Dear Friends:
Dakshana successfully completed its 6th full year of operations in 2012. Since inception in 2007, the
IITs have accepted 457 Dakshana Scholars (out of a total universe of 1033 Dakshana Scholars) – a
success rate of over 44%. Not too shabby – considering that the IITs typically accept under 2% of
applicants.
Most of the kids who were christened Dakshana Scholars in 2007 joined the IITs/NITs in 2009 and
entered the job market in 2013. It is thus an important landmark year for Dakshana – our first sizable
graduating class. This is where the rubber meets the road. Do Dakshana scholars do well after they
graduate and enter the job market? Do they succeed in permanently removing the shackles of poverty?
The answer is a resounding yes.
Our Failures
While Dakshana’s unique model definitely works, we have made many poor decisions leading to
significant failures over the years. One of these failures took place in 2008-09 when we set up our own
ill-fated hostel and coaching center in Faridabad (Haryana) to prepare a batch of 68 JNV alums from
all over India for the IIT-JEE. It is the only time when we attempted to coach a group of kids outside a
JNV campus. The myriad of thorny management problems we encountered made it a no-brainer to
abandon the Faridabad facility as soon as the scholars finished their IIT-JEE and AIEEE exams. Of
the 68 kids we hosted at Faridabad, just 22 were accepted by the IITs. The Faridabad batch of 68
included six girls, one of whom was Ms. Angom Chandrakala. Angom is scheduled caste (SC) and
was raised in Manipur state by her single widowed mother on under $2/day. At age eleven, Angom
cleared the JNV selection test and left her mother’s home and became a resident student at JNV
Imphal (Manipur).
When Dakshana did selections for the Faridabad Hostel batch in 2008, Angom barely made it. She
was originally waitlisted by us and later accepted only when there was a no-show. And she was only
accepted by Dakshana because we give significant affirmative action preference to scheduled castes
and tribes. Among the 68 scholars we accepted, Angom ranked last in Dakshana’s selection test.
After a year of intensive IIT-JEE coaching by Dakshana, Angom was not accepted by the IITs. Like
all our scholars, she also took the AIEEE (All India Engineering Entrance Exam). Unlike the IIT-
JEEs, which only give ranks for the top 13,000 accepted students, the AIEEE gives all million test
takers a rank – which we find quite useful. Angom got an All-India rank of 69,870. There are just
about 30,000 decent engineering seats available nationally at the IITs, NITs and other top institutes in
India. Her prospects were not looking good.
Angom’s home state of Manipur is located on the border India shares with Myanmar and it is one of
the most backward and desolate of India’s 28 states. The AIEEE ranks show just how backward
Manipur is. While Angom ranked nearly 70,000 nationally, in her state she was ranked 26th. And
among all the scheduled caste kids who took the AIEEE in 2009 from Manipur, she was the topper!
Numero uno!!
Page 2
That high SC ranking secured Angom a highly coveted seat at NIT Durgapur in West Bengal as a
Computer Science major. Like the JNVs and the IITs, the NITs are required by law to practice
affirmative action and reserve seats for scheduled castes and tribes. Recently, in 2013, Angom
graduated from NIT Durgapur and was recruited by Microsoft, where she now works as a Software
Engineer. To the best of my knowledge, Microsoft in India couldn’t care less about the predicament of
the scheduled castes in India. It is a strict meritocracy. There ain’t no affirmative action practiced by
Microsoft in India. Microsoft is super selective in its recruiting practices globally, more so in India. It
is a testament to the distance Angom has traveled. After getting a significant helping hand from the
affirmative action policies of the JNVs and the NITs as well as Dakshana, Angom no longer needs our
help. She has soared.
While affirmative action remains controversial globally, on balance, I am a proponent. Angom is not
the exception. I have repeatedly seen our SC/ST scholars do far better than their Dakshana selection
test scores would predict. The generations of blatant abuse and discrimination is tough to overcome in
just a few years. But the Angoms of the world persevere and prevail.
Dakshana failed miserably when we embarked on the Faridabad Hostel project – to the point that we
shuttered the facility as soon as possible. We lost plenty of money on the infrastructure investments
we made at Faridabad. We failed to get 46 of those 68 Faridabad kids accepted by the IITs. And we
failed with Angom. But, even after failing with Angom, we actually succeeded with Angom!
“Invest in businesses that an idiot can run because one day an idiot will.”
