2. Philosophy of Change
As the 21st century India continues to grapple with myriad issues, we believe that a
generation of young leaders is required to tackle these problems .We also believe if we can
create young role models across the country who will lead by example and act as multipliers,
this movement shall sustain itself. We work as a catalyst and facilitate passionate young
individuals nurture the leader within them while providing them exposure, a closely

Lead The Change Model
We aim to build a movement of young
leaders equipped to meet India’s problems
by designing processes to identify young
individuals with a spark to think
innovatively for the larger social good. We
do this by conducting programs where
they get experiential exposure in both
urban and rural space to identify their
passion.
Mission Statement

5. The Project
Lead the Change is a 8 week program which takes 30 passionate
individuals on a rigorous journey to explore themselves inside-out, to
internalise the challenges (under issues like women empowerment &
human trafficking, education, policy etc.) of the country through hands-on
exposure. They hone their leadership skills by learning from role models
and experts in the social development domain and employ design
thinking to undertake a time bound social action. There is a strong focus
on deep self-awareness and starting the process from within.
Beyond the program, we help participants build their social enterprise by
connecting them with mentors and helping them build a team.
