What is
InnovatED is Teach For India's national platform for incubating entrepreneurs looking to build impactful organisations in education.
Why InnovatED?
We understand that the first few years of building an organisation are challenging – be it creating a value proposition, raising funds or hiring talent.
While Teach For India's Fellows come with the experience of working at the grassroots, starting an organisation requires adapting to new roles, developing new capabilities and taking on new challenges.
InnovatED is Teach For India's initiative to support its Alumni in their early stages as education entrepreneurs. We help entrepreneurs who want to take their innovations from the project or prototype stage to a sustainable organisation.

InnovatED in action
InnovatEd is a nine-month incubation platform that has three primary modes of engagement: physical, virtual, and digital. The physical (in-person) component includes a series of national innovation bootcamps and optional visits from the coach or the InnovatED team; the virtual component includes monthly cohort calls and webinars, and the digital component includes micro-learning videos and our in-house learning platform: InnovatED Insights. Beyond this, InnovatED provides a stipend and coaching support to entrepreneurs.

What is InnovatED's long term vision?
Our vision is to create an interconnected community of education entrepreneurs across India. A community that will learn from and support each other during and beyond the incubation journey. One that creates a new narrative for education in the country.