- Warren E. Buffett
We succeeded with Angom because the Dakshana model is simply incredible. We are, however, too
dumb to come up with something so elegant and powerful on our own. We were wise enough to clone
Anand Kumar’s Super 30 model. That one single great decision allows us to make innumerable dumb
ones – and still come out smelling like a rose. I love it! The model routinely converts our innumerable
failures into successes. I can absolutely guarantee that we will continue making plenty of bonehead
decisions in the years ahead. And amazingly, we will likely continue looking great. Thank you
Anandji!
And, of course, it is not just Angom. Alapaka Bhanu Krishna from Nellore in Andhra Pradesh is the
son of an illiterate farmer. He was accepted by IIT Kharagpur in 2009 and is now employed by
Infosys. We succeeded with Alapaka. And we succeeded with Aniket Argade, the son of an
impoverished farmer in Pune, Maharashtra. He was in the same batch as Angom at Faridabad. Like
Angom, Aniket was not accepted by the IITs, but did get a fantastic rank of 6650 in the AIEEE and
was accepted by NIT Nagpur. After recently graduating with a degree in Mechanical Engineering,
Aniket now works for Honda Motors in Gurgaon (Haryana).
Page 3
Also with Angom at Faridabad was Govind Kitawat from Rajsamand district in Rajasthan. The son of
a marginal farmer, Govind was also not accepted by the IITs, but he did get accepted by NIT Raipur
in Chhattisgarh state and is now a Software Engineer with Thompson Reuters at Bengaluru.
Congratulations to Angom, Alapaka, Aniket, Govind and all the hundreds of other Dakshana alums.
You did it! My blessings with thee!
2009-2013: What a difference!
Just four years ago, in 2009, Dakshana was facing some pretty dark days. The financial crisis had
taken a heavy toll and wiped out nearly 70% of Harina’s and my net worth. Dakshana was
spending well over $1 million a year and had just $400,000 in cash at the time. It was simply not
sustainable for Harina and me to consistently fund and scale Dakshana with these realities. We
seriously considered not taking on any new scholars in 2009 and simply using our limited
resources to get the existing 350+ scholars to the finish line in 2010.
We candidly discussed our predicament with senior JNV and Indian Government officials. They
advised Dakshana to scale back the program, but not to create a gap by taking no new scholars.
The Indian Government is heavily driven by precedent. We were getting entrenched as a
mainstream public-private partnership and they advised that we should not take actions that
rocked the established status quo.
Paying careful heed to their guidance, we dramatically downsized, but continued to accept new
scholars. In 2009, Dakshana accepted just 50 traditional scholars at a single location – our
smallest batch ever. We took full advantage of this downsizing to seriously streamline our
operations. Dakshana was holistically rebuilt from the ground up by our CEO, Colonel Ram
Sharma, who came on board in 2009.
Well, we are back! Dakshana accepted 110 scholars in 2010, 206 in 2011, 259 in 2012 and 434
in 2013 – an all time record. We’ve increased incoming scholars at a compound annual growth
rate of over 54% from 2009 to 2013. More importantly, we’re on track to continue growing at
well over 30% a year for at least the next few years.
While 2013 represents our largest incoming batch, it is apparent from the data that, if we had the
classroom and dorm capacity, we could have accepted at least 1000 scholars and still delivered a
greater than 50% IIT acceptance rate. The JNVs are a mother lode of raw talent and it frustrates
Colonel Sharma, me and the entire Dakshana team that we could not take in many more kids.
As I pen this letter, Dakshana has nearly $3 million in liquid assets. In addition, inflows in the
next 16 months will likely exceed $4.3 million. We are spending under $1 million a year
presently. Colonel Sharma, Sharmila and I are trying as hard as possible to step on the gas and
intelligently increase spending. We’d love to dramatically increase our scholar numbers and
capacity, even in a sub-optimal manner, but are constrained by the slow pace at which our
partner, the Government of India moves.

It reminds me of this verse by Ghalib, slightly tweeked:
sark r sabr-talab aur a shan b t b
scholars s y bol n construction khatam honé tak
Translation:
The government demands patience
but we at Dakshana are so impatient.
Indeed, what do I tell these scholars
who have been unjustly denied seats
till the construction is complete?
-Mirza Ghalib – slightly edited by Mohnish
To keep the Ghalib purists from breaking out in hives, here are the original lines by the master
poet:
shi sabr-talab aur ta ann b t b
dil k ky ran ar ḳh n -jigar honé tak
Translation:
Love demands patience
but the myriad desires make one so impatient.
Indeed what do I do with this restless heart
till it is soaked with blood, red blood?
