THE CHALLENGE
India needs 100 million new livelihoods by 2030.
Agriculture has long stopped absorbing the growing workforce. There is a need of a thriving ecosystem that promotes entrepreneurship. Micro entrepreneurs exist everywhere around us — but weak documentation, poor access to finance, and limited mentorship keep them stuck. Udyamie bridges that gap.
HOW UDYAMIE WORKS
A three-pillar model for lasting enterprise growth.
Entrepreneurs receive one-to-one coaching, fortnightly field reviews, in person workshops and real business support — not just a classroom training
Organizations as Incubators
Grassroots organizations are trained to function as local incubators — facilitative, inclusive, vernacular, and hyper-local.
Continuous Mentoring
Enthusiastic and dedicated field officers undergo rigourous action-reflection-theory pedadogy to play anchoring roles.
Ecosystem Building
We foster a platform that enables the entrepreneurs to connect to each other, share resources, skills and best practices.
BEHIND THE SCENE
"Livelihoods are not just about income, they are about dignity, agency, and the ability to shape one’s own future. Over the years, I have seen that when local entrepreneurs grow, entire communities move forward with them. Udyamie was born to nurture that journey - helping grassroots entrepreneurs become stronger, more confident, and truly self-reliant."
