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 - the students get seed money to develop a business idea into reality. Over the course of this program, the students work in teams, get input for coming up with ideas and receive the 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.
To deepen our impact, we are designing a number of online and offline features for the program to improve content delivery, deepen implementation quality and widen mentorship. We are looking for a Specialist for Curriculum who will be a part of the core team of the program and will work closely with Udhyam’s internal teams and government stakeholders to create scalable high-quality learning experiences for students.
