Lido Learning Launches 10CR Young Leaders Scholarship Fund Scholarship Fund 100 crore over the next 2 years
Edtech company Lido Learning launches first of its kind Young Leaders Scholarship of 10 crores to help India’s best students become the country’s future leaders. The aim is to get this Scholarship Fund to 100 crore over the next 2 years.
Lido Learning, which offers small group tutoring to students in Grade 4-9 in Maths, Science, English and Coding, has seen massive month-on- month growth during the pandemic, as more and more parents have opted to replace in-person school and tuition with online learning.
However, the rising unemployment has made it difficult for many stellar students to be able to afford to continue studying online.
Thanks to Lido’s billionaire investors like Ronnie Screwvala (Founder UTV, UpGrad) and Vikram Singhania (Managing Director of JK Tyres), we have been able to launch our Young Leaders Scholarship Fund to ensure that India’s best students do not have any break in their learning and development,” said Sahil Sheth, CEO. “Our mission is to
democratize high quality education and this fund is another way for us to achieve that aim.”
The fund will give out scholarships of Rs. 20,000 to deserving students from Grade 4-10. Selected students will become part of Lido’s flagship
Young Leaders Program. The program combines an interdisciplinary course of Math, English, Coding, Science and Leadership with career mentorship, hackathons
and masterclasses with leaders in order to give students a well-rounded education to be the leaders of tomorrow. The curriculum has been designed by an expert team from Harvard and Stanford School of Education and focuses on building problem solving, technical skills, communication skills, confidence and creativity.
“With NEP 2020, the new government directive is clear: we should be focusing on holistic, skill based learning and our Young Leaders Program does exactly that,” said Sheth. “It’s no longer good enough to train to be just an engineer, when most people are going to change careers at least 7 times, and when 800 million jobs are going to be lost to Artificial Intelligence. You need to have a very diverse and flexible skillset and the mind-set to change the world, if you want to be part of the 5% that will be giving orders to machines, rather than the 95% taking orders from them.”
The Young Leaders Scholarship Fund will be disbursing the first of the grants starting August 10 and the Learning to Lead Masterclass series will be kick-starting August 15, with Anupam Mittal (Shaadi CEO), Madhur Deora (PayTM President) and Ronnie Screwvala (UTV Founder) as the first speakers.
All students currently in Grades 4 to 9 are eligible for the Young Leaders Scholarship. To apply, go to lidolearning.com, and book a Young Leaders trial class; students will be selected based on performance, participation and teacher feedback.

A heartfelt tribute to Covid warriors of India, ranging from high-end officers to daily workers, Naman Hai, talks about empowerment, dedication, selfless act of kindness and our leader PM Narendra Modi. Another Producer Shalini Shrivastav,Owner of Breakfree Meaningful Media and entertainment Pvt ltd, has produced this song as a salute to the warriors in this unique idea with Zest Melange, and together they come out with an extraordinary video song which other corporate houses will follow.
It’s been written, composed and crooned by Jeet Pramanik and beautifully directed by Rajeev Shrivastava.
“Rajeev” had gathered the crew and shown the passion to shoot inside the Corona hospital . Rajiv also penned down the dialogues which makes “Naman hai “one of the different genre of music album .Further it’s edited by Manish Pandey.
As much as the song is inspirational, the makers journey from an ultra-successful businessman to song producer is nothing sort of inspiration as well. Talking about the circumstances which lead team Zest Melange to “Naman Hai”, Dhruv said, “I believe in my leader, Narendra Modi. I was running a successful business but once he called for digital India, I turned my entire company into E-commerce enterprise. Our leader called out “Vocal for Local”, we’re only company in India, which manufactures clothing which is made in Indian, made for India.