-Mirza Ghalib
As I mentioned last year, the good news is that we have a wonderful partner in the Government
of India. The bad news is that we have a partnership with the Government of India.

2013 IIT Acceptances – Mildly below our expectations
The 2013 JEE Advanced (Indian Institutes of Technology Joint Entrance Exam) results are out and,
while there are some silver linings, the results are well below expectations. In 2013, a total of 206
Dakshana Scholars took the JEE exams. 86 of them were accepted by the IITs, a success rate of just
41%. However, in order to do a true apples to apples comparison with past years, a more detailed drill
down is in order.
Of these 206 scholars selected in 2011, 50 were based in Pune. This Pune batch was an all-girls batch
(actually 48 girls and two boys). These skewed demographics resulted from a lack of male
dormitories. Just 12 of the scholars from this batch cracked the IIT-JEE. We lowered admission
standards below our typical cutoffs for 43 of these 50 kids. Of the seven Pune kids who met our
cutoffs, four were accepted by the IITs. We knew that the IIT acceptance rate at Pune would be low,
but we were thrilled to run this natural experiment to help train more women engineers and glean
some important empirical data. In any case, the girls did well enough that we’ve had robust
acceptance by the NITs for the Pune batch.
The Hyderabad location had 54 scholars, however, we accepted 11 scholars at Hyderabad below our
cutoffs due to a lack of dorm space. These kids were from JNV Hyderabad itself, so they already had
been allocated dorms. We again knew that IIT acceptances would be low among this group, but there
was virtually no cost and the seats would have gone vacant. Of the 43 kids at Hyderabad who met our
normal cutoffs, 24 were accepted by the IITs. Similarly at Bengaluru and Kottayam, a total of five
kids were accepted below our cutoffs. Thus, of the 206 scholars, just 147 met our cutoffs. And 72 of
these 147 were accepted by the IITs, an adjusted success rate of 49%.
This 49% acceptance rate will adjust upward as some scholars retake the JEE next year. However,
even with these adjustments, the success rate is below what we would have expected. We are still
researching all of the reasons, but the biggest ones seem to be the tectonic changes the government
made in 2013 to the IIT selection testing and acceptance criteria. The single IIT-JEE test was replaced
by two tests, spaced several weeks apart. If one did not rank in the top 15% of test takers in the 1st test,
one could not ever appear for the second one. At many locations, our scholars, after having excelled in
the first test slacked off before the much harder second test. They regretted their actions even as they
gave the second test. It is the second test that determined final IIT acceptances. We have already
begun counseling the 2014 and 2015 batches on not repeating the folly of their seniors.
Focus on the Disabled
In 2010, we selected our first batch of six disabled kids, and, amazingly all six were accepted by the
IITs. In 2011, we accepted four disabled scholars and all four were accepted by the IITs. So far, we
have a perfect score with our disabled scholars. Most of them are victims of polio with severely
compromised lower limbs.
Page 6
We have also been working with organizations like the Artificial Limb Center at the Armed Forces
Medical Center (Pune) to provide improved artificial prosthetics to our disabled scholars. Last year,
we provided artificial legs to Dakshana Scholar Rahul Patidar at a cost to Dakshana of just $150. This
year another scholar, Shiv Kumar, received artificial legs. As these scholars graduate from IIT with
hefty paychecks, they will be able to avail themselves of the very best artificial limbs on the planet
which are rapidly closing the gap with natural ones. Some disabled scholars have a variety of vision
disabilities (such as being blind in one eye etc.). We have begun leveraging the tremendous
capabilities of Aravind Eye Care in Madurai to provide the best possible remedies to these scholars.
Aravind is set up to deliver these life altering services to our scholars at no charge.
Dakshana remains firmly committed to maximizing the disabled scholars we take on every year.
I think of these annual reports as chapters of an unfinished book. It is best to start with the first chapter
– 2007’s annual report. You can view it at www.dakshana.org/AR07.pdf. The subsequent annual
reports are available at http://www.dakshana.org/AR08.pdf, http://www.dakshana.org/AR09.pdf,
http://www.dakshana.org/AR10.pdf and http://www.dakshana.org/AR11.pdf. Alternatively, you can
email me at mpabrai@dakshana.org and I’ll mail you a hardcopy. For brevity, I’ll assume that the
reader has already read the earlier annual reports and perused our website.

Dakshana raised over $1.3 million from non-Pabrai family members in 2012. A large part of the
$1.3 million is the $1 million we receive annually from Prem Watsa and his family. Thank you
Prem! We ended the year with a robust $2.6 million in liquid assets.

