Dear Friends:
Dakshana successfully completed its 10th full year of operations in 2016. Since inception in 2007, the
IITs have accepted 1,589 Dakshana Scholars (out of a total universe of 2,505 Dakshana Scholars) a
success rate of 63.43%. Not too shabby considering that the IITs accept under 2% of applicants. In
2017, out of 461 Dakshana Scholars who were prepared for the test, 391 made it a success rate of
85%. Not only was this our largest batch ever, the results are the best ever for Dakshana!
(Over the last fifty years) if you took our top fifteen decisions out,
wed have a pretty average record.
- Charlie Munger
Five Great Decisions
Ive made innumerable bad decisions for Dakshana since inception. Thankfully, we've also made five
great decisions over the last eleven years. These were:
1. Committing to give away 2% of wealth annually at the age of 42. (2006)
2. Cloning Anand Kumars Super 30 model. (2007)
3. Partnering with the JNV System/Government of India. (2007)
4. Bringing on Colonel Ram Sharma as CEO. (2009)
5. Acquiring Dakshana Valley for $10 million. (2013)
These five great decisions have trumped all the bad ones. Dakshana's model of alleviating poverty and
unleashing the tremendous lost talent in rural India has been successful beyond my wildest dreams. The
fifth decision was an especially hard one when we made it in 2013. We stretched bigtime to make it
happen. Out of the $20 million or so that Dakshana has spent over the last decade, the Dakshana Valley
purchase represents half the pie. And it will likely absorb tens of millions of capex in the years ahead.
You stuck to your principles and when opportunities came along,
you pounced on them with vigour.
- Charlie Munger
Today the Dakshana Valley purchase looks like a no-brainer. Without it we could not embark on several
of our new initiatives that will be central to our relevance in the decades ahead. It is the bedrock on
which well grow and scale Dakshana.
These are the realities of life and investing as well. A few great decisions are likely to trump a number
of bad ones.

