The Challenge

57 people possess as much wealth as the poorest 70 percent of the country and the richest 10 percent in India own 80 percent of its wealth.

The number of women participating in the labor force in India stands at a mere 27% and continues to drop further every year.

76% of children in the country do not have access to higher education.

India is ranked 141 out of 180 countries on the Environmental Performance Index.

The Hope

If the reality of the country lies in these newspaper headlines, the hope lies in the youth of the country. With the current education system failing to give any exposure to these pressing challenges or providing the students with the necessary competencies to solve them, most youth settle for jobs that provide a secure income and nothing more. With the right education, training and support, we believe that these youth can become entrepreneurs with the power to provide meaningful, sustainable and systemic solutions to these pressing challenges.

Would you like to take up this challenge- Be a part of the core team that is building a platform through which youth are equipped to discover, dream, design and develop their own enterprises-
