Startup Chronicles

As we continue our journey of onboarding new customers, one thing remains constant — the deep joy and inspiration we draw from the stories and journeys of the students and the scholarship-givers who support them. Every new connection reaffirms the team and my belief that education is not just a gift to the recipient, but a deeply rewarding experience for the giver as well. 

One of the most delightful insights we’ve gained is how meaningful it can feel to give a scholarship — to connect meaningfully with your own family and friends over a shared purpose, to see a student’s life change, to hear their hopes, and to know that your contribution set something powerful in motion.

The mindset of giving away charity can never open one up to the impact, experiences and feelings of personalized scholarship-giving. That’s why making scholarship-giving feel as good as it truly is has become something we strive for every day.

I’m also excited to share a special update about our growing circle of partners. Debeshi Chakraborty — not only a generous scholarship-giver but also an elite leadership coach to high-powered executives and Secretary Board of Directors at ICF Delhi & NCR chapter — has kindly come forward to collaborate with us on a new initiative. Together, we’re working on helping more students develop the fundamentals of corporate presence — a crucial skill that can open doors and build confidence in early careers.

We’re truly grateful for her commitment, and look forward to building this important program together.

In parallel, we’ve also started the process of productizing our scholarship-giving service. It’s a big step forward in our mission to scale impact thoughtfully and efficiently. The beta version of our product will be rolling out soon — and the entire team can’t wait to share it with you.

Thank you, as always, for being part of our mission. We’re building toward a bold goal: to impact one million deserving students in the next 10 years. Every share, every referral, every new scholarship-giver makes a real difference.

Play your part in a consequential pursuit. Spread the word or refer someone who might want to create a scholarship. Let’s keep the momentum going — and build a future where opportunity reaches every deserving student.