Dakshana Begins Medical College Coaching
Over the years, several of our scholars changed their minds and decided their true calling was to be
doctors rather than engineers. The admission process for medical school in India is similar to
engineering. Admission is based on performance in competitive exams after high school. The only
difference is that while the IIT entrance exams focus on Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics (PCM),
the medical entrance exams focus on Physics, Chemistry and Biology (PCB). In the past, several of our
scholars studied Biology on their own, did well in the medical entrance exams and went on to become
great docs. Weve had cases where some of our gifted kids have gotten top ranks in the IIT entrance
exams and secured admission in some of the countrys best medical schools as well.
In 2016, Dakshana formally started coaching for medical school at Dakshana Valley. We accepted 69
scholars for our first one-year medical coaching batch. Out of these 69, at least 60 will get offered a seat
at a government medical college in India. The remaining 9 did well enough so that theyll be offered a
dental school seat and might get a medical school seat as well. It is an outstanding success rate. The
scholars, faculty and Dakshana management all worked incredibly hard to get these results.
In India, becoming doctors is of more interest to high school girls than becoming engineers. And, at
Dakshana, we believe we are doing far more social justice when we support a girl versus a boy. It was
thus a no-brainer to add medical coaching. Out of these 69 medical Dakshana scholars, 15 were girls.
We ended up with 22% girls versus a more typical 10% or lower number on the engineering side. More
importantly, 13 out of the 15 girls did well enough to be guaranteed a medical college seat.
The subsidy offered by the Government of India for medical schools is even higher than for the IITs.
Annual out-of-pocket costs for tuition, room and board at state-funded medical schools in India ranges
from $150-400/year. Even this can be a daunting sum for our scholars, and weve helped arrange loans
and grants through partner NGOs to ensure that our scholars face no financial hurdles.
One of our female scholars in this first batch was Ms. Sadiqa Mehroon from Kargil district in the state
of Jammu & Kashmir. Her village is a stones throw from the Line of Control, the defacto border
between India and Pakistan. It is one of the most militarized borders on the planet where periodic
artillery fire is the norm. Her village has no doctors. The closest hospital is hours away. Sadiqa hopes
to return to her village after medical school and change the desolate healthcare situation in her
community. Sadiqas mother is illiterate and her father is a farmer earning less than $80/month. We, at
Dakshana, hope to unleash all the talent and drive of tens of thousands of Sadiqas in the years ahead to
help fix India.
Dakshana Valley: The Best Place on the Planet for IIT and Medical Entrance Exam Coaching!
In 2016, we also accepted 60 scholars for IIT entrance exam coaching at Dakshana Valley. 58 of these
60 scholars cracked the exam a success rate of 97%! We also had 10 scholars return for an additional
year of coaching in preparation for their 2nd attempt at the JEE at Dakshana Valley. Of these 10
repeaters, 100% of them cracked the exam. Spread over 109 acres with two valleys, five lakes and
dozens of acres of orchards, Dakshana Valley offers very few distractions for scholars. They have
world-class faculty, classrooms, dorms and nutritious meals provided to them. It is, in my opinion, the
best place on the planet to prepare for the IIT and medical entrance exams.
Page 3
When Dakshana does coaching at most JNVs, we have very limited control beyond faculty and scholar
selection. At Dakshana Valley, Colonel Sharma and his amazing team control virtually every facet of
the program. The Colonel does not believe in cutting corners. He and his able team have worked hard
to provide scholars with an environment that maximizes their odds of success. It has worked vastly
better than I ever imagined.
In 2016, Dakshana Valley hosted 139 scholars. That number will nearly double in 2017 and we intend
to keep increasing capacity till we are well past hosting 1000-1500 scholars at any given time at
Dakshana Valley. The scaling at Dakshana Valley is almost limitless and we intend to fully tap its
potential in the decades ahead.
Cloning the Charles T. Munger Hall
The Charles T. Munger Hall and most of its associated buildings were commissioned in 2016. It took
five years to build from the time I originally proposed it to the Government of India as a win-win public-
private partnership. A picture is worth a thousand words and a structure is worth a thousand pictures.
After Senior JNV and Ministry of Human Resources Development (MHRD) officials visited the Hall,
they got super excited to rapidly clone it. It is truly a marvelous facility.
JNV Pune has been chosen as the next Center of Excellence. The Government of India works on
precedence. New initiatives are hard to get off the ground (as we saw with the 5-year Munger Hall
gestation period). However, once a precedent is established, it goes a lot faster. The government is telling
us that they intend to have the Pune center ready in 2019. And they intend to do several more in the
years ahead. The government has also told us that future centers will be developed 100% with taxpayer
rupees (!!). However, they want us to fully manage the architectural design, scholar selection and
coaching of scholars at all centers. Our preferred architect, Mr. Sandeep Kohli, is designing these future
centers.
In 2011, we proposed to the government that wed spend $300,000 and the government would spend
$2 million on developing the first Center of Excellence (Munger Hall and related buildings) in an
innovative public-private partnership without precedent. Each new center will cost $3-4 million and
there are plans to do a half a dozen such centers. The $300,000 investment by Dakshana in Munger Hall
may eventually be matched 60:1 by the government as they eventually spend $25-30 million on these
future centers of excellence. I love our equal partnership with the Government of India!

