About Udhyam:

At Udhyam Learning Foundation (Udhyam), our vision is to “Co-create a caring world, where people fearlessly pursue their potential.” 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.

Our programs:

• Udhyam Shiksha works on developing entrepreneurial mindsets among the youth and enabling them to achieve their potential, having impacted ~16,00,000 learners across 10 Indian states.

• Udhyam Vyapaar focuses on nano businesses in India, and solving large problems faced by them, at scale; having already enabled upto a 27% income uplift for 5000+ entrepreneurs.

The goal for Udhyam is to build a thriving and supportive ecosystem, where every individual feels empowered to define their own path.

About Entrepreneurship Projects (Schools):

At Udhyam we believe in the “learning by doing” approach. What better way to build entrepreneurial mindsets than trying entrepreneurship hands on?

We are scaling up an exciting model to enable students to try their hands at entrepreneurship where the students get seed money to develop a business idea into reality. Over the course of this program, the students work in teams, get inputs for coming up with ideas and receive requisite support to develop an idea into a viable business. The businesses also get assessed and the teams can advance to unlock mentorship and more resources.

We are looking for Curriculum Specialists to work closely with the Government education ecosystems to enable them to create and administer Entrepreneurship Mindset Curriculum at scale.

This is an exciting opportunity for anyone who is passionate about student-centred ways of learning and making this change happen at scale in India.
