Jagriti Yatra - A Journey of Awakening...

It is literally the lifeline of India. It connects the country from Kashmir in north to Kerela in south to Assam in east to Gujarat in west. Indian Railways, a microcosm of India, where people from all over India travel together to reach their destination. Its amazing how Indian trains covers every aspect of Indian life, from large families traveling together for a marriage, to an executive going to his conference, to students from smaller towns going to big cities to give their entrance exams, to army jawans going to their posts away from their family, to a villager going to a big city to find a suitable match for his daughter, to a newly married couple going on their honeymoon, to an elderly couple going to take their flight to goto Haj...


After 60 years of Independence, India - the country, represents an Indian train journey, taking along people from every aspect of life, to their destination. The Indian train maybe running a bit late but its because it wants to carry with itself people from every corner of the country, from every strata of society, from every religion of the world, to its ultimate destination where everyone reaches together, bonded together with the thread of journey itself.


It is this dream that has given birth to Jagitri Yatra - Awakening Entrepreneurship. Its a journey criss-crossing the country to awaken the entrepreneurship among Indian youth, with whom lies the future of the country. Its a bold initiative taken by Indians from around the world to travel around India, to meet India's youth and to find the DNA of the country that makes it so unique. This discovery of India's unique DNA can inspire Indians to find solutions to problems plaguing the country.

Take the first step towards discovering India by supporting the organization and the journey itself that is being organized by my Dear friend Gita along with Indians from around the world.

Come on board, let the journey to discover India begin...