In these annual reports, I have taken an atypical approach of not including detailed financials.
This has been done for readability and saving a tree or two. US foundations are required to file
Form 990-PF with the IRS every year and the IRS makes these filings public. We provide a link
to these public filings on our website (www.dakshana.org/about_us/financials.asp). The Form
990-PF is filed in May of each year for the preceding year and it provides all the detailed
financials.
Direct Scholar Expenses
In 2012, we spent $566,000 on the Dakshana Scholar Program and related corporate overhead. In
addition, T.I.M.E donated about $84,000 in IIT-JEE coaching services. Also, Seneca Global and
Abhay Bhagat donated IT and accounting services worth $4,000, bringing the real total to
$654,000. Of this amount, $508,000 was spent directly on the Dakshana Scholar IIT-JEE
Coaching Program and $146,000 comprised our corporate overhead. Let’s examine the scholar
expenses in a bit of detail.
During 2012, we delivered the equivalent of 398 scholar years of coaching at an average cost of
$1,276/year or $2,553/scholar.
Table 2. Dakshana Scholar Cost Data
Year Cost/Scholar Scholar Years
2007 $3,650 176
2008 $3,086 524
2009 $2,100 356
2010 $1,922 270
2011 $4,337* 219
2012 $2,553 398
*$2475 without construction
Corporate Overhead Expenses
Our corporate overheads in 2012 of $146,000 made up about 22% of our outlays. This seems
extraordinarily high relative to the spending on the scholars. It is high, but unlike many other
foundations, the Dakshana Scholar program is a direct program run by Dakshana. Many of these
so called “overhead expenses” are actually core to the program. For example, when our staff
makes frequent trips to the various JNV campuses, they are classified as overhead, but they are
100% focused on ensuring program and scholar success.
Page 8
We typically do not make grants to other non-profits. We’ve run these very labor and
management intensive programs ourselves. With staff and scholars spread across six remote
locations in India, the logistical overheads and costs are quite significant. It does involve
considerable travel, infrastructure and staff to execute. Also, it is hard to cut overheads below a
baseline. Nonetheless, as we scale up our scholar base, we do expect the overhead expenses to
become smaller portions of the pie.
This corporate overhead averaged out to $367/scholar in 2012. It was $580/scholar in 2011. The
drop in corporate overhead/scholar is, in part, due to the low number of scholars in 2011. As an
example, in 2012 we delivered 82% more scholar years of coaching than in 2011, but our
aggregate overheads increased by just 12%. As we scale up, the overhead/scholar will drop.
Our fully loaded cost (including corporate overhead and construction) was $2,920/scholar in
2012. This compares favorably with $4,917 in 2011. As we scale up and put the bulk of the
construction spending behind us in the next few years, I fully expect that our fully loaded per
scholar numbers may well be under $2,000 per scholar. However, it is likely to hover around
$3,000 for some time.
The Cost to Produce an IITian
While the direct and overhead costs to support a scholar matter, it is the cost to produce an IITian
that is the real benchmark that matters. It is the report card on how effective our spending and
give back endeavors truly are.

2012 $2,553 $367 $2,920 42% $7,000
*next year
The diligent reader will note that the aforementioned table has changed from previous years. We
had undercounted our IIT success rate (a good problem ). The IITs allow two attempts to pass
the IIT-JEE. Some of our scholars who do not make it the first time, try again a year later.
Sometimes scholars neglect to advise us of their 2nd
attempt results. Table 3 has been updated to
reflect the total numbers getting into IIT after both attempts – to the best of our knowledge.
Page 9
It used to cost Dakshana over $11,000 at the outset to get one scholar to IIT. This improved
dramatically over the years – all the way down to $3,700 in 2010. It appears we are heading
backwards in 2011 with costs rising to $7,000 to get a scholar into IIT. This is mostly due to
construction costs being fully expensed as incurred. In addition, as the numbers of scholars
dropped, our economies of scale vanished. I fully expect this all-in cost number to settle down at
under $5,000 as we scale up.
Dakshana’s Financial Health
From the outset, Harina and I have committed to give 2% of our net worth to Dakshana every
year as long as our net worth exceeds $50 million at the end of any given year. Based on this
formula, the amounts expected to give and actually given are as follows:

As one can glean, Harina and I have given nearly $0.9 million beyond our annual 2% threshold.
This “credit balance” we’ve been running with Dakshana will likely close in 2013.
