IIT Hyderabad, Rural Development Center
Our founding institution. RDC brings academic rigour, deep knowledge of the villages around Kandi, and the technical faculty who shape what our programmes actually teach.
Next Bharat Venture, a Suzuki Initiative
Our funding partner. Next Bharat Venture backed the model before results existed, and connects our work to a wider ecosystem of enterprise and innovation across rural India.
Deshpande Foundation
Our knowledge partner. Deshpande brings two decades of proven rural skilling practice, trains our Community Resource Persons in Hubli, and shares the playbooks we adapt locally.
A Future Without Postcodes
We Prototype, Propagate and Proliferate
Prototype
We pilot, learn quickly and refine. The first phase builds three to four programmes proven with hundreds of learners before anything scales.
Propagate
Proven programmes are tested at far greater scale, moving from hundreds of learners to thousands across a widening group of institutions.
Proliferate
Working models are handed to universities and public systems, so what began in six villages can shape practice and policy nationally.
