Kota has established itself as a center of excellence for IIT coaching. Students after class X spend two years in Kota which costs them around 2.5 lacs.
I met a value investor from the US , yesterday who has done very well and has set up a foundation in India so that students who do not have means can get scholarships from his foundation.
He wants to build a life long relationship with these scholars, attract other donors also and go beyond IIT’s. In short he wants to scale.
The foundation office will be located in Kota and he is looking for a CEO for this foundation. The CEO could have rapid wealth creation based on outcomes. In that his approach is different from other NGO’s where the head of an NGO has few opportunities for wealth creation. In this case there will be the opportunity for reasonable wealth creation and doing good at the same time.
As you can imagine getting the CEO position will be tough but if you think you have the passion and ability please let me know.
Once I have the value investors permission to take actual names I will do that.
I could have put this in Venture Jobs but I felt it deserves to be highlighted a bit more as I thought the model is interesting for others to emulate in different fields .

Hi Sanjay,
I hope you remember our few meetings last year.
The project sounds great. Being a native of Kota, I think I can be of help.
My uncle (Dad’s elder brother) runs an Christian ministry (Chuch, Schools and Orphanages) which is headquartered in Kota. He also has tie-ups with the coaching schools.
He is in the US right now and can be of help.
Let me know if you want me to introduce you.

I am from Kota and presently working with Resonance ( Leading coaching institute for IIT-JEE preperation at kota). I have done executive MBA from MDI , Gurgaon and had been a fellow student of IIM Ahmedabad. Got good connections across all coaching institutes of Kota. Already helping Defence wards in getting rebate from Kota’s coaching institutes, i think i can be of immense help to this project but need more info.

Dear Sanjay,
Would love to discuss the plan with you or the value investor. I am not interested in moving to Kota and run this venture but being from Kota, IIT, Banking, Entreprenurial background and having taught poor kids during my summer vacations few years back I think I could be of help.