Dhruv also expressed his gratitude towards
Shri Yogi Adityanath “Gorakhnath Mandir”
Guptashwar Pandey “DGP Bihar”
Dr Dinesh Kurmi “Dr. Kurmis Multispeciality Hospital, Mumbai”
Rahul Mahajan
Nasir Johnny Walker
Vinay kumar Gautam “DOP of Gorakhnath Mandir”
IPS Anand Vardhan Shukla “Former IG Traffic Jaipur”
Lt.Col. Saumitra Joshi (Retd)
Suriaya Wadiwala “Lions Club of Lonavala supremos”
Media/Digital Partner “Ruchika Gupta of Media Fourth”
“New song is an ode to Narendra Modi and all the Covid-warriors who are contributing in their own capacity. Whether a police officer, doctor, nursing staff, attendant, cleaning crew, garbage hauler, or perhaps a common man, the song is all about inclusion and our heartfelt respect and gratitude towards the people who are stirring us through this muddy times”
Driven by a very strong belief to make this fashion desirable to the Indian corporates, Zest Mélange has the heart in the right place as they are in straight alignment with the view of pollution control as they don’t use any plastic fibers and everything is Indian about. The best part about the product is that it’s our pride and it’s world’s best for India’s finest which won’t be an overstatement. We spoke to Dhruv on the vision of the brand and here is what he says, “I see the biggest potential in the world to be us Indians and I want the true representation of them at each stage and be appreciated by it. Everything in is about quality that we can bring to the table.”
The video has been shot creatively, with several depictions of emotional struggle, purity, and liberation – through the choreography, expressions and hard work of people. It doesn’t use the run-of-the-mill techniques and takes the route less travelled – using more practical and real references.
Ever since the Covid-19 pandemic the world has changed and the way we operate has also changed drastically. Zest Melange took to whole “Vocal for Local” to a whole new dimension, in terms of incorporating Indian work-force to create something which has global appeal.
The song is out Just.
Celebrations of Independence Day this year will be rather restrained. The world confronts a deadly virus which has disrupted all activities & taken a huge toll. It has altered the world we lived in before pandemic: President in his address to nation on the eve of #Independence Day
Aug 15 fills us with excitement of unfurling the tricolour, taking part in celebrations & listening to patriotic songs. Youth of India should feel special pride of being citizens of free nation: President Ram Nath Kovind in his address to the nation on the eve of #Independence Day.
The nation is indebted to doctors, nurses and other health workers who have been continuously on the forefront of our fight against this virus. Unfortunately, many of them have lost their lives battling the pandemic. They are our national heroes: President Ram Nath Kovind
We are fortunate that Mahatma Gandhi became the guiding light of our freedom movement. As much a saint as a political leader, he was a phenomenon that could have happened only in India: President Ram Nath Kovind
The entire world has shaken up and so is India due to Corona pandemic. This has resulted in complete lockdown almost in 200 countries around the world and India is no exception to this. India has also declared complete lockdown since 25th March 2020.
As our lockdown is extended 4th time now, we understand that life of people will go through radical changes and almost every business will suffer.
As a responsible 101 old association of bullion and jewellery, we immediately swing in to action to help the industry.
The task was not simple as we have offices in 31 states across the country. We immediately called the web meeting to decide on the following point.
1. How to help workers for their daily needs.
2. How to secure business premises of the jewellers.
3. What kind of stimulus package will be needed for the industry. 4. What can be our exit plan from lock down?
5. Preparation of SOP post lockdown.
Immediately, we formed various committees to look after this. What we realised that we need to protect all the people in the supply chain and not only our members. The focus was to save the industry and trade and not only to save our members.
We immediately formed one unit under IBJA as “Jewellers fight Corona (JFC)”. The purpose was to involve entire supply chain affected people and not only bullion dealers and jewellers.
Going further, various committee were formed and assigned various jobs as per the point discussed above.
Our biggest challenge was to help the workers, who were back bone of the industry. Thus, we divided entire workforce in to three categories as under.
a. Karigar employed by jewellery Manufacturer
b. Contractors engaged by the jewellery manufacturer under whom various small workers
are working.
C. Small karigars who are neither employed nor working under any contractor.
We immediately went into action and started calling all the manufacturer to ensure that they take care of karigar employed by them. Though task was difficult, almost all big jewellery manufacturers ensured us that they shall ensure minimum basic need of their karigar employed by them.
Secondly, we started calling up big contractors and took an assurance from all the contracts also that they shall also ensure minimum basic need of the karigar working under his contract.
Both this promises resulted in our focus being shifted to small karigars. We took special permission from police authorities and visited few of such places where karigars were staying. We found that most of this small karigars don’t have any money even to buy meals.
We immediately decided that we should distribute ration to them and not ready meal as food habits of all the karigars are not same.
We started involving Bengali karigar association for their verification of small karigar. The Ration were purchased and we started distributing ration and other daily food requirement to them.
