But out of the 30 million, roughly about five to six lacs (hundred thousand) only make up to a formalized channel itself….Surprisingly, the adoption rate is very low in India, unlike the US or Japan, there are roughly on an average 3000 to 4000 children who get adopted.”

Meet Pranav Chaturvedi, an entrepreneur who helps other entrepreneurs build their ventures through a unique Digitisation, Digitalisation and Digital Transformation venture building company called Favcy. I have known Pranav since 2014, when I started working with Pratham Test Prep and Ankit Kapoor. Favcy is a culmination of Pranav’s experiences in building start-ups in the Indian eco-system. They are institutional investors who work with idea stage founders on equity and obsess about growing that equity. They invest venture assembly lines and help the founder grow. From their fund, they also double down on the best investments that are coming from the venture builder.
Pranav is an alumnus of Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies, Delhi University and has worked with companies like MetLife and Kotak before becoming an entrepreneur himself. Pranav and I keep discussing startup ideas and the ecosystem in general and this conversation is a good summary of such chats.

Meet Aditya Mallya, the City Director for Mumbai at Teach for India (TFI). He has been serving at TFI since 2016. But before that he was a chemical engineer from NIT Jalandhar, worked in ITC FMCG manufacturing, then went on to finish his MBA from ISB Hyderabad and ended up becoming a consultant at Deloitte for almost 3 years. But curiosity and an urgent need to create impact, especially in education, drew him towards TFI.
Aditya and I are close friends from our college days where we co-founded the institute’s first student newsletter. We share a love for learning, reading, writing and, curiously speaking. It is serendipitous that we both ended up in the education sector and a lot of common areas of interest in the development sector.
