Organisation

The 'Teach For India Fellows' work across 305 schools in seven cities of India - Mumbai, Pune, New Delhi, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru and Hyderabad reaching approximately 38,000 students. Teach For India was started in 2008 led by Shaheen Mistri who wanted to bring about systemic change in the Indian education sector by infusing committed teachers into the system. The group met Wendy Kopp, CEO and Founder of Teach For America, and following a McKinsey study, started adapting Teach For America’s Theory of change in India.