Dakshana is in robust financial health. With the life-altering commitments we make to hundreds
of impoverished families and brilliant minds every year, it is important that we always maintain a
strong balance sheet.

Dakshana’s Wonderful Family of Donors
In 2009, fifteen brave souls sent over $32,000 to Dakshana. By 2010, gifts had more than tripled
to over $100,000. And with Prem’s generous pledge, 2011 gifts exceeded $1.25 million. In 2012,
gifts to Dakshana increased to a record $1.3 million from over 120 patrons.

I am pleased to report that these gifted funds were used to buy books, improve scholar nutrition,
create/improve classroom and dorm infrastructure, and pay for coaching services for our
scholars. Harina and I are grateful to our patrons for their generosity and wisdom.
And now, it’s time for a short commercial break. If you would like to make a gift to Dakshana,
please click on this link:
http://www.dakshana.org/donate/donate.asp
We accept all major credit cards and Paypal. You can also send us a check (in dollars or rupees).
And your gift is fully tax deductible. We can also set up automatic recurring monthly charges to
your credit card. $99 a month for 24 months fully supports one scholar. You can even pick the
scholar you’d like to support and we can arrange for interaction and meetings.
The Dakshana Endowment is Born
Virtually all of our donated funds sit in money market funds till deployed – and they are only
used for direct scholar expenses. We typically do not invest these funds. The exception to the
aforementioned has been to invest a sliver of donor funds in equities with the donor's permission.
A good example is proceeds from the annual lunch auctions.
The funds donated by Harina and me go into a separate account and do get invested in
marketable securities. All of Dakshana’s corporate overheads are paid out of this account.
In March, 2013, I spoke to students at Columbia Business School about Dakshana. Ruyintan
“Ron” Mehta, a Chemical Engineer and 1970 IIT Bombay alumnus, pitched an interesting idea
to me after the talk. Ron proposed giving $50,000 every year to Dakshana and have me invest it
and spend investment gains every year on Dakshana scholars. Kinda like an endowment.
I met with Ron in April in Irvine and we refined the concept further. We established a “Dakshana
Endowment Account” which was seeded with a very generous $50,000 contribution by Ron.
These funds are slated to be invested in marketable securities in a highly concentrated manner.
For example, we are presently nearly fully invested in 3 stocks. On December 31 of every year,
we’ll take 5% of the value of this account and move those funds to the Dakshana Donor account,
which only pays direct scholar expenses.
Page 15
Our donors now have a choice. They can have their contributions go into a money market
account and be used in fairly short order to support Dakshana scholars. Or, they can direct their
contributions to go to the endowment, where it will get invested and 5% of the endowment’s
value on December 31 of every year will move to the Direct Scholar Expense money market
account.
Ron’s perspective is that a $50,000 endowment fully supports at least one new Dakshana Scholar
every year into perpetuity. If investment returns exceed 5% a year, an increasing number of
Dakshana Scholars get supported every year over time. And when he adds the second $50,000, it
becomes at least two scholars a year and so on. Did I mention that Ron’s a IIT brainiac ?
Starting with next year’s annual report, we’ll provide some salient stats on how the endowment
is doing.
Ebay Lunch Auction
Our third annual lunch auction will be held in November, 2013 on Ebay. In the true spirit of a market-
driven auction, the bidding will start at $0.01 with no minimum. The winner will get my not-so-old
wallet as well. It is rumored that there may be a stock tip in there (again with no reps and warranties).
As an aside, I do know that both the 2011 and 2012 auction winners did act decisively on the little
note in the wallets they received. I suspect they will bid again. But folks, please don’t make it easy for
them. Your mission in life is to make the final winner truly pay up.
The guidelines remain the same. The winner can bring up to 7 folks with him/her. The lunch will take
place anywhere in Southern California, or in any of India’s metro cities, or a mutually agreeable
alternate location. Anything is fair game to discuss, except specific stocks. Of course, you can ask
about the stock tip. And I’ll personally pick up the tab.
Last year’s winner was (again!) Ray Faltinsky. Ray again “rounded up” the amount given to
Dakshana to $30,000 – well above the winning bid amount. I suspect Ray loaded up meaningfully on
the stock tip – and is quite happy. I had a wonderful lunch with Ray and his family and friends at the
Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa in Rancho Santa Fe, California.
