Tulika

Tulika has been associated with the development sector in India since 2001. Most of her work has been with underserved youth living in urban slums and villages in India.

She had been supporting NIIT Foundation’s vision of providing skills for employment to underserved youth since 11 years.

In 2016, NIIT Foundation (NF) decided that it was time to work on building leadership capacities in young people, along with their career orientation training. Deeply convinced about this shift and urgent need to build these skills in young people, Tulika found herself embracing the Genuine Contact Program (GCP) in 2017. This learning journey with Genuine Contact (GC) led her to initiate the Change maker Student Process at NF.

In March, 2020, she successfully completed all the required modules of the Genuine Contact Program, and became a certified GC trainer.

She comes with a Bachelor’s Degree from Delhi University and a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Mumbai.

Currently she is pursuing another Master's in International Relations and Peace Studies, from Soka University, Japan.
