![The curtains have closed on the Navani Rising Generations Fellowship – Omega at INME Camp in Yercaud, leaving behind a trail of inspiration and transformation
One of our young fellows shared how the experience helped her feel grounded in her values, inspired by the stories around her, and confident in her ability to lead with purpose. Through immersive learning, deep reflection, and meaningful connections, she found not just growth—but a renewed sense of self.
This is what the Fellowship is all about: creating safe spaces for exploration, shaping resilient mindsets, and nurturing the leaders of tomorrow.
More stories from this unforgettable journey coming soon—stay tuned. 🚀