Narendra Mulani subsequently called me and expressed regret at missing the auction. It coincided
with Hurricane Sandy and, quite understandably, he was distracted and forgot about the bidding for
the lunch. Nita and Narendra gifted $25,000 to Dakshana anyway and I met them and their son for a
wonderful dinner at Bukhara Grill in New York City. Bukhara is my favorite NYC restaurant. The
Adraki Champein (ginger lamb chops) at Bukhara are simply the best.
I had a great experience with these auctions in 2011 and 2012 and do plan to continue them. In
aggregate, these two generous auction winners contributed $55,000 to Dakshana in 2012 – every
dime of which went to support our scholars. If the winners agree, in future annual reports I’ll
provide pertinent data on how well the bidders did with these stock tips once they’ve exited the
positions.

Charity Auction of a Charlie Munger Bronze Bust
Last year we auctioned off a bronze bust of Charlie Munger on Ebay. Hemant Amin from Singapore
made the winning bid of $7,600. Hemant is thrilled to have Charlie available 24x7 keenly watching
over all his investment decisions and offering Mungerisms on demand! These beautiful bronze busts
were custom-made by one of India’s top bust makers. The bust is to scale, i.e. the same size as
Charlie’s head. Here is a picture:
http://www.dakshana.org/bigimage.asp?ID=404&yearid=2012
I thought we were out of busts, but then my good friend, John Mihaljevic, called me and offered to
donate one of his two Charlie busts to Dakshana. That bust is presently in Zurich, Switzerland.
We’ll auction the bust off on Ebay in November, 2013. Bidding will start at $0.01 with no reserve
price and includes shipping to anywhere on the planet. To the best of my knowledge these ultra-
limited edition busts are the only ones ever made of Charlie Munger – and there is just one of these
that is available for sale. Period. You can be the proud owner of this Charlie Munger bust and have
him watch over you. Plus you’ll be helping a great cause!
If you’re reading this report and we do not have your email address, please send it to me at
mpabrai@dakshana.org and we’ll get you the Ebay links for both of the auctions.
The Charles T. Munger Hall
A dream of mine, The Charles T. Munger Hall, is well on its way to becoming reality. The Munger
Hall is part of two “schools within a school.” We received official government approval for these
build-outs in 2012. These 360 student campuses are a significant upgrade to existing JNV facilities.
Dakshana will spend about $1 million and the government will spend $4 Million on the build-out. Did
I mention that I love our equal partner, the Government of India? Construction is at full swing at
Bengaluru and I am cautiously optimistic that we can inaugurate the facility in 2014. The Hyderabad
campus may be reality by 2015. I firmly believe that once we have these dedicated campuses up and
running, it will be a lot easier to get further approvals for more campuses. A picture is worth a
thousand words and a physical structure is worth a thousand pictures.
Online IIT Coaching
Avanti Fellows is an independent NGO that Dakshana has collaborated with for several years. In
2011, we picked 17 JNV scholars for online coaching by Avanti from the results of our selection test.
These 17 scholars were relocated to JNV Puducherry and Avanti collaborated with Vidya Mandir
division and provided online JEE Advanced coaching to these 17 scholars for two years. These 17
scholars got 100% of their coaching through a satellite link with Vidya Mandir in New Delhi.
Dakshana’s alumni at IIT Madras visited JNV Puducherry on weekends to work with these kids. The
results were spectacular. Six of these seventeen kids were accepted by the IITs – a 35% success rate.
And because Vidya Mandir essentially gifted their services, the costs were negligible.
Page 17
Dakshana is carefully studying the Avanti model and we hope to begin replicating it at a few locations
as soon as 2014. Everyone at Dakshana is quite excited about the possibilities here. The satellite based
delivery opens up virtually any campus as a possibility. We are zeroing in on those JNV campuses
that are in close proximity to an IIT or NIT, so our alums can serve as mentors to the scholars on
weekends. Stay tuned.
Off The Beaten Path – Visits to Dakshana Scholar Homes in Maharashtra and Karnataka
Every year, my daughter Monsoon and I set aside a few days to visit Dakshana’s alumni in their
homes in different parts of India. This year we focused on a few districts in Western Maharashtra and
Karnataka. Over the course of three days in July, we visited six Dakshana scholars and their families
in Pune, Kolhapur and Belgaum districts. The monsoon was on in all its glory, the Ghats were lush
green with an abundance of waterfalls everywhere. Monsoon and I just loved it. We have many fond
memories of overdosing on peanuts boiled in salt and turmeric. And the Poha served in the various
scholar homes was just heavenly.
