GritGen is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering girls and young women in India through education, mentorship, and access to growth opportunities. Our mission is to enable them to pursue higher education, build meaningful careers, and become agents of change in their communities.

The idea behind GritGen stems from a deeply personal experience. Our founder, despite belonging to a well-off family in India, had to overcome societal and familial barriers simply to pursue higher education. This experience highlighted a harsh reality — in many communities, a woman’s worth continues to be defined by marriage rather than by her ambitions or achievements.

GritGen seeks to challenge and change this mindset by creating a supportive ecosystem for girls who aspire to learn, grow, and lead. We believe that empowering women through education and skill development is not just a personal victory — it is a catalyst for social progress and economic growth.

Through targeted initiatives, resource networks, and mentorship programs, GritGen works to ensure that every girl, regardless of her background, has the opportunity to define her own future.

Our vision is a world where every girl’s potential is recognized, her voice is heard, and her dreams are within reach.

GritGen — Building a generation driven by grit, guided by purpose, and grounded in equality.
