STORIES OF A BETTER WORLD

"The consulting opportunity I had through the Better World Initiative has enabled me to learn about the social sector and leverage my knowledge and experience in LSS and design thinking to contribute to problem-solving. It has been an amazing journey to grow and excel in the Better World Initiative residency program."

Sachin Anand Better World Initiative resident, 2021

"The Better World Initiative is an ecosystem that provides opportunities to learn, reflect, and grow. Every step of the journey is carefully designed with theoretical exposures, learning by doing, and continuous coaching support to create a positive impact."

Sujan Singha Better World Initiative resident, 2021

"The Better World Initiative residents mapped complicated government processes in a disciplined, rigorous way. They came up with simple, no-cost solutions to simplify processes so that teachers focus more on children and their learning rather than administrative aspects."

Aditya Natraj Founder and director, Kaivalya Education Foundation

"Better World Initiative residents worked under many constraints in the education system. They have equipped our staff with modules so that they don't have to reinvent the wheel every time. When we talk to other people, we say that this is what great partnerships look like."
