What is BNK Fellowship?
With BNK Fellowship, we aim to spot exceptional talent- who could join BNK to introduce new ideas, and also strengthen existing initiatives.
In 2023, we launched registration for the first batch of BNK Fellowship!
3 BNK Fellows (only 1%) were chosen out of 300+ applications following a rigorous screening process.
These 3 BNK Fellows earned the opportunity to travel across India for 6 months- from Jan to June- on fully sponsored trips.
In the second batch, we chose 8 exceptional individuals from 400+ applicants, and further scaled up the opportunity pool for our BNK Fellows- with more one-to-one guidance, weekly-monthly learning sessions, and with extra scope of experimenting space.
With such an encouraging and supportive space, we together launched new exciting experiences under our project, Xperientials, and also introduced treks and international trips at BNK among other milestones.
What can you expect from BNK Fellowship?
Our BNK Fellows learn the skills of trip planning, operations, management and leading, while also honing their skills in marketing, social media, design, sales, management, communication, social and leadership skills.
By the end of these 6 months, we are proud to say that our BNK Fellows with all the learnings could later start a venture of their own.
What do BNK Fellows do?
A BNK Fellow is expected to be involved in planning, discussions, operations, management, and executions of future initiatives at BNK, while also leading experiences and trips. Trip leading is just a small part of BNK Fellowship.
After 3 successful batches, we are now excited to launch the fourth batch and looking for the next set of BNK Fellows who will represent and work with BNK for the next 6 months.
We are opening registration pan India, though preference will be given to ones from Delhi NCR, Jaipur, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Pune and Hyderabad- since we regularly organise Raahe X here and plan to make a strong hub for our trips starting from these locations.
As a BNK Fellow, you will be responsible to organise Raahe X in your city, 1 Day Trips from your city, and lead Xperientials and events.
