Core offering

RightWalk Foundation designs, pilots, and implements social policies on behalf of state governments in India, operating embedded Policy Management Units (PMUs) within government departments to deliver education, livelihoods, and health programs. It provides citizen-facing services through AI-powered chatbots, digital public portals, scholarship administration, and apprenticeship facilitation, while also running direct beneficiary programs such as after-school learning and scholarships. The organization is funded through individual donations, corporate CSR grants, and institutional foundation grants to bridge the gap between policy design and on-the-ground delivery.

Product overview

RightWalk Foundation operates as a policy-to-impact organization with a portfolio of interconnected products and programs. The core offerings include the RTE 12.1.(c) Program for educational equity, the Apprenticeship Program for livelihood creation, and the CitizenAI platform framework. These are supported by AI-powered tools like Chatur AI/MahaChatur AI (WhatsApp-based chatbot for apprenticeship access) and EPInc (AI-powered peer learning platform). Additional programs include FABLE (after-school blended learning) and the RTE Scholars Fund for post-Class 8 support. The Propel system is used internally for data management. Together, these products create an end-to-end ecosystem from policy activation to grassroots delivery across education, livelihoods, and health sectors.

Products and services

• RTE 12.1.(c) Program End-to-end implementation of Section 12.1.(c) of the Right to Education Act, enabling children from economically weaker and disadvantaged backgrounds to secure the mandatory 25% seats in private unaided schools. The program operates across RightWalk's state-government partner states, combining a digital admission portal with on-the-ground facilitation to identify eligible children, process applications, and monitor seat allocation.
• Apprenticeship Program Facilitation of apprenticeship opportunities for Indian youth under the national Apprenticeship Act, leveraging a network of 30,000+ private establishments to place candidates and support stipend disbursement and compliance. The program is delivered with state government partners and is targeted at improving youth employability and livelihoods.
• FABLE (After-School Learning Program) Direct after-school learning and enrichment program for underprivileged children, providing supplementary academic and life-skills support. Operated alongside the RTE 12.1.(c) program to extend educational support to children not covered by the formal quota.
• RTE Scholars Fund Philanthropically funded scholarship program that supplements RTE 12.1.(c) admissions by covering ancillary educational costs (uniforms, books, transport) for children admitted under the 25% quota, ensuring they can effectively continue in private schools.
• Chatur AI / MahaChatur AI Proprietary AI chatbot platform (Chatur AI) and its advanced agentic-AI iteration (MahaChatur AI) deployed to provide multilingual citizen engagement for state welfare schemes. Used to scale outreach, automate FAQ handling, and integrate with government service delivery workflows.

• EPInc AI Learning Platform AI-enabled learning platform that delivers personalized educational content and tutoring support, used in conjunction with the RTE 12.1.(c) and FABLE programs to improve learning outcomes for underprivileged students.

Direct peers

• Pratham Education Foundation: One of India's largest education NGOs operating at scale across multiple states with government partnerships, focusing on foundational literacy and numeracy. Highly comparable to RightWalk's education vertical and policy-to-delivery orientation, though Pratham's model is more direct-implementation than PMU-embedded.
• Naandi Foundation: Large India-based foundation operating across education, livelihoods, and health with government partnerships and large-scale programs. Comparable in multi-vertical nonprofit structure and policy-to-delivery approach, though with broader scope and longer operating history.
• Quest Alliance: India-based nonprofit focused on education and livelihoods/skilling for youth, with government partnerships and ed-tech tools. Closely comparable to RightWalk's apprenticeship and education portfolio, serving similar beneficiary segments with technology-enabled delivery.
• The/Nudge Institute: India-based poverty alleviation nonprofit and RightWalk's confirmed partner in the CitizenAI Alliance. Comparable in end-to-end poverty-to-dignified-living mission and India focus, though operating via direct program delivery rather than embedded PMUs.
• Magic Bus Foundation: India-based youth livelihood and education nonprofit connecting underprivileged youth with employment and skilling opportunities. Directly comparable to RightWalk's apprenticeship and youth employment programs in target demographic and intervention model.

Emerging players

• Barefoot College: India-based rural education and skills nonprofit training marginalized rural populations including women as solar engineers, teachers, and health workers. Comparable in rural education/skilling focus and grassroots delivery model, though operating at smaller geographic scale.

Broad incumbents

• Ashoka: Global fellowship network for social entrepreneurs that has recognized RightWalk's founder. Operates adjacent in the social entrepreneurship ecosystem and elects Fellows from comparable organizations, but functions as a network/fellowship rather than program implementer.
• Acumen: Global impact investor and fellowship organization, recognized RightWalk's founder as a Fellow. Comparable in mission focus on poverty alleviation and systems-change, but Acumen deploys capital via investments while RightWalk deploys through policy implementation.
• NITI Aayog: Indian government's premier policy think tank, partner to RightWalk through the Women Transforming India Award and policy engagement. Comparable in policy advocacy orientation, though operating as a government body rather than independent nonprofit.
• UNICEF India: Multilateral UN agency operating in India on education, child protection, and youth programs. RightWalk's confirmed partner (5,000+ educator training in UP); broadly overlapping in mission and beneficiary population but with global scale and mandate.
