HARNESSING INDIA’S ‘GENIUS DIVIDEND’
THE TRANSFORMATIVE MIRACLE
The collective narrative of the progress of humankind has been shaped by the outliers - scientists, artists, sportspersons, and leaders, who have redefined the trajectory of positive progress.
Today, the imperative rests upon us to espouse the cause of such highly able children in India, poised to spearhead monumental advancements in our collective future. Catalysing their growth is not only essential, but critical for an equitable future.

Over 31% of India's population of 1.4 billion is estimated to be under 18—the highest in the world today.
Potential

Progress
When empowered to achieve their true potential, they can be the harbingers of positive change that will feed this virtuous cycle.
