Igniting Young Changemakers: The Great Indian Treasure Hunt

At The Ignite Foundation, we believe that true transformation begins when young people step outside their comfort zones, embrace new realities, and reimagine their role in shaping a compassionate future. In line with this vision, we are proud to collaborate with Khoj India as a knowledge and associate partner for their flagship initiative, The Great Indian Treasure Hunt—a six-week immersive journey that brings together youth from across India to live, learn, and contribute alongside grassroots communities.

This unique learning journey is more than just travel—it is an exploration of self, society, and sustainability. Over six weeks, participants engage with grassroots organizations, work on real social and environmental issues, and strengthen their leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.

Why Khoj India?

Khoj India’s vision of Swaraj (self-rule), where young people take responsibility for shaping their own lives and the world around them, resonates deeply with Ignite’s mission of nurturing socially conscious leaders. By working together, we create a powerful ecosystem where young people can flourish as changemakers.

Through this collaboration, Ignite contributes by offering:

• Expert mentorship that guides participants through reflection and growth.
• Skill-building workshops rooted in practical experience and holistic learning.
• A support ecosystem that continues beyond the six-week journey, ensuring the spark of change doesn’t fade but grows stronger.

Together for Impact

So far, Khoj India has collaborated with 25+ grassroots organizations across 13 states. With Ignite’s support, the journey has become even richer and more accessible. From enabling scholarship opportunities to strengthening the curriculum, our role ensures that this transformative experience reaches youth from diverse walks of life.

At its heart, The Great Indian Treasure Hunt is about discovering not just the diversity of India but also the hidden potential within oneself. And with this collaboration, we are lighting the way for many more young changemakers to rise.