We have nearly fully paid off the $10 million Dakshana Valley purchase price. We intend to clear
the last of the payments in 2018. Once we have paid off the Valley in full, it will open up
considerable funds to embark on increasing capacity at Dakshana Valley and scaling up.
Direct Scholar Expenses
In 2016, we spent $1,161,500 on the Dakshana Scholar Program and related corporate overhead.
In addition, T.I.M.E donated about $25,900 in IIT coaching services. Also, Abhay Bhagat donated
IT and accounting services worth $2,000 plus the Government Hospital at Chandoli donated about
$225 in free medical care, bringing the real total to $1,189,625. Of this amount, $825,975 was
spent directly on the Dakshana Scholar Coaching Program and $363,650 comprised of our
corporate overhead. Lets examine the scholar expenses in a bit of detail.
During 2016, we delivered the equivalent of 761 scholar years of JEE & NEET coaching. Of this
number, 108 scholar years were for the 1-year program and 653 scholar years for the 2-year
program. Both ended up costing us about $2,171/scholar because in the case of the 1-year scholars,
room and board approximates $1,085/year.
Page 5
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 $2,475 219
2012 $2,553 398
2013 $2,450 576
2014 $2,053 689
2015 $2,516 676
2016 $2,171 761
We delivered more scholar years of coaching in 2016 than in any previous year. Dakshana has
historically been constrained in its growth based on seats available at various JNV campuses. Now
with Dakshana Valley, we are able to plan our growth. Dakshana Valleys student count for the
2017-18 year is around 250 an 80% increase over 2016-17.
With Dakshana Valleys growth and the additional centers of excellence coming on stream in the
next few years, the super stretch goal of 2020 in 2020 is likely to get realized, albeit in the early
2020s.
Corporate Overhead Expenses
Our corporate overheads in 2016 of $363,650 made up about 24% of our outlays (including our
construction expenses). 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.
We typically do not make grants to other non-profits. We run these very labor and management
intensive programs ourselves. With staff and scholars spread across eight 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 overhead below a baseline. Nonetheless,
as we scale up our scholar base, we do expect the overhead expenses to become smaller portions
of the pie.
Page 6
Our fully loaded cost (including corporate overhead and excluding construction) was
$2649/scholar in 2016. For the forseeable future, a good rule of thumb for Dakshana is to assume
direct scholar expenses in the $2,000 to $2,500 range and overhead expenses in the $250 to $500
range, leading to a $2,250 to $3,000 fully loaded cost per scholar.
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.

2016 $2,171 $478 $2,649 85% $3,116 *next year
**Med School Training began in 2016
It used to cost Dakshana over $11,500 to get one scholar to IIT. This improved dramatically over
the years all the way down to $3,116 in 2016 for scholars qualifying for IIT or Medical School
our lowest cost ever. Further, most of the 15% that didnt make it to IIT are heading to pretty
respectable institutions like the NITs etc.
Dakshanas costs to get the average scholar to an IIT or medical school are coming down, just as
I had envisioned at the outset. The variables that drive this are direct scholar costs, corporate
overhead and our success rate. We are working hard to optimize the first two variable while trying
to maximinize the all important last one. The team delivered in spades in 2016.

Dakshanas Financial Health
From the outset, Harina and I 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:

Dakshana is in the very best financial shape it has ever been in. By 2018, well have completely
paid off the last of the Dakshana Valley purchase. Weve fully paid for and have the Charles T.
Munger Hall up and running. And we have an endowment that is valued at around $700,000. As a
result of the significant capex and love that has been poured into creating world-class infrastructure
at Dakshana Valley over the last few years, it is worth considerably more than what we paid for it.
Dakshanas Wonderful Family of Donors
We had over $1.22 million in donations from our generous donors, with the Watsa family
contributing $1 million. Every dollar matters and we are very grateful to our wonderful group of

I am pleased to report that these gifted funds were used to buy books, improve scholar nutrition,
create/improve classroom and dorm infrastructure, pay for coaching services for our scholars and, most
importantly, fund a part of the Dakshana Valley purchase. Harina and I are grateful to our patrons for
their generosity and wisdom.
And now, its time for a short commercial break. With the home runs we are trying to hit, our
needs are enormous. We need your support now more than ever before. You can make a gift to
Dakshana by clicking/typing in 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 US dollars, Canadian
dollars or Indian rupees). And your gift is fully tax deductible. We can also set up automatic
recurring monthly charges to your credit card. $99 or C$130 a month for 24 months fully supports
one scholar. You can even pick the scholar youd like to support and we can arrange for interaction
and meetings.
Donate your Beater Car. Well even pick it up!
Through our partnership with Action Donation Services (www.actiondonation.org), Dakshana
can accept donations of cars, boats, RVs, and other property donations anywhere in the United
States. It is simple. You get a tax deduction. ADS picks up the vehicle (even if does not
start!). Please call Action Donation Services at +1.866.244.8464, or us at +1.949.453.0609, or
email Lynn Dann ([email protected]) for more information.
The donated item will be picked up from a location of your choice at a time of your choosing at
no cost to you. You will receive the maximum legal tax deductions and possibly a partial cash
payment. This is a great way to get rid of that beater car and help a great cause!
Investment Gains
Unless donor funds are specifically designated by the giver to go into the Dakshana Endowment
or given as part of our various auctions, they are kept in cash/money market and are spent
throughout the year on various direct scholar expenses. We ended 2016 with about $30,700 of
such donor funds in cash/money market. Contributions to Dakshanas Endowment usually get
invested in equities and about 5% of the endowment account value at year-end is spent on scholar
expenses.
Funds given by the Pabrai Family, Dakshanas Endowment or funds donated as part of the auctions
are usually invested in public equities. We ended 2016 with about $695,000 invested in a few
public equities. Our realized and unrealized gains in 2016 were about $40,000. It is a wonderful
result.

In 2016, my value as a lunch companion was marked down considerably an 80% drop from 2015! I
hope to provide better company and a better wallet this year! Our seventh annual lunch/conference call
auctions will be held in November 2017 on Ebay. In the true spirit of market-driven auctions, the bidding
will start at $0.01 for both, with no minimum. The lunch auction 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).
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 New York, or in any of Indias metro cities, or another
mutually agreeable alternate location. Anything is fair game to discuss, except specific stocks. Of
course, you can ask about the stock tip. And Ill personally pick up the tab.
A few years back we started auctioning off an annual conference call with me with all proceeds going
to Dakshana. The difficulty with the lunch auction is that meals can only take place in limited
geographies. The conference call format allows anyone from anywhere on the planet to bid and
participate.

which will be arranged at a mutually agreeable time, can have up to 7 participants. I will give a stock
tip on the call (with no reps or warranties!) and will answer any questions related to that stock tip (or
anything else the participants would like to discuss). The only topic off limits at both auctions is
discussions on any current portfolio holdings (other than the stock tip).
The Dakshana Endowment
In 2013, at the suggestion of Advisory Board member Ruyintan Ron Mehta, we started the
Dakshana Endowment. Dakshanas donors now have a choice. They can designate their
contributions to be used immediately on our Dakshana Scholar program or it can go into the
endowment. Funds in the endowment are invested in a highly concentrated manner and managed
by yours truly. And at the end of every year, 5% of the endowments value is spent towards the
Dakshana Scholar program.
Ron seeded the endowment with a generous $50,000 contribution. The cost to support one scholar
is approximately $2,000-2,500 and Ron figured that right off the bat, the endowment would be
able to fully support at least one new scholar completely every year.

2016 Dakshana Endowment Overview (in US$)
Cash and Marketable Securities on 12/31/15: $ 645,248
Contributions by Donors: $ 47,495
Spending on Dakshana Scholar Program: ($ 38,800)
Investment Gain (Loss): $ 39,587
Cash and Marketable Securities on 12/31/16: $ 693,530
We also directed all the proceeds from the various auctions to the endowment. I am very pleased to
report that the lunch and conference calls led to over $400,000 being added to the endowment account
over the last four years. We estimated (and slightly overspent) our expected 5% in 2016 and will fix that
in 2017. The good news is that the endowment is off to a robust start and is already able to support at
least seventeen scholars a year into perpetuity. I fully expect that the endowment will support a growing
number of scholars every year.
Table 9. Endowment Scholars Fully Supported
As a Dakshana supporter, you can elect whether your contributions go into our endowment or are to be
spent soon after we receive the same. Only funds explicitly specified as for the endowment go in there.

Our Coaching Partners and Faculty
Over the years weve worked with many coaching institutes as well. Many let us down and we no
longer work with them. However, a few of them have delivered in spades and these relationships
have deepened over time. They include Gravity, Resonance Eduventures, Rao Academy and
T.I.M.E. We have consistently had trouble with doing the coaching ourselves with our own faculty.
Weve learnt a lot over the years and are getting better at it. In-house faculty and our alums as
faculty will be increasing significantly in the years ahead.
The Team
One of the better decisions Ive made in my life is bringing on Colonel Ram Sharma as the CEO
of Dakshana in 2009. He did make it easy for me by offering to work for Rs. 1/year. The Colonel
in turn has nurtured and groomed a wonderful team that includes Commander Arun Mishra, our
Chief Academics Officer, and Ms. Sharmila Pai, our COO. They are supported by dozens of active
volunteers and team members.
Weve learnt a lot in the last ten years. Plenty of arrows in the back. However, a wonderful foundation
has been set for Dakshana to bloom in the years ahead. We are just getting started. The best is yet to
come!
