Team Overview

TFIx enables the expansion of Teach For India's mission and impact into India's most marginalized and vulnerable populations, as well as the very last mile. Its mission is to develop leaders who will transform education by reaching children in every corner of India.

Each year, we select Education entrepreneurs from across India, and through incubation, we assist them in designing and launching a contextualized Fellowship similar to Teach For India's model but adapted to their region. During the post-incubation phase, we continue supporting them to strengthen their work and increase their impact through the fellowship, helping to build a movement of local leaders.
