About Nimaya Foundation

Nimaya is a future-ready not-for-profit cofounded in 2021 by Navya Nanda and Samyak Chakrabarty, focused on preparing young women facing socio-economic barriers for a world of work being rapidly reshaped by AI and emerging technologies.

As GenAI transforms industries, workflows and hiring expectations, Nimaya works at the intersection of employability and AI readiness to ensure our Nimaya Naaris are not replaced by AI, but instead are equipped to participate and lead in this new economy .

In partnership with institutions such as the Government of India's IndiaAI Mission , we have enabled 10,000+ Nimaya Naaris across 5 states to step into the current world of work with our flagship program - the GenAI Ready Naari.

What's exciting about this role?

Imagine being the execution engine of a program that can change the trajectory of a young naari's future in Ahmedabad, someone who may never have been told that AI, technology, and ambitious careers could belong to her too. We're building a program in partnership with Ashoka University's Centre for Social and Behaviour Change to move the needle for young women from underserved communities and prepare them for the future of work.

This is not a traditional operations role. As a Program Manager, you will own the outcomes of the Ahmedabad program: the learner targets, the field operations, the partner relationships, and implementing our Agentic AIs to streamline compliance & reporting.

You will be the person accountable for making 900 learner journeys actually happen.





What does that mean for you? As Program Manager, you get the chance to:

- Own end-to-end delivery of the Ahmedabad program : cohort planning, enrolment pipeline, batch scheduling, and the 900-learner target
- Close and manage partnerships with colleges & NGOs whose female students/beneficiaries our program will upskill
- Lead and manage the on-ground field team (including the Field Manager), setting weekly priorities and reviewing delivery quality
- Coordinate with trainers, internal team, and on-ground stakeholders to ensure smooth delivery.
- Own program data and reporting : operational trackers, impact dashboards, funder reports, and partnership reviews with Ashoka University's CSBC

Nimaya's GenAI Ready Naari Program

The GenAI Ready Naari Program equips young women with Generative AI skills and future-ready workplace competencies through 40 hours of immersive, hands-on learning , out of which 32 hours are offline training and 8 hours are online. In these sessions, Naaris explore:

- Building Chatbots & training Agentic AIs
- AI-powered research & communication tactics
- Creative problem-solving
- Presentation & collaboration skills
- Real-world projects & mentorship

The goal is not just to teach AI tools but to make learners truly future-ready for what the modern workplace demands: the ability to confidently work with AI instead of feeling threatened by it.

The Project you will join

If selected, you will step into the role of Program Manager of Nimaya's Ahmedabad GenAI Ready Naari Program





Over the next 2 years, this project aims to:

- Upskill 900 young women across Ahmedabad
- Expand GenAI learning to areas where access to AI exposure is still limited
- Ensure meaningful learner outcomes beyond certification