In virtually every case, I was happy to note that Dakshana absolutely did the right thing by supporting
these scholars. A few families were in such dire straits that it was hard to take it all in. While it was not
as bad as Rajasthan and Haryana, I was surprised to see the pseudo-apartheid like conditions for some
scheduled caste families in Kolhapur district. Western Maharashtra is fairly industrialized and the
general standard of living is higher than many other parts of India. Nonetheless, there is plenty of
abject poverty and caste based discrimination that persists.
These trips serve up a wealth of learning and data – and Dakshana has gotten vastly better at its
mission as a result. These home visits are the highlight of my year. It has allowed me to see an
India I would never ever have gotten to visit if there wasn’t a Dakshana. I am so grateful for the
amazing richness Dakshana has added to my life. I am hoping to increase the scope and time
allocations of these visits in the years ahead.
The Amazing Dr. V and Aravind Eye Care System
A few months back I read an amazing book entitled Infinite Vision penned by Suchitra Shenoy and
Pavithra Mehta. The book drills down on the Aravind Eye Care system and its amazing founder, Dr.
Govindappa Venkataswamy or Dr. V. I was already familiar with Aravind and its unique business
model and greatly admired it. However, in hindsight, after reading the book, I knew virtually nothing
about Aravind. Once I started the book, I could not put it down. And after reading it, I requested
Colonel Sharma and Sharmila read it as well. They had the same reaction. The book has had a
profound impact on the three of us - and the likely trajectory of Dakshana in the future. To learn more,
on July 15, I visited Aravind in Madurai along with Sharmila. It would be an understatement to say
that I was blown away.
It is hard to encapsulate the book and its lessons in this brief missive, but I’ll give it a shot. Dr. V.
started Aravind Eye Care in 1976 at the ripe young age of 58. His objective was to cure preventable
blindness in India and around the world. There are about 45 million blind humans globally, 12 million
of which are in India. And 80% of those are needlessly blindly i.e. they can be cured. Of the 12
million blind in India, 7.5 million can be cured with simple cataract surgery. Dr. V. had the
Page 18
implausible goal of giving the gift of sight to those 7.5 million blind Indians. He was a retired army
ophthalmologist with virtually no resources. And he himself was stricken with rheumatoid arthritis, a
painful disease that had mangled his fingers and toes. Amazingly, he performed well over 100,000
successful eye surgeries with those mangled fingers.
Dr. V. came up with a number of innovations and practices towards his goal. He studied McDonald’s
kitchens and came away impressed that McDonald’s produced all these cheap and consistent meals
with no trained chefs! He thought the same could be applied to cataract surgery. At Aravind, there is
an army of highly trained nurses that do everything for which an eye surgeon is not needed. In each
Aravind operating theatre, there are four beds and two eye surgeons assisted by many nurses. One
patient is prepped while the surgeon operates on the other. As soon as he finishes, he moves to the
next patient and the 1st one is wheeled out and a new one is wheeled in and prepped. Aravind’s
surgeons do more than 2000 surgeries a year versus the US average of 125.
Aravind’s cost per cataract surgery is $75 versus the Indian average of over $220 and the US average
of well over $2,000. The surgery complication rate at Aravind is lower than pretty much any other
organization on the planet. Aravind offers its services for free or for $220 per cataract surgery. The
patient chooses whether to pay or avail free services! There is no means testing. The waiting room and
food etc. is superior if you choose the paid option. However, the surgeons and quality of medical care
is identical. Sixty percent of Aravind’s 450,000 annual eye surgeries are done for free. And the
organization takes no grants or donations, etc. The paying patients (who are simply paying a market
rate) not only effectively cover the cost of all the free surgeries, but Aravind ends up with substantial
sums left over every year – which are used to further scale the operations.
Aravind’s culture was very important to Dr. V. Most of the eye surgeons working at Aravind were
trained by Aravind. Aravind operates a formal program to train ophthalmologists and eye surgeons.
And they hone in on hiring and grooming the ones that buy into its mission. Aravind pays its doctors a
market wage, but they are vastly more productive, derive far greater professional satisfaction and are
singularly fixated on Dr. V’s vision.
It dawned on me as I read the Aravind story that there were many parallels with Dakshana. Aravind
needs great, dedicated eye surgeons for its model to work. And we need great JEE faculty for our
model to work. In fact we have a leg up on Aravind in our model as all the beneficiaries of
Dakshana’s largesse are engineers – and some of these IIT-trained engineers would make exceptional
teachers and faculty members. We are presently sending scores of Dakshana alums to IIT every year.
