Nudging Talent to Solve Underserved Problems

The deficit of talent, capital and public attention plagues some areas of the development sector far more than others. Areas where the need for solutions is most acute, unfortunately, attract the lease investments. We have therefore made a strategic choice to invest in category building activities in areas where India has underperformed against our sustainable development goals

We expect to leverage inducement prizes as means to nudge talent in future. 

Nurturing Nonprofit Entrepreneurs

The base of the economic pyramid has remained out of the reach of market based models. We believe that nonprofits, with their singular focus on impact, are uniquely positioned to alleviate extreme poverty. Our support to early stage nonprofits has kickstarted exceptional entrepreneurs on their journey towards meaningful impact at scale.

Model stories

Social Change

Nonprofits in our portfolio have successfully effected social and behaviour change by changing the attitudes, perceptions, and practices around health and hygiene to enable individuals, families, and communities to increase control over and improve their life outcomes.

Systems Change

Sustainable change in public systems takes more than a new law or policy. It requires alignment of purpose with all stakeholders and orchestration of the change across various levels of administration and execution.

Societal Platforms

Technology platforms have the ability to amplify existing human capacity and intent. And when used thoughtfully, they  can strengthen programs, distribute choice, and accelerate scale.

Implementations at Scale

Models that are simple enough, cheap enough, and effective enough can scale through replication. Several of our incubates started small but have successfully grown their impact.
