We believe every young person deserves the opportunity to understand their strengths, explore possibilities and make informed choices about their future.” – Sachin Deshmukh, CEO and Managing Director, ProTeen
The scholarships will support eligible educational expenses, including school or college fees. Sachin Deshmukh, CEO and Managing Director of ProTeen, said the company is focused on widening access to career guidance across different socioeconomic backgrounds. “Our ambition is simple: to ensure that a young person’s future is shaped by their potential, not limited by their exposure or circumstances. We believe every young person deserves the opportunity to understand their strengths, explore possibilities and make informed choices about their future.” Deshmukh said.
The announcement comes as ProTeen expands its engagement with educational institutions, NGOs and career guidance organisations. Over the past six months, the company has established more than 20 new partnerships and engagements, reaching approximately 2,000 additional students, onboarding 10 counsellors and extending its presence to five more schools and universities.
The company provides digitally enabled career guidance through psychometric assessments, career exploration tools and expert counselling. To date, ProTeen has guided over 70,000 students.
“No one can guarantee the ‘right’ career for a student. Interests evolve, new opportunities emerge and the world of work changes. What we can do is help students understand themselves, explore a wider range of possibilities and make choices based on self-awareness and evidence rather than peer pressure, random gueeses, familiarity or external expectations,” said Deshmukh.
