Godrej Foundation has announced the launch of Tomorrow Makers, a national platform designed to identify, mentor, and support high-potential students from disadvantaged backgrounds across India. The initiative aims to provide access to opportunities in STEM education, innovation, arts, and defense by connecting talented youth with specialized institutions, mentors, scholarships, competitions, and peer learning communities.
The programme is based on the belief that while talent exists across all regions and socio-economic backgrounds, access to structured mentorship and advanced learning opportunities remains uneven. Through Tomorrow Makers, students from Classes 6 to 12, as well as graduates, will receive support tailored to their interests, aptitude, and career aspirations.
The platform has been developed in collaboration with eight partner organizations and offers four learning pathways focused on STEM, invention and making, arts, and defense preparation. Students will undergo assessments to identify strengths in areas such as science, creativity, innovation, and endurance before being placed into specialized programmes run by partner institutions.
Omar Momin, Chief Executive Officer of Godrej Foundation, said the initiative seeks to create long-term pathways for talented youth who may otherwise lack access to advanced educational ecosystems. “India has one of the world’s largest school-going populations, but many high-potential students continue to face barriers in accessing mentorship, enrichment opportunities, and talent acceleration programmes. Through Tomorrow Makers, we aim to support young people from underserved communities and help build a future generation of innovators, artists, researchers, entrepreneurs, and public leaders,” he said.
For students in Classes 10 to 12 aspiring to careers in engineering, medicine, and technology, the programme has partnered with organizations such as Dakshana and Avanti Fellows to provide free coaching support for competitive examinations including JEE and NEET. For younger students in Classes 6 and 7, organizations including Genwise and MakerGhat will conduct advanced workshops and summer camps focused on robotics, higher mathematics, computing, and innovation-based learning. Participants will also receive opportunities to compete in national and international robotics competitions.
The arts pathway has been developed in partnership with Slam Out Loud, which will provide mentorship, skill development, and performance opportunities for students interested in music, drama, storytelling, and other creative disciplines. In addition, graduates can pursue specialized pathways in professional theatre through Drama School Mumbai and defense examination preparation through Delta Squad Foundation and Yuvatejas. Need-based scholarships will be available for eligible participants.
Students across India can apply through the programme’s website or WhatsApp-based application platform. Godrej Foundation stated that Tomorrow Makers forms part of its broader mission to promote inclusion, innovation, talent development, and equitable economic growth across India.
