The Acumen India Fellows Program is a one-year, fully-funded leadership development
program that gives 20 individuals from across India the training they need to
accelerate their social impact and leadership potential. Fellows come from
diverse cultural, geographic, and socioeconomic backgrounds and share
a commitment to ending poverty in their communities. Fellows remain in
their jobs over the year and meet for five week-long seminars where they receive
world-class financial and operational skills training. Through the program,
Fellows build strong networks of social change leaders within their cohort and
Acumen's global community. Ideal applicants will be: individuals who are working
to end poverty in their community through some kind of social change project;
or entrepreneurs who have started their own organization, or individuals
who are influencing change within an existing organization; come from of
all age groups and education levels, but must be able to fully participate in a
program that is conducted in English; must be from India and must show
a demonstrated commitment and concrete connection to India; must
demonstrate strong personal integrity, unrelenting perseverance, and moral
imagination; and must be ready and willing to undergo an intensive year-long
personal transformation and leadership journey. Acumen also operates similar
Fellows programs in Pakistan and East Africa (Kenya, Rwanda, South
Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda). See the website for full details and
application deadlines which vary.
