We address the economic mobility gap
Research by the World Economic Forum claims that it takes 7 generations for a low-income Indian family to approach the mean income.
Technology is evolving, job roles are shifting, and specialized education is becoming expensive. For a student from an underprivileged background, navigating this maze requires more than just school fees. It requires career clarity, confidence, networks, and sustained guidance .
Short-term interventions are not enough. To break the cycle in a single generation, we need to go the distance.
The Missed-out Middle
India has programs for two groups of underserved children. The top 1–2% are scouted through screening exams and fast-tracked. The bottom half are routed into vocational and skills training. Between them sits a group that nobody has built for. We call them the Missed-out Middle.
Their parents drive autos, work in homes, and stitch garments piece by piece. They go to government and low-cost private schools. They do well, just not exceptionally. They aspire for far more than the paths on offer. That's who Eka serves.
We walk the distance
We identify driven children from government and low-cost private schools, and commit to them for 7-8 years
We curate diverse cohorts representing different castes, religions, and genders to foster deep peer learning and empathy.
Together, we embark on a 3-stage modular journey:
-
Foundation (Class 9-10): Build trust and confidence; gain clarity on career pathways & options; develop strong foundational study skills and academic concepts; communicate confidently in English; build resilience and self-expression, make informed stream choices for PUC/JC
-
Discovery (PUC / Class 11-12): into PUC/JC; strengthen academic performance & competitive exam outcomes; gain real-world exposure through structured summer apprenticeships; secure admission into university
-
Launchpad (Undergrad & Job): Experience internships, "first job" readiness, build networks and financial resilience
