in good company
A wonderful opportunity for high-potential teenage girls
I am Varsha Adusumilli, the founder of Wonder Girls—a company I founded to create a paradigm shift in how girls learn and grow. Our mission is to develop and nurture high-potential teenage girls into future leaders and pathbreakers.
My journey began when I wrote a book called ‘Wonder Girls’, where I chronicled in detail the life journeys of relatable female role models. The book has since been taught extensively in over 150 classrooms across five cities and has gone on to become a classroom-oriented digital programme centered around female role models.
With both the book and now my company, the aim has remained the same: to unlock the potential of girls in India. This mission drives me and my team everyday.
That’s why I am so excited to introduce you to our flagship initiative Wonder Girls Student Leaders Fellowship—which is the first-of-its-kind comprehensive learning programme that nurtures and develops adolescent girls into confident leaders for tomorrow. I hope you will consider giving a Wonder Girl in your life an opportunity to experience this one-of-a-kind programme.

The Wonder Girls Fellowship has provided our daughter with great perspectives in so many domains and showed her numerous possibilities. The experience was fantastic from all perspectives—structure, topics, coverage, open environment, projects, guests, and great execution! All the aspects covered are much needed for the girls outside the classroom. - Praseeda & Vijay (Parents of a Fellow)
