Fellowship
The AWE Fellowship India represents the inaugural women-focused venture capital development program in India, addressing a critical structural gap in the country's capital allocation ecosystem. Launched jointly by AWE Funds and AWE Foundation, the fellowship is positioned as India's first dedicated initiative to train and empower women as venture capitalists and private equity investors. The program's foundational insight is stark: women comprise less than 10% of capital allocators globally, and in India this figure is even more skewed. The AWE Fellowship exists to disrupt both dynamics by building a cohort of accomplished women investors who will deploy capital more equitably and bring different perspectives to venture governance and deal-making.
