Company - Antarang Foundation

Company profile

What do you want to be when you grow up?” For some, it’s an exciting question filled with endless

possibilities. But for millions of young people in India, the answer feels distant—blurred by uncertainty,

limited exposure, and circumstances beyond their control. Many drop out of school, unable to see how

education connects to their future. Others make career choices based on family expectations, never

truly discovering their passions or potential.

At Antarang, we believe that career education is not a privilege—it’s a right. Our mission is to integrate

it into the public school system, ensuring that every young person, regardless of their background, has

the guidance, skills, and confidence to aspire, act, and achieve.

And it’s working. Our students are filmmakers, fitness trainers, chefs, entrepreneurs, and

more—breaking cycles of poverty and rewriting their futures. Over the past decade, we’ve guided

360,000+ adolescents into diverse career pathways.
