You will learn by doing — taking ownership of real assignments across key organisational functions, while working closely with senior leaders and mentors from day one.
This is more than a management trainee program. It is an opportunity to build leadership capabilities while contributing to meaningful social impact.
High-performing Management Trainees will have the opportunity to transition into full-time permanent roles at Sampark Foundation upon successful completion of the program.
Hired for potential. Trained for impact.
This is a full-time launchpad for bright, curious postgraduates who want to build a career while building something that matters.
You will begin with 15 days of structured training at our Head Office, then move into hands-on work across core functions — contributing to live projects, learning how a large education non-profit actually runs, and being reviewed every quarter so you always know where you stand.
This is not a sit-and-watch role — it is hands-on from day one. We hire for potential and train for skill, so you are not expected to arrive job-ready; you are expected to be curious, learn, take ownership, and grow fast.
Sampark Foundation was founded by Anupama Nayar and Vineet Nayar (Former Vice Chairman and CEO of HCL Technologies) with the belief that frugal innovation, combined with relentless execution in partnership with the government, can drive large-scale change in learning outcomes.
Since 2013, our flagship Sampark Smart Shala program has transformed learning in rural government schools through low-cost teaching-learning materials, audio devices with the voice mascot “Sampark Didi” and bot-enabled mobile apps that reach teachers directly in their classrooms. Our operating model is anchored in government partnerships — working alongside State Education Departments, SCERTs, DIETs and block-level officials to make our program the state’s program, not an external intervention. Today, Sampark Foundation impacts 2 crore children across nearly 2 lakh government schools in 8 states — Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Maharashtra and Rajasthan — and trains over 8.5 lakh teachers at the block level every year.
Our next ambition is to reach 5 crore children across 5 lakh schools.
