joining this program, I was unaware of the opportunities in the social impact sector, lacking essential information on where to begin. Now, I have a clear path for pursuing my idea and accessing funding, mentorship, and support in my journey. As the program advanced, my ideas crystallized, and I began crafting an action plan.. The program's activities and team support facilitated the progress of every member in pursuing their individual interests.
Shyamala Radhakrishna
Ready to launch her own Agritech enterprise
I feel I lacked a plan and tools to transition to the impact sector. I had long wanted to move to the impact sector but didn’t have a clear understanding of the sector and the jobs. This program helped me get a clear direction for finding my place in the impact sector. I am now confident and have a structured plan to upskill, network and find the right role for myself.
Pranav Varma
Working as a mentor with aikyam fellows labs
I wanted to do something to solve the poor condition of weavers in the North East but I was not sure how to get started. One of the exercises in the program helped me map out my strengths and work on a strategy to partner with a friend to launch my own social enterprise idea. In a small way, I have started taking baby steps towards my desired export venture of Silk and handicrafts of Assam and other Northeast states.
Shivani Tibrewal
Ready to launch her own social enterprise
Before the program, I aimed to learn about and connect with social impact organizations in Education & Legal Literacy. Now, I am more confident and clear in pursuing my desired path, armed with concrete options and a supportive community for feedback and inspiration. The program illuminated various ways to address the issues I'm passionate about.
T P Janani
Ready to spread Legal Literacy in India
I've always wanted to align my career with my passions and values, but I lacked a clear plan. This program gave me the financial guidance I needed to pursue my ideas and connect with impact-focused organizations. Now, I'm consulting with Kheyti, developing my prototype, and working a full-time job. Thanks to this program, I'm exploring ways to contribute to rural development with a supportive community of like-minded individuals.
