Founder Partnership
Stand with our founders as a Founder Partner and help shape Orchid's mission from the ground up.
Join the founding circle of Orchid University and help shape a new model of value-driven, skill-based education from its earliest days. Founder Partners commit at a transformational level and stand alongside our founders and ecosystem. It is the deepest way to invest in this mission.
Orchid University is still young, and the partners who join us now will help define what it becomes. The Founder Partnership is our most significant circle of giving — reserved for individuals, families, foundations and companies who choose to commit at a transformational level and to walk alongside us as the institution takes shape.
Founder Partners do more than fund Orchid; they help build it. As an intergenerational, social-impact university founded by Arjun Mishra and Vikas Shukla and backed by the Distil Group, Orchid was conceived as a shared endeavour. Founder Partners stand within that founding story, contributing not only resources but counsel, networks and conviction.
What it means to be a Founder Partner
- A foundational role in advancing our mission to raise India's Gross Enrolment Ratio.
- A lasting association with Orchid and its ecosystem — the Peace of Dream Foundation, Distil Group and the Government of Sikkim.
- Deep, ongoing engagement with the students, programmes and outcomes your commitment makes possible.
- Enduring recognition befitting those who helped a university begin.
This is the deepest way to invest in Orchid — to help a value-driven, skill-based university grow from promise into a national force for opportunity. If you are moved to stand with us at the founding level, we would welcome a personal conversation. Contact our founders' office to begin.
