Impactis Update – Onwards and Upward!
As we move further into the year, we’re thrilled to share the next big leap in our journey: we are preparing to support 1,000 students with scholarships.
That’s right—1,000 futures unlocked through education, opportunity, and support. Achieving this will require more than just effort. It will require over ₹5 crore / $600,000 in funding. To make this happen, we’re reaching out to Company CSR teams and individuals like you—those who believe in backing merit and making change real.
If you’re not already enabled to evaluate students, this is the perfect time to dive in. We invite you to start reviewing student profiles, hear their stories, and help us identify those deserving of a hand up. Every interaction counts—and your involvement makes all the difference. Join us in shifting the focus away from impersonal and thoughtless charity and into investing in a future that can deliver lasting change.
Tech Progress: The Road to Launch (With a Few Bumps)
On the product side, we’ve faced some delays in taking our new tech platform live. Our team has been actively experimenting with AI to improve the experience—but it hasn’t been without its challenges.
Here’s what we’re learning:
• Context is still a constraint. While AI-generated code often looks polished, it lacks deep context and fails to hold up reliably when scaled or interconnected. That means every AI-driven output still needs intensive human code review and correction.
• Prompting for code is an evolving art. Getting AI to write usable, scalable software requires well-crafted prompts, and coders still need to develop this fluency. We’re getting better, fast—but it’s clear this is a new muscle.
Despite the hiccups, we’re confident: AI is the path forward. We just have to walk it with eyes wide open.
Launching Soon: A New Way to Give
We’re now aiming to launch the first version of our scholarship-giving tools in June. This will be a foundational release, and your feedback will be invaluable.
We hope you’ll take a few minutes to try it out, share what you love, and—equally important—tell us what could be better.
After all, we’re building this for you. And with your help, we’ll make it something that empowers hundreds—and soon, thousands—of lives.
Call to Action
As always, I’m grateful for your support. Here’s how you can help:
