Setu — Corporate Change-maker Screener

Setu means “the bridge.” This is for corporate and professional people who want to serve the Rebuild India ecosystem while keeping their day job — leveraging your skills, your network and your systems-thinking to help rebuild the country. A short first reflection to help us understand you.

Stage 1 of 2 · Screener · approx. 15–20 minutes

What this is. A structured self-reflection that helps ARISE understand your strengths, your fit with our values, and how your professional skills might serve the country. It is not a pass/fail exam, an IQ test, or a clinical screen. There are no “trick” right answers — answer as you truly are; the profile is only useful if it is true.

How results are used. Your responses build a profile that, at most, flags for a human conversation — never a pass/fail, and never an automatic rejection. A questionnaire never decides anything on its own; a trained ARISE reviewer always looks, and where relevant, talks with you.

Privacy (DPDP). Only trained ARISE reviewers see your responses. Data is stored securely in line with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act; we collect the minimum needed. You may ask what we hold, request correction, or withdraw at any time by writing to the ARISE assessment desk. We do not screen for mental illness; wellbeing questions are positive only.

About you

A little context so we can read your responses fairly.

Self-reflection

Use the 5-point scale from Strongly disagree to Strongly agree. There are no right or wrong answers.

1. I keep my energy up through the workweek with regular sleep, food and movement.

2. I enjoy learning something new even when no one is making me.

3. When a plan fails, I bounce back within a day or two.

4. I stay calm and civil even when a colleague is unfair to me.

5. People at work come to me when something needs to get organised.

6. I often let small frustrations at work spill onto other people.

7. My work feels connected to something larger than my salary.

8. When I see a broken process at work, I look for the root cause, not just a quick patch.

9. I would speak up about a wrong practice even if it made a senior uncomfortable.

10. I finish what I start, even after the initial excitement fades.

11. I find it hard to keep going when a task gets boring.

12. I can usually find a way to do a lot with very little — the honest kind of jugaad.

13. I would rather be useful to others than be praised by them.

14. New or uncertain situations make me anxious enough that I avoid them.

15. I look for chances to improve how my team works, not only my own tasks.

17. I can explain my point clearly to people who disagree with me.

18. I believe my abilities can grow substantially with effort and good feedback.

19. I already know most of what I need to know; there is little left for me to learn.

20. Serving people I will never meet again still feels worth my time.

21. I notice opportunities that others walk past.

22. If a shortcut saved time but bent a rule, I would usually take it.

23. I take responsibility when something I led goes wrong, without blaming others.

24. I can bring different people around a shared goal.

25. I have a clear sense of the values I will not trade away.

Same 5-point scale, Strongly disagree to Strongly agree.

31. I have never once been irritated by a colleague.

33. Please select “Disagree” for this line so we know the form is being read carefully.

What happens next: a trained ARISE reviewer reads your responses. Whatever your result, this is a starting point, not a verdict — it can only flag you for a human conversation, never an automatic rejection. ARISE requests no payment on this site.
