What we do

A three-step path from idea to enterprise.

Most women in our communities have the will and the skill - what they lack is institutional backing. Jeevika Saathi+ closes that gap with a structured, high-touch programme refined across 8 Indian states.

01

Train

Entrepreneurship, financial & digital literacy modules built for first-time business owners.

02

Equip

Need-based material support - sewing machines, ovens, salon kits, mills and more.

03

Handhold

Sustained mentoring, monitoring and a Mini Shark Tank pitch journey.

Why this matters

The economy still leaves women behind. We're closing that gap, one entrepreneur at a time.

Despite contributing nearly half the labour force, women own only a sliver of India's enterprises - and most operate informally without capital, training or networks.

14%
of India's enterprises are women-owned
~90%
of women-led businesses operate informally
