We believe that entrepreneurship is a powerful way to channelize an individual’s potential. Entrepreneurship enables agency and allows an individual to work on their strengths while creating value for the world.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">About the vertical:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Udhyam Shiksha, the education arm of Udhyam Learning Foundation, is working to ensure that every student attending a government school in India gets an opportunity to learn by doing. We want students to try new things, to experiment, to be self-aware, and to be independent. This is the foundational mindset and can-do attitude we aim to build, alongside the 21st century skills of communication, critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration, recognised globally as the 4Cs. These skills matter more than ever in a world where AI is capable of doing routine tasks. In line with the National Education Policy's emphasis on experiential learning, we enable these mindsets and competencies through real-world experience, rather than through the typical method of rote learning and recall. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Our goal is to work at scale with the system. This is why we partner with state government education departments to run our curriculum as part of a regular subject in the classroom. We develop and iterate our curriculum, build teacher capacity, provide on-ground monitoring and implementation support, and use technology and AI to scale our impact as well. Our current reach has been 4.7M students across 15 states in India - and we want to work towards the audacious idea of making entrepreneurship education accessible in every government school in the country. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">About the role:</span></p><ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:12pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">We are looking to hire a Senior Specialist, Fundraising for the Shiksha vertical - which will entail raising funds from institutional and corporate philanthropy partners to reach millions of students studying in government schools across India. </span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="list-style-type:disc;font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;text-align: justify;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">You will develop proposals, pitch decks, and budgets aligned to the program for diverse funders.
