ChangeInkk Foundation

What ChangeInkk Foundation does

ChangeInkk Foundation is a Delhi-based nonprofit founded in 2021 by a family of dyslexics, operating with 11-50 employees across India to support the estimated 200 million Indians with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLDs). It works across five pillars — Policy and Governance, Ecosystem Building, Programs, Tools and Resources, and Awareness and Advocacy — delivering programs spanning school education, higher education, vocational skilling, and employment/entrepreneurship. Its primary customers are government education bodies (Ministry of Education, SCERTs in Bihar and other states, AICTE, CBSE, NCERT-CIET, NBSE) and corporate partners (NASSCOM Foundation, CII, FICCI, Tata Group), with no commercial pricing; revenue flows from grants, CSR, and government programme partnerships.

Its core product portfolio includes the #Speak4Dyslexia NEP 2020-aligned resource pillars (Identification & Screening, Remedial Support, Inclusive Teaching Strategies, Inclusive Assessments, Leveraging Technology), practitioner guidebooks, the Dyslexia Journeys publication, and immersive AR/AI/VI simulations that demonstrate the SLD experience at exhibitions. Notable programs include the BUILD programme with the Department of Higher Education (41 institutions, 300+ department heads sensitized), SCERT Bihar master-trainer training (1050 trainers across 12 batches), and the Nagaland State Resource Centre initiative. The go-to-market is event- and community-driven: workshops, sensitization sessions, awareness campaigns (#Speak4Dyslexia, #Walk4Dyslexia, #GoRedForDyslexia, #ImagintheWorld), and Purple Flame — a sub-brand billed as the world's first female dyslexic superhero. Strategic technology differentiator is the AR/AI/VI simulation experience, positioned as a novel empathy-building architecture rather than a core AI product.
