Vision & Mission

PolyPath is a new term coined to capture a new approach to life. A PolyPath is defined by three characteristics:

1] Pursuit of Poly (Multiple) Paths

A polypath pursues multiple paths in life passionately, vice versa identifies anything meaningful in their life as a path to integrate in their life (includes long-term projects, job, relationships, hobbies, side-hustles, ..)

2] Growth & Excellence

A polypath loves to learn, grow and excel on each path; sometimes also with the hope to contribute to the path.

3] Multi-dimensional Identity

Polypaths consider their identity to be defined by multiple facets and feel the need to engage with a subset of them at any phase in life to make them feel whole.

Vision

A world where individuals are empowered to pursue and grow on multiple paths, and embrace their unique identity to lead fulfilling lives!

Mission

To inspire and support individuals in embracing their inner PolyPath by:

  • Providing Vocabulary for people who do not like to be boxed in a singular label, rather identify anything meaningful in their lives as a path they want to get better at.

  • Shifting cultural narratives to celebrate multidimensional approach to life, and challenge the notion that specialization is the only path to success.

  • Providing resources and education that helps individuals explore and embrace a polypathic lifestyle

  • Cultivating a community of PolyPaths that provides belonging and inspiration 

PolyPaths is conceptualized and led by Apoorvaa Deshpande, who herself identifies as a polypath.
