Chennai

The vibrant culture of Chennai is effortlessly reflected in Teach For India’s presence in the city. Since 2012 when the Chennai site was launched, we’ve seen the Alumni numbers grow from 3 to a well-connected team of 150 today. We are pleased that over 90% of our Chennai Alumni continue to work in the education sector. As an integral part of the wider regional landscape, they lead change within organisations as intrapreneurs as well as entrepreneurs.
