Looking for an Ambitious Programme Management Leader Who Leads with Empathy to Drive Multi-Generational Impact
Location: Gurugram (On-site) Experience: 8+ Years

About Xcelevate
Xcelevate's purpose is to elevate the excellence of the underprivileged by empowering them for mainstream careers through holistic skilling and hiring partnerships.
We are a team of highly passionate go-getters who have taken on the hard path where nobody has dared to venture. Not just because it’s hard, but because it’s essential to drive a socio-economic grassroots-level change in the society to look beyond backgrounds and pedigrees for career opportunities.
Our belief that excellence can come from anywhere is evidenced by the results so far:
105+ have already been placed at 4 MNCs with an average pay of more than INR 50,000 per month. 16 have already been promoted. Those who were dependent on the society are now becoming taxpayers!
Our alumni come from diverse backgrounds: a panipuri wala, a 12th pass girl who couldn’t afford college, an orphan who got married off early, a victim of domestic abuse who had to leave her 3-year-old child and many more…
Despite all odds, these alumni have shown tremendous grit, resilience and excellence in transforming their lives in just 1 year of skilling!
There are many organisations who are skilling underprivileged for blue-collar jobs. There are many who are skilling them as cheap labour for startups. Most run remote or hybrid programmes. We have developed a unique 1-year residential future-ready skilling programme that has yielded mainstream careers with MNCs for all those who have passed the programme!
Why Join Xcelevate as a Programme Manager?
Are you excited to join a fast-paced high-growth purpose-driven team that’s driving multi-generational impact?
Would you like to play a part in such life-changing human transformation by leading a unique future-ready skilling programme that blends the holistic learning, discipline and growth mindset of the ancient Gurukul system with an AI-assisted pedagogy powered with experience of industry mentors?
Are you excited by the challenge and the opportunity that’s offered with a hard-to-beat combination of Meaning and Money?
