Chairperson, Board of Trustees, Ashoka University
There cannot be a greater good for Ashoka Alumni than to give to alma mater. Their education was made possible by the generous giving of others—they have an obligation to pay it forward. Moreover, India needs the few who have a privileged education to help those that don’t have access to one—giving to Ashoka makes that possible. Finally, the great universities of the world got there because of the giving of their alumni—Ashoka’s greatness will depend on how generous our alums are!

As students, you've been the beneficiaries of a generous and philanthropic education. Future generations of students can also receive this education if you give back to Ashoka. The university needs your help and support to make this mission possible!
Ashoka taught me how building a great eco-system can mobilize value. Visionary founders, exemplary faculty, and talented students create an N-square effect on the ecosystem. Giving back to Ashoka will catalyze this further and unlock value for talented individuals getting scholarships and taking risks that symbolizes the true spirit of entrepreneurship and change-makers.
Being a part of YIF was a life-changing decision for me, both professionally and personally. It would be my ultimate joy to see more and more people experience YIF/Ashoka. Giving back is one of the avenues, which lets me fulfill this desire! Glad to play a very small role in this.
What I receive from the fellowship and all those who made it a reality, is boundless. I can only strive to give forward in the same spirit as those from whom I have received... And contribute in my small way so that more and more students get to experience Ashoka's truly inspiring education.
Help fund scholarships for deserving students!
