Virtual Forums for Aspirants and Curious Individuals
Ever since its inception a decade ago, the Young India Fellowship has helped young individuals switch career paths meaningfully, explore diverse areas of study and practice, grow further as a working professional, start organizations and create sustainable impact while solving problems at the core of our society, all while belonging to a global community of Fellows.
Through the year, we offer several opportunities for YIF aspirants/applicants and generally curious individuals to learn more about different facets of the Young India Fellowship experience. These include information sessions, workshops and events for you to engage with members of the Ashoka community – Fellows, alums, faculty, staff and the senior leadership. In this section, you will find three different types of event recordings – all of which are designed to help you understand the YIF better and benefit from the resources and knowledge that faculty, alumni and University staff have to offer.
