"'The greatest doer must also be a great dreamer.' -- Theodore Roosevelt
Engineers for Social Impact (E4SI) is a group of doers and dreamers. I like their approach to imbuing a culture of social entrepreneurship in India's youth. They not only provide hands-on-training but also give complete freedom so interns can exercise creativity in developing their own ideas i.e. they have created a program to train new doers and dreamers."

'Engineers for Social Impact' is a unique fellowship program in India for current engineering students to spend a summer at a social enterprise, gain understanding and contribute. In a search across the best Indian engineering schools, we connect the 5 best candidates to 5 social enterprises that drive market-based solutions to development in India.
Aim:
- Connect the best talent to the most credible social enterprises
- Create awareness of emerging opportunities in development
Approach:
Since these candidates are key influencers in their peer groups, they can drive a new awareness of sustainable opportunities in social initiatives. The highly selective nature of the fellowship and the associated brands will make this a coveted opportunity for current students and future leaders. It is in the interest of these social enterprises to attract the best talent, and in the interest of the best talent to differentiate themselves. We believe that Fellows of this program could go on to lead or found organizations that accelerate development through enterprise.
Our USP:
- Credible selection process
- Cutting edge, mainstream work content, making social impact
- Participation from best‐in‐breed talent and social enterprises
