We are a not-for-profit founded in 2016 and is on a mission to create access to aspirational careers for students from marginalized communities. We are committed to working on profound transformation for our students so they can hold the same jobs and live the life of similar possibilities as people from the top of the pyramid assume. We imagine an equitable higher education alternative where students learn the right skills, mindsets, and the ability to learn on their own to thrive in the world.
NavGurukul’s flagship Residential program works with learners from underserved communities by providing courses in fields like programming, finance, business, education & design, along with assistance in securing jobs to build aspirational careers. Currently, we are training 1145+ students in our fully funded seven residential centers across various states in India. Six of our seven campuses have only girl students. The focus on gender is a conscious choice, as inclusion is one of the core principles guiding our choices and focus areas. The learning on NavGurukul campuses is driven by self-paced pedagogy with a strong focus on peer learning. So far, we have placed around 830+ students with software jobs in the tech industry with various IT giants and product startups.
Besides the Residential program, we have digital initiatives, such as Meraki, Zuvy and Samyarth.
