Our India Program
Our India Program
The International Innovation Corps (IIC) India Program places teams of diverse young professionals within the Indian government and leading social enterprises.
Applications for the India Program 2045-25 Spring Cohort are closed.
The Fellows are tasked to work on multi-faceted development projects, each with a discrete scope. As Project Associates, the Fellows work on creating a theory of change, implementing the solution and building internal structures to ensure sustainability. The year begins with a two-week long intensive training at the UChicago Center in Delhi and subsequently each team begins to work under the mentorship of the IIC management and leadership of the partner organization.
Over the course of their fellowship, they apply their creative thinking to make critical development challenges soluble. They collaborate constantly, knowing they are each other’s best resource. They problem-solve tirelessly and they persevere when facing daunting challenges.
Our Tech Policy India Program
Our Tech Policy India Program
We support the next generation of Tech Policy thought leaders in India who can collaborate with independent organizations and inform policies for a people centric digital future.
The ONI-IIC ‘Young Leaders in Tech Policy’ Fellowship (“YLT Fellowship”) is an unparalleled opportunity for individuals to be a part of the next generation of tech policy thought leaders in India.
This Fellowship will place young professionals (Fellows), with a background in engineering, in organizations that provide policy input to support their core research, implementation and advocacy work.
Fellows will get an opportunity to leverage their technology skills and backgrounds to bring a fresh perspective to the research output for these organizations. At the same time, Fellows will also get to develop proficiency in tech policy and expertise in their assigned subject areas/ work streams.
Our US Program
Our US Program
The Applied Data Fellowship embeds fellows with strong data skills into local government and non-profit organizations across the United States.
In recent years, data-driven analysis has become an important part of policy development. While governments and non-profits are increasingly investing in data analysis capabilities, there still remains a significant gap between data analysis and actual policy implementation.
The ADF aims to provide a bridge between data and policy through a new one-year U.S. based fellowship in applied data.

Our approach is hands-on, analytical and based on data-driven decision making to co-create solutions that can be operationalized and scaled. Working with established development organizations and the government offers an unparalleled opportunity for solutions to achieve a large scale.
