About Avanti Fellows
Avanti runs the largest system-wide interventions for Math and Science learning in government
schools in India. Avanti uses the power of blended-learning, technology, and peer-instruction to
create programs that are able to deliver consistent outcomes in low-resource settings. Our
work spans nine Indian states impacting over 8 lakh students through large system-wide
interventions in Haryana and the Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya Schools.
Avanti’s Sankalp Program: Over the past 2 years, Avanti has been running a large system
change project in Haryana. The project covers 219 intervention schools, where teachers are
being provided with technology and content to teach Mathematics and Science in Grade 9-12.
In addition, Avanti monitors progress through a team of program managers and through the
assistance of government officials. This project is being evaluated by JPAL and is currently
funded by the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation, USAID, Morgridge Family Foundation and
Douglas B. Marshall Family Foundation.
Avanti’s Sandbox Project: This project consists of a carefully selected set of 40 schools
spread across Delhi and Haryana which will be the base for our research and innovation
initiatives. The objectives are to- i) inform product and program development, ii) rapidly test
hypotheses and iterate program components, and iii) derive learnings to enable scaling of
tested programs. These schools will be a pilot ground for both curricular and other programs
focused on socio-emotional learning and study their effect on engagement and learning gains.
Avanti’s Ghar Pe School Program: During COVID-19, Avanti has been coordinating a
multi-state at-home learning intervention for low-income students called GharPeSchool. Avanti
has also developed a new web-based platform that allows educators to add multiple-choice
questions in the middle of any YouTube video to create a single learning item called a Plio.
Organizational Culture: Avanti Fellows has a team of just over 60+ professionals led by
Akshay Saxena and Vandana Goyal. The leadership team has a 50:50 gender split with
professionals from diverse educational and professional backgrounds. In addition, the
organization offers a plethora of personal and professional development opportunities,
including participation in international events in the education space and connecting with
experts in the industry. Avanti Fellows pioneered self-directed “peer-learning” in public schools
in India and we have been relying on it in our day-to-day workday as well. The team closely
works with each other on execution and iteration of programs, while offering autonomy in
decision making to help fuel each teammate’s growth.
