MUMBAI: Ignitee Digital Solutions Pvt. Ltd, India‘s leading digital marketing company supports "Teach For India", a nationwide movement that aims to bridge the educational gap in India by placing outstanding college graduates and young professionals in low-income schools with a motive of imparting education over a period of two years. These children will be provided with intensive training by "Teach For India" and supported to becoming life-long leaders in sectors that they choose thereby advocating educational equity.

Speaking on the Occasion, Mr. Sandy Pinto, Sr. Vice President, Ignitee says, "It is overwhelming to support an organization of such lineage. Teach for India, a part of the "Teach for All Network" group, comprises of independent social enterprises that are working to expand educational opportunities in their nations. Teach for America‘s (TFA) impact is one such example. The organisation aims at ending inequity in education and it is our privilege to be part of this movement. Seldom do we get an opportunity to make a difference to the society. Teach for India is one such initiative where we would be proud of ourselves as we would be doing our bit to empower our country with the most invaluable asset, ‘Education for all‘.

TFA currently serves 35 urban and rural regions and has been working in full force since 1990 having nearly 3 million students, with a batch size of 7,300 and continues to mobilize more than 17,000 alumni, including 246 school leaders and 15 elected officials.

Ignitee has not only designed the website (www.teachforindia.org) with powerful creatives to attract the brightest young professionals but also developed a detailed online application process to do away with cumbersome paper applications. The website now has a striking creative that ensures users to spend a few minutes to understand the movement and a detailed online application form developed keeping online sensibilities in mind and made completely flexible so that users could start the process, save information, and make changes along the way, similar to the way applicants would apply online for B-schools in the US.
