What will you gain by joining the team of Antarang?

The two values seem contradictory – but at Antarang, ambition and empathy go together. You will learn, sometimes by learning patience, the strengths of collaborative work and decision making, the power of growing vs sourcing – 30% of our team are our own alumni. You will be chief nurturer – a skill set that holds us all well in our personal lives too. You will enjoy a flexible, warm work culture – where the only place where we may have a competitive edge over you is during game night – we are a bunch of board game enthusiasts!

About the Organization

Since 2013, Antarang Foundation has been one of the leading voices in bringing employability and career development into the mainstream education narrative. We believe
that education which does not lead to social and economic progress is incomplete – and hence employability and aspirational careers need to be accessible to all young adults across the socioeconomic spectrum. Antarang Foundation builds key employability skills in disadvantaged youth in urban low-income settlements. Through two structured programs, Antarang guides students on career choice, trains them in core employability skills, and connects them to employment opportunities of their choice.
