Our focus area

Mid sized NGOs in the education sector

India’s developmental needs (both immediate and longer term) are significant in terms of scale and complexity – particularly in areas such as education, health and issues pertaining to the environment.
To create impact across India, we need several good NGOs/SEs with new ideas and drive. Novel ideas typically start as small and medium NGOs/SEs. They need help in the initial years to scale up to a size that allows them to survive and create impact.

As an organisation, we decided to focus on mid-sized NGOs in the education sector, with a preference for those working in primary education. As we evolve and gain experience, we may expand our scope to other sectors as well.

what we do for NGOs

Funding + Advice + Awareness

Our entire engagement process is designed to be transparent and professional. We intend to enable the long-term success of the NGOs/SEs with whom we associate. 

• Funding: The funding we provide will be in the nature of a grant. We will not seek any debt or equity  instruments in return for our funding.

• Advice: We can provide Advisory interventions to our selected NGOs based on the professional experience of our founding team members. It may also be via cross-organizational learning among our portfolio of selected NGOs/SEs in areas such as use of technology, brand building, organisational or managerial practices, etc.

• Awareness: We will help to create awareness for the selected NGOs within the limited means at our disposal.

Types of NGOs/SEs

Education Focused

We are open to evaluating any education-focused NGO/SE, which has been in operation for at least 2 years

Uniqueness

We are looking for some track record of impact, and some degree of uniqueness in the nature of the services/solutions they provide.

No Political Affiliation

We would prefer an organisation with no political affiliation.

Social start-ups

Our ultimate goal is to promote social start-ups which hold the most promise in terms of long-term and sustainable impact
