Our Purpose

Empowering the Purposeful Ambitious Intentional Motivated Heart s

Empowering the Purposeful Fearless Sustainable Unseen Hearts

India’s MSMEs power almost 30% of our GDP. Yet, over 40,000 of them shut down this year - not for lack of effort, but for lack of innovation. We believe the answer is affordable innovation, and we’re here to help visionaries build it.
Fewer than 2 in 10 people in India’s factories are women. We believe that number should change, and we’re working to change it.
Over 90% of the world’s resources are used once and then wasted. We back innovators who flip that story - with green products, new materials, and ideas that outlast the problem.
80% of India’s youth are from Tier 2, 3, and 4 towns. They carry talent in abundance, but rarely the backing to match.We make sure these innovators are seen, and supported.
