Capital Number’s Journey With The/Nudge Foundation

Capital Numbers joined hands with The/Nudge foundation to tackle poverty, the greatest development challenge of all time. The/Nudge Foundation, a non-profit startup, is a collective initiative of some of India’s brightest entrepreneurs, leaders, and change-makers coming together to tackle the greatest human development challenge of our times – poverty.

At Capital Numbers, we understand the value of education and soft skill – the most significant prerequisites for the job. Inspired by the noble initiative taken by The/Nudge Foundation, we wanted to be part of their mission and contribute from our end as much as possible to help them in their noble cause. So, CN promptly went ahead with the noble cause by giving their website a makeover and also become their marketing partners.

“It’s a great feeling when you try your best bit to help such a cause. We understand the importance of education. So, we wanted to contribute from our end as well and we did what we can do better. We helped them boost their website” said much enthusiastic Mukul Gupta, Managing Director of Capital Numbers.

A Few Words about The/Nudge Foundation:

Education has been recognized as a fundamental human right for decades. It is an endless process of nurturing people, their environment, and preparing them to use their abilities and talents to contribute to the development of their society. India will continue to add 1 million to its workforce every month for the next 15 years. 25% of them come from impoverished backgrounds. 50% are school dropouts lacking the hard skills needed for a job.

The/Nudge Foundation, a non-profit startup, is a collective initiative of some of India’s brightest entrepreneurs, leaders, and change-makers coming together to tackle the greatest human development challenge of our times – poverty.

The goal of the foundation is to bring 1 million people out of poverty. The Gurukul, flagship initiative of The/Nudge, focuses on sustainable poverty alleviation by building a strong 360-degree life, learning and economic foundation for poor in residential “Gurukuls”, along with lifelong support system.

The/Nudge foundation is supported by Nandan Nilekani and Tata Trusts and boasts of an illustrious advisory board including Dr. Devi Shetty (Chairman and Founder, Narayana Health); Manish Sabharwal (Chairman, Teamlease); Kiran Karnik (ex-President of NASSCOM); Arun Seth (Ex-Chairman British Telecom & Alcatel Lucent); Hugo Barra (VP, Xiaomi); Dr. Pramath Sinha (Founding Dean, ISB); Naveen Tewari (Founder & CEO, InMobi); Vijay Shekhar Sharma (Founder, Paytm & One97); Manish Dugar (CFO, Practo); Neeraj Arora (VP, WhatsApp Messenger); Ajit Rangnekar (ex-Dean, ISB); G Ananthapadmanabhan (CEO, Azim Premji Philanthropic Initiatives); and Maneesh Dhir (Ex-MD, Apple India)

How CN Gives Back:

At Capital Numbers, so far, we have participated in a number of events, fun-filled & creative activities, driving superior social, economic, and environmental performance. Like every year, this year too, we have indulged in a weeklong fun filled and creative activities to mark Durga Puja celebration. We observed the World Environment Day in a befitting manner, promoting the idea of conserving nature. We also took part in the charity run of 10 Km and 5Km respectively, organized by Airtel, to raise much-needed funds for good causes. At the occasion of Children’s day, we made a difference by aiding some of the underprivileged children nearby.

The list is endless.
