How It works

Swayam is a pioneer in peer-to-peer social investing. We offer ordinary people the opportunity to become angel investors in the education of talented students, in exchange for a share of their future income. Under the terms of the Swayam Fellowship offered to students, they return a pre-specified percentage of their income over a fixed number of years to Swayam, upon graduating and entering the job market. Swayam channels these funds back to the Angels who invested in these students’ education, as returns on their investment.
