“If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it, even if I may not have it at the beginning.” – Mahatma Gandhi From the Dandi March to the spinning wheel, Gandhiji embodied the mindsets of an entrepreneur: trying new things, self-awareness, grit, and independence. These are the qualities integral to building an entrepreneurial Bharat! 💪🇮🇳 #GandhiJayanti #Entrepreneurship #Udhyam #EntrepreneurialMindset #MakingBharatEntrepreneurial

#StoriesofChange | Food Vendor Rame Gowda shares - "In seventh grade, I found myself working in restaurants, doing everything from kitchen duties to cleaning floors. By the time I reached my teens, I had transitioned to the transport business. Things were looking up until COVID-19 hit, turning my world upside down. Uncertainty loomed large, but I knew I had to pivot back to my true passion - food. Cooking had always been my solace, the way I showed love to my family and friends. So, three years ago, with trembling hands and a heart full of hope, I decided to start a food business on the footpath. My resources were limited, and my fears were many, but I believed in the magic of my cooking. To my astonishment, my little venture quickly became a neighbourhood favourite. Seeing people relish my food felt like a blessing. I had no idea about the power of selling food online until Udhyam Vyapaar stepped in. They guided me through the process of getting my business on Swiggy and Zomato. Suddenly, my reach expanded beyond my wildest dreams. My sales doubled, and my humble footpath business transformed into a thriving enterprise. It wasn’t just the fear of failure that I overcame; it was the realisation that I had the courage to take risks and believe in my abilities. With Udhyam Vyapaar’s mentorship, I now see endless possibilities for my business. Today, I stand proud as a successful entrepreneur, proof that with passion, belief, and the right support, dreams do come true." #MakingBharatEntrepreneurial #Entrepreneurship #Vyapaar #FoodVendor #OrderFoodOnline #Swiggy #Zomato

Our youth entrepreneurship initiative in Nagpur is making waves!

While funding remains important, on-ground translation for each region is the true "last-mile hurdle" for reaching communities such as nano-entrepreneurs. Our Co-founder, Krishnan Ranganathan, explores this in a must-watch video. Check it out #SocialImpact #UnityinDiversity

Funding is a hurdle indeed, but language is the bigger mountain for India's social sector! In a country as diverse as India, scaling social impact programs hinges on one crucial factor: overcoming the language barrier. #NanoEntrepreneurs #India #Language #NGOs #Funders
