Covid19 is becoming an old memory now and while some of us are building our “new normal” lives, thousands are still experiencing the aftermath, especially related to livelihoods. In fact, loss of livelihood has been identified as the second most immediate threat in the world.

India has always been an entrepreneurial economy and even today, more than half of India’s population is involved in entrepreneurship, especially micro-entrepreneurship. Yet, lately, most conversations are focused on “fast-growing” tech start-ups. This isn’t bad except that there is a HUGE gap and an URGENT need to talk about inclusive and proactive entrepreneurship related to our rich culture, history, heritage and evolution.

This challenge is an effort to contribute to building pathways to restore livelihoods and tackle unemployment and underemployment.
