The posting

Position: Senior Program Associate

Location: Lucknow

Organisation: The Udaiti Foundation

About The Udaiti Foundation

The Udaiti Foundation is a Delhi-based not-for-profit organisation committed to accelerating Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE) in India. Guided by the belief that unlocking the full economic potential of women is essential to realizing India’s growth ambitions, Udaiti has been incubated by The Convergence Foundation (TCF) by Ashish Dhawan. Udaiti counts Ashoka University, CSF, ILSS, FED, AIP, CSF, CEGIS, CRISP, and CEDA as its cohort of foundations aiming at collective impact - each building lasting institutions to drive systemic change.

The Udaiti Foundation is a mission-driven organisation working to accelerate India’s journey towards a $30 trillion Viksit Bharat by 2047 by unlocking the full economic potential of women. Despite educational gains, women’s participation in India’s formal workforce remains stalled at ~18%. Udaiti is working to shift this reality by shaping demand for quality jobs, strengthening women’s enterprise ecosystems, and enabling the public-private architecture needed to drive systemic change in Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE). We work at the intersection of data and system-level change, combining evidence with institutional engagement to drive scalable, lasting impact.

Our bold national goals include increasing India’s female labour force participation rate to over 70%, and doubling the number of women-owned enterprises by 2047, in line with India's vision for a $30 trillion Viksit Bharat.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
