This program invites applications from startups building scalable, high-impact AI and technology-enabled solutions that strengthen women’s livelihoods in India. The initiative focuses on improving income growth, access to capital, and market linkages for women workers and micro-entrepreneurs operating in sectors where livelihoods remain fragile and impact at scale is critical.
The program specifically supports innovations targeting women in agriculture, informal work, the gig economy, and care services. Selected startups receive comprehensive support beyond funding, including long-term mentoring, access to markets, partnerships with large-scale delivery players, and opportunities to pilot and scale solutions across underserved and low-income geographies.
By combining financial support with ecosystem access and implementation partnerships, the program aims to enable startups to deploy proven, technology-driven solutions that can meaningfully improve economic participation and resilience for women at scale.
