Two Indians have made it to the 16 World Fellows List made by the prestigious UK based Yale University. The Yale World Fellows Programme is the University's signature global leadership development initiative and a core element of Yale's ongoing commitment to internationalisation.
Ayush Chauhan, co-founder and Managing Director of design consultancy company Quicksand and Ruchi Yadav, senior program officer at The Hunger Project will join 14 others from countries like Argentina, Chile, China, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, South Africa and UK for an intensive four-month period of academic enrichment and leadership training at Yale.
Till now, 12 Indians have been selected as Yale World fellows since the inception of the programme in 2002.
Chauhan heads the multi-disciplinary design and innovation consultancy, working at the intersection of business, development, and culture. He is also a partner at the Box Collective, where he conceptualised and launched UnBox, the first interdisciplinary festival in Delhi bringing together leading voices from across the world for inspiration, debate and reflection.
Ruchi Yadav has focused to empower elected women representatives at the grassroots level as key change agents in local institutions of government across seven states in India.
"The 2012 fellows were selected from a global pool representing thousands of innovative difference makers. We are proud to offer them this unique opportunity to develop their leadership skills while enriching the Yale community through active participation in campus life," said Michael Cappello, director of the programme and professor of pediatrics at Yale School of Medicine.
