Tech Product Lead

About The Company:

Indus Action was founded by Harvard and MIT students committed to bring about a systemic change in India. India’s complex social norms are oftentimes at odds with its collective aspirations. Overcoming such norms requires campaigns/programs that influence behaviors and mindsets. Indus Action’s aspiration is to be a role model policy implementation organization that significantly moves the needle on deep societal attitudes and beliefs.

Indus Action has been campaigning since 2013-14 for raising awareness and effective implementation of Section 12(1)(c) of Right to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 under the project named  ‘Eklavya’. Through project Eklavya, we are working towards the effective implementation of Right to Education (RTE) Section 12(1)(c) which provides 25% free seats to children belonging to disadvantaged and economically weaker sections in all private, unaided schools across India. According to Status of the Nation Report by IIM A, there are over one crore opportunity seats all over India in next five years and nearly 70% of them remain vacant. After successfully supporting 7500 low income families last year we plan to scale our operations and reach out to one lakh families in the low income areas of Delhi. We are also partnering with various organisations in cities like Hyderabad, Bangalore and Pune to pilot a similar campaign in those cities
