Nooraine Fazal is an educationist, entrepreneur, and change-maker. She conceived, conceptualized and made possible Inventure Academy, a ‘vanguard for holistic education’. With a Master of Science degree in Management from Boston University, she worked with IBM and Reuters in a front-line and managerial capacity. She returned to India in 2003 (after 12 years across the UK, USA, Middle East, Australia and Greater China region), to be a ‘citizen with a say’. Her aspiration is to impact positive change at scale in collaboration with the Government & the wider learning community by empowering youth.

She is a speaker at Universities, conferences and summits and shares perspectives on the Draft New Education Policy (NEP). She was instrumental in drafting a White Paper for Government and schools across the socio-economic spectrum to formulate online schooling models for quality education to all in the post-COVID world. Her Alliance for #RighttoLearn brought together like-minded schools and stakeholders for a strong movement to enable the right of all children & educators to learn and teach, anywhere, anytime. She co-created Inventure’s Our Voice platform, which led to private and Government school students contributing to the Karnataka State Child Protection Policy for Educational Institutions, the NEP, and in identifying and solving problems in their communities via Inventure’s Changemaker Challenge.

Nooraine has played for both the Karnataka women’s cricket and basketball teams, is a yoga and fitness enthusiast and an avid golfer who has represented India at club events. Fortune India Magazine featured her in a list of ‘Future 50 Leaders Shaping Success’ (2019).
