Summary
Avasara Academy is a nonprofit institution located in Lavale Valley, just outside Pune, India. We are an
all girls school with a mission to empower girls of promise to lead lives of distinction and impact.
Avasara Academy currently enrolls 350 students in standards 6-12 and will eventually have an

Students engage in our specialized curriculum that combines the academic excellence of the Cambridge
curriculum with a focus on leadership, entrepreneurship, and Indian studies. Students participate in
hands-on leadership and real-world experiences culminating in either an entrepreneurial business or
social initiative that serves as a platform for their leadership development. Avasara will continue to

capital that can facilitate large-scale change. Avasara Academy, therefore, is not just a school but a life-
long network that will cultivate innovative, entrepreneurial leaders.
