The Pathways Report

Three initiatives, each aimed at one gap: who gets career guidance, who gets capital, and who learns how money works.

A1 · Project Pathways · Founder · 2024–present

Beyond doctor or engineer

For many children in government schools, career choice comes down to two words. Project Pathways is a mobile career-counselling cell that goes to them, working in Hindi and English and introducing fields like AI, finance, technology and entrepreneurship.

An aptitude-based assessment helps each student find a direction. Workshops cover communication, leadership, AI, resume writing and financial literacy, and a network of 50+ mentors connects students to 100+ internships, scholarships and mentorships.
