Have an idea to change the world?

Students FUEL

Level 3, 2011; Level 2, 2010

Students FUEL ensures that no student misses any education opportunity because he does not have access to information or because of complicated application procedures. It also aims to reduce the gap between the skill sets of urban and rural students. Since 2006, it has reached to 1.5 Lakh students. Having experienced the personal frustration arising from the complexities and lack of information related to the application process, Ketan decided to compile the information for others. Soon, he realized that many students around him were experiencing the same difficulties and decided to launch FUEL.

What People Are Saying About UnLtd India

Going into this, I had no management experience; I didn't know how to run an organization. That's where UnLtd India's support has been invaluable.

- Pooja Taparia, Arpan

For us, UnLtd India's support in mentoring, vision building, building our capacity to deliver, moving from a particular level to the next level, as a business, as an enterprise -- I think those are the big things.

- Vijaya Pastala, Under the Mango Tree

"Unreasonable Visionaries" is the term I use for UnLtd India investees. They are visionaries with a passion for change and are unreasonable because they refuse to accept obstacles in their course. I am extremely happy with my decision to be on the panel.

- Suman Srivastava, Former CEO at Euro RSCG

The incubation team has helped me put systems in place and boost my targeted budget from 1 to 7 lakh rupees. Interacting with other investees has pushed me to think about my community and approach partnerships in new ways. Other investees think big, so I do too.

- Ashok Rathod, Oscar

I am infected by the energy of UnLtd India investees. They are extremely passionate about the cause they choose and go after it with all seriousness. I have truly enjoyed working with them.

- Amitabh Mall, Principal at The Boston Consulting Group

Every new organisation faces challenges. Every day you wake up and there are more headaches, more things that will go wrong, more cash flow issues. But the peers we work with at UnLtd India give us the confidence to continue.

- Will Muir, Equal Community Foundation

The support from UnLtd India has pushed my team to develop more innovate methods of teaching. Personally, I'm much more confident in pitching my idea, identifying the support I need and then asking others for real guidance.

- Ramesh Joshi, Aashansh
