The Udaiti Foundation is a Delhi-based not-for-profit organisation working to accelerate Women's Workforce Participation in the formal economy in India. Udaiti Foundation is part of the ecosystem of organizations under The Convergence Foundation (TCF). Udaiti works on systems-level change combining data and evidence with institutional engagement to drive scalable and sustainable impact for unlocking the full economic potential of women, thereby advancing India's vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.
Over the past decade, India has made significant strides towards increasing opportunities for education, with gross enrolment ratios in many streams having already reached parity. However, the educational gains have not translated into more women working in the formal economy, thus keeping the participation stagnant at 18% of the past five years. Udaiti is working with the government, industry and the ecosystem to shift this reality through the following core pillars:
• Shaping access to quality jobs in the private sector
• Strengthening the ecosystem for women entrepreneurs to become job creators
• Strengthening critical infrastructure enablers such as housing, mobility, and childcare
Position Summary
Women's economic empowerment depends on policies and programs spread across many Ministries, and is held back by constraints in markets, institutions and social norms. The Policy Lead's role is to bring these together across Central and State governments to drive change at scale.
We are seeking an exceptional Policy Lead to join Udaiti Foundation at a pivotal moment, as India's women's workforce participation agenda gains national momentum.
This is a high-impact, entrepreneurial role, offering the opportunity to work closely with senior government stakeholders, policymakers, and gender policy experts, alongside Udaiti's program teams, to move proven models from pilot
