Snapshots
Anant Fellows are from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, geographies, academic disciplines and age groups. The fellowship cultivates an inclusive environment for all gender identities among each cohort. Our cadre of 120 fellows from over 14 countries globally are encouraged to practice empathy, leadership and collaboration with each other and their community.
Partners
In 2019, AnantU collaborated with Pratt Institute for Studio of Experiments (SOE), an advanced studio in Pratt’s School of Architecture. The joint studio is led by Priyamvada Singh, Founder-Principal Architect, Common Ground Practice at AnantU and Brennan Buck, Principal, FreelandBuck, at Pratt Institute. Anant Fellows and Pratt Gaud students worked on New Delhi’s Lutyen Zone to understand how architecture constructs identity – for itself, its inhabitants and its site- to define the nuances of the community.
Placements
Anant Fellowship has a rigorous and effective placement process. The Fellowship supports Fellows whether they choose to find employment, move on to higher studies, seek entrepreneurship opportunities or create their own future pathways. Our multidisciplinary curriculum and diverse cohort allow our fellows to be placed in the social sector, educational sector, urban development and policy sectors, design and architecture practices and government. Anant Fellows coming from any background leave qualified and equipped to explore a wide arrange of roles and opportunities from almost any sector.
