What is a typical day like for a Deshpande Foundation fellow?
This depends on the organization! Fellows start with language lessons at 8am to become functional in the state language, Kannada. The typical work day is 10-6pm. Most organizations work at least a day on Saturdays (and sometimes a full day on Saturdays), which will limit people’s ability to take weekend trips, etc. Lunch is sometime between 12:30 and 2. Dinner is around 8.
