A Peer Learning Experience Like No Other
Young India Fellows are a group of promising young individuals, selected through a rigorous and elaborate search for passionate achievers with a desire to bring about change. At the YIF, an engineer, a history major, a Kathak dancer, a banker and a journalist, all attend lectures together. This creates an unparalleled peer learning environment rich with multiple perspectives. From tech to design, film to agriculture, medicine to art, and law to media, being amidst diverse peers will enable cross flow of ideas and learning – which will complement and challenge what you learnt in your previous experiences.

Every aspect of the YIF, whether academic, experiential, cultural, or informal, allows you to engage with your diverse set of peers in multiple ways and build a close-knit community. Every year, fellows come together to organize the Friends of YIF Day – an opportunity for you and your peers to showcase your talent to members of the Ashoka community. Fellows also self-organize to learn from each other – from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and becoming a pro at Excel, to learning arts like sculpting and body flow movement.
