About NavGurukul

NavGurukul is a not-for-profit founded in 2016 and is on a mission to create access to aspirational careers for students from marginalized communities. We are committed to working on profound transformation for our students so they can hold the same jobs and live the life of similar possibilities as people from the top of the pyramid assume. We imagine an equitable higher education alternative where students learn the right skills, mindsets, and the ability to learn on their own to thrive in the world.

What We Do

NavGurukul’s flagship Residential program works with learners from underserved communities by providing courses in fields like programming, finance, business, education & design, along with assistance in securing jobs to build aspirational careers. Currently, we are empowering 1145+ students in our fully funded seven residential centers across various states in India. Six of our seven campuses have only girl students. The focus on gender is a conscious choice, as inclusion is one of the core principles guiding our choices and focus areas.





The residential program is open for students who have finished just 10th grade and are 17 years of age. So far, we have placed around 830+ students with software jobs in the tech industry with various IT giants and product startups. Our campuses are self-governed spaces that the students manage through elected student bodies. The learning on NavGurukul campuses is guided by self-paced pedagogy with a solid focus on peer learning.

Besides the residential program, we have our digital initiatives, such as Meraki, Zuvy, and Samyarth. Through Meraki, we work with students from government schools and ITIs through an online offering to help students learn basic English, touch typing, and programming.

Zuvy is our digital initiative that aims to provide degrees through 3 modes - residential, online, and day boarding. It supports students in getting the best jobs in the software industry with a solid focus o
