Invested in Communities

Digital Skilling of Rural Women
Entrepreneurs

To help women from underserved communities in building digital skills as part of our ‘Digital First, Digital Now’ agenda and sharpening business acumen, we partnered with NASSCOM Foundation for our “Support Rural Women Entrepreneurship project” to empower Rural women artisans through resources, guidance and growth opportunities. Training program for the first cohort was completed successfully last year empowering 150 women artisans from Bagh, Madhya Pradesh. We continued the momentum and started skilling another set of 176 rural women artisans from Maheshwari district and the training program is currently underway and scheduled to complete by end of this year. This initiative creates a favourable environment for women to start and expand their businesses essentially bridging the gender gap in entrepreneurship and also to improve their family income and position themselves as community role models. We have contributed INR 14,55,641 for this initiative.