Till today we have successfully distributed Ration equivalent to appx 5,00,000 meals in numbers to this karigars only in Mumbai. Various other daily pulses and masala requirement to cook food was also given to them.
The request than started coming even from police and other municipal authorities. We also covered them in in our daily Ration distribution as this authorities have been ensuring cleanings, sanitizing and securing our market.
The meals were distributed not only in Mumbai but nearby areas like Kalyan, Diva, Bhayender, Dombivali, etc where this work force is staying.
Apart from ensuring that no worker sleeps without food, we had a task of ensuring that our jewellers get back all their material which was with the karigars.
Hence, we immediately approached various state authorities including police and municipality and discussed the issue of collection of gold given to karigars by jewellers for manufacturing jewellery, who would otherwise migrate to their natives without handing over gold to jewellers.
We are truly thankful to entire state machinery which permitted karigars and jewellers to travel during lockdown period wherein all jewellers got back their material from the karigars. We could systemically do the entire operation in one single day wherein nearly 4000 jewellers were able to open enter their shops during lockdown with special permission.
We also ensured complete Sanitisation of Zaveri bazaar area. We distributed Sanitisation machine free to each building in Zaveri bazaar area.
We also distributed mask, gloves, tempreture machine and hand sanitisers to most of jewellers.if Zaveri bazaar area.
We ensured that Gold business for commodity exchange and banks and NBFC works as an essential service even during lockdown as per govt order. All gold commodity exchange and bullion banks and NBFC worked in full swings even during lockdown.
IBJA continued to give daily gold prices inspite of lockdown and this helped Government to generate 3000 crore thru sovereign gold bond. Needless to say that these bond were floated as per IBJA rates.
We ensured that entire area of Zaveri bazaar is safe and secured even during lockout. For which we got special permission from police department and BMC to repair and install few more cameras which were installed at Zaveri bazaar.
We also intend to start 24*7 medical facilities soon at Zaveri bazaar for benifit of karigars.
At IBJA, we made more than 3000 more members even during lockout period thru digital mode.
We did various webinar for enhancing the knowledge of industry participant in which not only domestic people but internationally well-known people also participated.
We also arranged for Corona test of many police authorities.
We distributed Mask, Gloves, PPE kits etc to various police and state authorities. We also made payment for hospital buying medical equipments and consumables. We also arranged for transport and rail facility for migrant labourers.

लॉकडाउन में फँसे हज़ारों बिहार,झारखंड और यूपी के मज़दूर को रोज़ भोजन करा रही “रेखा चेरिटेबल ट्रस्ट”
हैदराबाद। कोरोना वायरस के संक्रमण को लेकर लॉकडाउन के दौरान हैदराबाद और आसपास के शहरों में हजारों की संख्या में बिहार,झारखंड और यूपी के मजूदर फंसे हैं। इन श्रमिकों के सामने खाने-पीने की समस्या आ गई है। इन श्रमिकों की मदद के लिए कई सामाजिक संस्था आगे आई है। इनमें भारतीय टेनिस खिलाड़ी रेखा व्यालपल्ली के नेतृत्व में सामाजिक संगठन “रेखा चेरिटेबल ट्रस्ट” दिनरात भरपूर सहयोग करने में लगा है। रेखा चेरिटेबल ट्रस्ट प्रतिदिन संकट में फंसे इन जरूरतमंद हज़ारों लोगो को खाद्य सामग्री किट मुहैया करा रहा है।
संस्था के संस्थापक रेखा व्यालपल्ली ने बताया कि करीब बीस हजार श्रमिकों के बीच खाद्य सामग्री किट का वितरण किया जा चुका है और हर रोज़ लगभग दो हज़ार लोग इसका लाभ लें रहें हैं। इस किट में चावल, आटा, दाल, आलू, प्याज, नमक, मसाला, तेल और चना शामिल है। रेखा आगे बताती हैं की संकट के इस घड़ी मे सभी लोग परेशान हैं लेकिन गर्भवती महिलाओं की परेशानी क़ुछ ज़्यादा ही है। इसलिए गर्भवती महिलाओं के लिए संस्था की ओर से एक विशेष किट की व्यवस्था की गयी है जिसमें एक कैरेट अंडे,ड्राय फ़्रूट,हरी सब्ज़ियाँ,बोर्नविटा,ब्रेड,मास्क़ और सेनिटाइज़र इत्यादि है।
