About the Wadhwani AI Global Fellowship
The Wadhwani AI Global Fellowship is a fast-track impact leadership program designed for emerging professionals eager to work at the intersection of AI, strategy, and social impact.
Fellows spend their first 6 months in India working alongside WAIG’s leadership, shaping growth and strategy initiatives.
Outstanding fellows may be offered a full-time role at the end of the program.
This program is designed not only to build
analytical skills, but also to provide frontline leadership experience, from shaping global partnerships to executing campaigns that influence policy and practice.
