Generally, a background in social sciences, international relations, business, or a related field is advantageous.

Experience:
Experience requirements will also depend on the specific role within Ashoka. Candidates may range from recent graduates to seasoned professionals, as the organization is open to various levels of experience. Previous involvement in social initiatives, volunteer work, or internships in related fields can enhance a candidate's application, but the organization is primarily focused on the potential for growth and contribution to its mission.
