Indus Action careers

Organisation description

Indus Action has a mission to enable the disadvantaged gain access to legislated rights sustainably, in India. Our first action is to create a breakthrough in inclusive education. We achieve this in collaboration with progressive state governments and a network of partner and community entrepreneurs. We are led by a world-class team and an international board.

India's Right to Education Section 12(1)(c) law mandates unaided, private schools reserve 25% of their entry grade seats to children belonging to socially or economically disadvantaged families.

Due to this law, more than 11 million families now have a choice of selecting high-quality private schools across India in the next 5 years. However, national seat fill rate is only ~15 percent. Indus Action has, till 2018, enabled 90,000 students in less than 5 years, with 84% fill rate in our areas of operation. By 2020, we aim to enrol 1 million children. We are currently present in 19 states.
