Avasara Academy is a nonprofit educational institution located just outside Pune, India which focuses on educating young women of exceptional promise for a lifetime of leadership and contribution to society. At Avasara (which means 'opportunity' in Sanskrit), we comb the country for high-potential youth who have shown the spark of initiative. These young leaders complete an intensive program of intellectual growth and hands-on leadership development. They are then aided and guided by a powerful network along their path to transformative impact on their communities. Here is a short ten-minute film we've made about the students that inspired the academy:http://vimeo.com/19424463?ab
