About The/Nudge:

The/Nudge is an action institute building resilient livelihoods to alleviate poverty.

We work with women, farmers, tribals and youth on rural development, agriculture, skilling and economic inclusion, along with 15+ central and state government partners.

Our economic inclusion journey for 25 million Indians has reached 10 states with $250M of government funding to cover 1.25M people.

Our incubator, accelerator and grand challenges have supported 200+ social entrepreneurs including 17 Forbes 30U30, 3 EarthShot Prize winners, 1 Time Magazine cover and more.

Set up with support from 90+ eminent philanthropists, 40+ corporates and 15+ foundations including Gates, Mackenzie Scott, Vinod Khosla, Nandan Nilekani, Tata Trusts, Skoll, Meta, LinkedIn, HDFC, Mphasis, KPMG and L'Oreal, we are contributing towards a "poverty-free India, within our lifetime".

What are we solving for?:

We are solving for households in poverty who are also financially and socially vulnerable through a targeted, multi-faceted, and sequenced model called the graduation approach, which has demonstrated that we can durably pull households out of poverty.

At The/Nudge Institute, we have been piloting this program for the past 3 years and are now scaling it across multiple states.

Our purpose is to enable the most excluded individuals to become contributing members of the economy.

- Coordinate with Operation leads and state leads to identify critical capability gaps and prioritize interventions (technical, process, behavioral).

2. Design and delivery of learning:

- Support design and contextualization of training modules, and micro-learning content for economic inclusion (livelihoods, coaching, case management, data use, dashboards).

- Deploy a mix of learning methods: in-person training, coaching, field exposures, online modules, and refresher sessions.

- Facilitate train-the-trainer (ToT) for field teams and manage a pool of internal trainers and champions at field level.
