Their investment sizes range from a minimum of $100,000 to a maximum of $5,000,000 with a preferred sweet spot of $1,500,000. They are dedicated to moving people from being test-ready to job-ready and assessing the results based on performance rather than attendance, thereby fostering social mobility and enabling anyone to become anything. This is rooted in their history, where their founder's experiences in Mumbai highlighted the importance of addressing talent shortages not as a lack of people but as a lack of execution capabilities. Through their focus on core values such as empathy, solving customer problems, achieving tangible results, engaging and dissenting obligations, and showing grit, they prioritize creating a meaningful impact over just executing tasks. The team is led by experts including Bhakti Vithalani, Rajesh Ghosh, Yin L. Yin, and Tricia Lee, guided by a prestigious group of advisors and investors like John Chambers, Claire Hughes Johnson, Frits van Paasschen, and Stewart Butterfield.
