MICROENTERPRISE INCUBATION
Building enterprises.
Rooting livelihoods in the heart of India.Udyami in Sanskrit refers to a person who is industrious, diligent, and hardworking. We work with nano and micro entrepreneurs in underserved geographies — helping them grow stable, aspirational businesses through context-sensitive grassroots incubation.
THE CHALLENGE
India needs 100 million new livelihoods by 2030.
Agriculture has long stopped absorbing the growing workforce. There is a need of a thriving ecosystem that promotes entrepreneurship. Micro entrepreneurs exist everywhere around us — but weak documentation, poor access to finance, and limited mentorship keep them stuck. Udyamie bridges that gap.
Udyamie is the enterprise incubation program of Grassroutes Journeys.
Since 2009, Grassroutes has created livelihoods at scale through community-rooted enterprise models across rural India.
