Driving Transformative Impact Regionally Through Entrepreneurship of Marginalized Youth

Driving Transformative Impact Regionally Through Entrepreneurship
of Marginalized youth

At Aavishkaar Foundation we believe that unleashing the bottled spirit of entrepreneurship among unemployed and marginalized youth will have transformative impact across low income regions of India and accelerate economic and social inclusion.

We believe that empowered, ethical, curious and morally trained youth entrepreneurs can deliver jobs, livelihoods and impact through  business intervention. They can become catalysts for change, inspiring others to participate in alleviating poverty, reducing vulnerabilities and transforming the region’s income equity and prosperity. The foundation pilot intervention is directed towards Eastern Uttar Pradesh.

Five Pronged Intervention Strategy

INSPIRE

INSTITUTIONALIZE

Monitoring, Measurement and Reporting

The objective of Aavishkaar Foundation is to create a vibrant and supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem in the marginalized states of India. 

The foundation follows the Aavishkaar Impact Measurement and Monitoring Framework which includes benchmarking at the outset, a projection of the estimated impact of the intervention, and finally an annual report on actual impact outputs and outcomes.
