What is InnovatED?

InnovatED is Teach For India’s national incubator for entrepreneurs from Teach For India - who are looking to build impactful organizations in the education space.

Why InnovatED?

We understand that the first few years of building an organization are challenging – be it creating a value proposition, raising funds or hiring talent.

While Teach For India Fellows come with two years of experience working at the frontlines of the problem - starting an organization requires taking on new roles, developing new capabilities and taking on new challenges.

InnovatED is Teach For India’s initiative to support early-stage education entrepreneurs from Teach For India looking to take their innovations from the project or prototype stage to a sustainable organization.
