About Dishaa
The aim of Dishaa is to expand, enrich and energise relations
between India and the UK by investing in the next generation of
leaders. By fostering discussion amongst a network of diverse
leaders, the initiative will develop shared approaches to 21st
Century political, economic and social challenges for emerging
talent in both countries.
Common Purpose has developed the Dishaa initiative in partnership
with the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office.
The 40 participants (20 from both India and the UK) will be high
achievers from different backgrounds and a variety of
sectors.
Participants will draw insights from across the two countries and
from the diverse range of leaders and organisations involved. It
will allow future leaders to work together to address complex
challenges.
Each year Dishaa will identify a compelling challenge, common to
both countries. The participants then gather - in India or the UK -
to meet the challenge. They investigate the issues locally, develop
their thinking, work up ideas - big and small - and present their
findings.

"Dishaa is Hindi for direction. Dishaa enables future leaders to
see how much can be gained through links between the UK and India
as they set the direction for their lives and careers."
