About the Organization

Wadhwani AI Global is a mission-driven startup working to bring cutting-edge AI into the hands of governments and public systems across the Global South. Our work spans AI solutions + embedded advisory across public health, education, and agriculture. We partner with ministries, multilateral organizations, and donors to transform innovation into significant public impact.

Job Description

The Wadhwani AI Global Fellowship is a fast-track impact leadership program designed for emerging professionals eager to work at the intersection of AI, strategy, and social impact.

Fellows spend their first 6 months in India working alongside WAIG’s leadership, shaping growth and strategy initiatives. Based on performance, they may then transition to a 3–6 month international placement embedded with WAIG’s partners, governments, multilaterals, and NGOs in Africa, Asia, or Latin America.

Outstanding fellows may be offered a full-time role at the end of the program.

This program is designed not only to build technical and analytical skills, but also to provide frontline leadership experience, from shaping global partnerships to executing campaigns that influence policy and practice.
