EdIndia foundation

EdIndia Foundation (EF) is a not for profit focused on leveraging technology and data analytics to create innovative solutions to impact education at scale. Edindia believes that technology has a huge potential to impact government schools at scale. In the covid times, while #Edtech has been the buzzword the digital divide between children with access and without has been widening. Acknowledging the fact that frugal but effective innovations are essential so as to ensure #LearningNeverStops and integrate technology within the government system, EdIndia was set up. EdIndias mission is to create tech-based solutions to impact the quality of education at scale”. It is supported by Sterlite Power Group Companies. It is working with ~180,000 govt teachers across Rajasthan, Tripura, Maharashtra and Uttarakhand.

The focus of the Indian education system has been shifting from providing access to schools to ensuring the acquisition of learning outcomes. The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and 10 principles of the UN Global Compact Network have a strong influence on how Sterlite plans and implements its CSR and Sustainability initiatives.

EdIndia views its role as system integrator, keen on designing and rolling out large scale, Pan-India programs. As part of its aggressive scale-up plans EdIndia is expanding its senior management team and is seeking to recruit a Lead: Strategy and Partnership. The proposed role will work centrally in the Foundation with the Head of the Foundation. The role is envisaged keeping in mind the vision to expand strategic partnerships with external stakeholders. This role will also contribute, in substantial measure to the new strategy of creating an independent entity, supplementing the Foundation's financial resources as well as presenting its impact in the eco-system.

EdIndia considers itself a “start-up” at heart and has a young team from backgrounds as diverse as academic, statistics and ex-army passionate about “education for all” and innovation for all.
