The/Nudge Path | Skilling, Innovation & Inclusion

our impact streams

we exist

to enable underprivileged youth to lead flourishing lives

we believe

that the path out of poverty for millions of youth is to help them achieve their full potential

in India, over 180 million youth will enter the workforce in the next 15 years, most of whom are poor, school dropouts or unemployable. we have to significantly increase our investment in them to open the doors of capabilities and opportunities. our response mechanisms prevalent today to bridging this skill deficit is far behind on both quality and scale. to design for this requires building a strong sectoral infrastructure, long-term commitment and impact focus. The/Nudge Centre for Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (CSDE) is India’s first institution dedicated to creating a thriving skilling ecosystem that is able to deliver on the employment aspirations of India’s youth and set them on a path of life-long learning.

to nudge talent to solve for India’s biggest problems

we believe

that now is a great time for the world’s brightest minds to commit to solving humanity’s biggest challenges

the nonprofit sector in India is still embryonic with very few large nonprofit organizations. while the scale of challenges we face today requires top talent, nonprofits sit at the very bottom of the aspiration hierarchy for India’s top entrepreneurial talent. this has resulted in the sector not moving to its fullest potential. with a belief that if we were to solve the most pressing social problems of today in this generation, it will require an entire generation to come forward to take up these challenges, we started N/Core - The/Nudge Centre for Social Innovation to kickstart a new breed of nonprofits, by bringing together top talent, resources and a nurturing environment.

to enable families to come out of extreme poverty

we believe

that extreme poverty can be sustainably addressed through economic inclusion

India has the 2nd largest population of the world’s extreme poor and is home to over 10% of the entire global extreme poor population. people living in extreme poverty are confronted with severe deprivation across multiple dimensions such as lack of any productive assets, shortage of food to eat every day, lack of basic services. Most importantly, they are excluded socially, culturally and geographically. The/Nudge Centre for Rural Development runs an integrated micro-entrepreneurship program, designed along the lines of the globally renowned “Graduation Approach”, to help the extremely poor families achieve sustained incomes over a designated period of time.