If we can hire and groom just 6 of these alums every year as JEE faculty, we will have the ability to
train thousands of JNV kids for the JEE by 2020. And when we are sending over 300-500 Dakshana
alums to IIT every year, it will be easy to identify 10-12 of them to join us every year. Like Aravind,
Dakshana will always endeavor to pay these alums a market wage.
But these Dakshana alums will not be joining us because the pay is good. They will only be coming
on because they are passionate teachers – and math, physics and chemistry whizzes. And most
importantly, they’d need to strongly believe in our mission and be fanatical about maximizing the
number of impoverished Dakshana scholars that are accepted by the IITs.
Page 19
Secondly, like eye surgery and McDonald’s, the process of training kids for the JEE can be broken
down and streamlined – leading to lower cost and greater success. Today, the going rate for 2 years of
JEE prep ranges from $2,000 to $5,000 per student. Dakshana’s present costs are closer to
$2,500/student. This can be reduced to under $750, without any drop in quality and outcomes by using
our own faculty and scaling up each location to 360 students. And these costs will drop even further
as online JEE coaching comes of age.
Today Dakshana begins its involvement with JNV kids in 11th standard. There are a number of things
Dakshana and the JNVs could do starting in 6th standard to maximize the odds of JNV kids going to
IIT. What if this intervention started in 6th standard through a series of low-cost school-level
initiatives? What if JNV students become intensely passionate about Math and Science at the age of
12? What if every JNV student understands that doing well at math and science correlates strongly
with discarding the shackles of poverty permanently? The possibilities are limitless.
While we have no plans to become self-funded like Aravind, at a $750 cost/student, that option
becomes available to Dakshana. In fact, Dakshana could offer JEE coaching to rich kids for $5,000
per student – with a 100% money back guarantee if the kid does not get accepted by the IITs. No other
coaching institute could make such an offer and stay in business. We’d have a long queue of folks
who would take us up on that. And we would make a serious amount of moola doing so – and fully
self-fund the entire Dakshana Scholar Program.

As can be gleaned, we had a 100% hit rate with the IITs with all four of our disabled being
accepted by the IITs. It indicates that we can give even more preference to the disabled in the
future (i.e. accept them with even lower test scores) and still have a decent success ratio. And as
discussed earlier, the real success rate is about 49%.

In 2010, we selected just 110 scholars for our JEE classroom coaching. After both allowed
attempts, 86 of these kids were accepted by the IITs – a success rate of over 78%. Everything
worked very well for this batch, including not being meaningfully affected by the new JEE
testing pattern.
Wonderful Leadership
With his specialty of artillery, our CEO, Colonel Ram Sharma, saw frontline action in three wars in
the Indian Army. He handled a myriad of assignments and successfully led thousands of men in tough
battlefield conditions. I am regularly surprised with the breath and depth of his leadership and abilities.
Like adopting the Super 30 model, bringing on Colonel Sharma is one of those very few brilliant
decisions that helped Dakshana become the success that it is. The Colonel is focused these days on
ensuring that his methods and best practices are institutionalized and deeply entrenched in Dakshana.
Page 22
Serving the nation selflessly as an Army officer for over three decades clearly wasn’t enough for him.
He continues to serve humanity in an incredible manner – and all for Rs. 1/year. Thank you Colonel. I
am truly grateful that our paths crossed and am enjoying this unique journey with you.
Dakshana has added a unique richness to the lives of all of us at Team Dakshana. I feel very
blessed to be a part of it.

*DAAN-DakshanA Alumni Network
You can fully support one Dakshana Scholar for just $3.25/day!
Over a two-year period, the cost of supporting a Dakshana Scholar is just $3.25 a day. For less than a cost of a latte at Starbucks, you can lift a family from poverty permanently and get the scholar accepted by IIT.
Dakshana or you can identify the specific scholar you are supporting. We will acknowledge your gift on the scholar’s
profile. Dakshana’s staff can arrange visits with the scholar at JNV as well. While the financial support would end after 2 years, the mentoring and guidance can continue for decades.
Dakshana will auto-bill your credit card once a month for $99. This will continue for 24 months. After 24 months, you
could choose to extend by selecting another scholar to support, if you so desire.
Dakshana Endowment
Dakshana also has an endowment account. You can select your gift to go into operating funds or our endowment. If
endowment is selected, 5% of the balance every year will be moved to the operating account. Endowment funds are managed by Mohnish Pabrai and are invested in equities in a very concentrated manner. The endowment helps your
dollars go further.
