Testimonials
I’m truly grateful for UnLtd India’s program—it transformed our approach of rural education. The hands-on field coaching helped us address critical blind spots. We refined our annual and strategic planning for Mission 2030. Insights from mentors improved our recruitment process and efficiency. I highly recommend this program for early-stage social entrepreneurs.
Purva: UnLtd India's incubation program truly transformed our organization. Last year, I participated in their Build cohort, and the support I received helped us grow significantly. Now, as the lead in the Grow cohort, their expert coaching has boosted my leadership and made our challenging journey easier. I'm grateful for their help and excited for the future impact we'll create.
I was a part of the UnLtd Build cohort last year. My co-founder was the main applicant. This is our second time with UnLtd India, and this time, we're back in the Grow cohort, where I am representing. It's been a beautiful journey, and I think it has been truly life-changing—both for the organization and for the impact we've been able to create.
I'm happy that we could be a part of the Grow cohort as well. This time, it’s my first incubation program as the leading entrepreneur, and I’ve seen a lot of changes in myself—especially with the direct coaching I receive, the kind of leader I am becoming, and the support I get from UnLtd. I’m really grateful for all of this support and excited to see where the organization and UnLtd go in the future.
