Purpose is Your Superpower
Everyone deserves a chance to believe in themselves – that’s what the Hack4Purpose platform stands for. It’s where real problems meet untapped talent, creating meaningful impact that drives sustainable development.
DPurpose Grant
The DPurpose Grant fuels transformation by supporting ideas that deserve to become reality. Through our yearly or biennial Hack4Purpose event, we provide milestone-based grants of up to ₹5 lakhs to help innovators take their ideas from concept to prototype.
MSME & Industry Problem Solving
We bridge the gap between industry challenges and grassroots innovation by gathering real-world problem statements through one-on-one dialogues with MSMEs. These challenges are then tackled by bright student talent from Tier 2, 3, and 4 regions — solving local problems with local solutions.

Women in Sales
Sales remains one of the most in demand yet often avoided professions. However, when women lead in sales—especially within manufacturing sectors—the results are transformative. Women bring empathy, clarity, and persistence, driving stronger relationships and measurable revenue growth. Inspired by China’s thriving women-led sales ecosystem, we aim to unlock similar potential to strengthen industries and uplift the economy.
Women in Welding
Traditionally viewed as a male-dominated “mafia” industry, welding and fabrication have long struggled with high wage demands, inconsistent work ethics even by extension misdemeanor. Women—known for their precision, patience, and sincerity—possess the very traits that define excellence in this field. Through structured training and safe work environments, we champion the entry of women into the manufacturing workforce, equipping them with high-demand skills such as laser welding, a critical capability for the future of industry.
Innovation Skilling
Innovation is not just about ideas—it’s about turning them into impact. We focus on innovation skilling programs that enable individuals to design, develop, and deliver real-world solutions through structured, milestone-based learning. From problem identification to prototype creation, our programs build systemic thinking, adaptability, and purpose-driven creativity, empowering innovators to transform challenges into opportunities.

Patent to Purpose
The Patent to Purpose framework establishes a structured pathway for patent analysis, validation, and commercialization. The process ensures that all stakeholders are fully informed and legal obligations are met before advancing into experimentation, certification, or production—depending on the maturity of the product or technology. This initiative bridges the gap between intellectual property and practical implementation, unlocking value from innovation.
