Aim — Aims to create economic activity at rural level by providing support to small and micro enterprises which are socially beneficial commercially viable and environmental friendly.

More information — Aavishkaar aims to harness the entrepreneurial spirit at the bottom of the pyramid to create inclusive economic development. We seek to empower disadvantaged and rural communities through infusion of commercial activities. Typically entrepreneurs who operate at the lower end of the economic spectrum are overlooked by financiers as they are categorized as being too small and risky.

We believe that not only do these entrepreneurs have potential to create widespread impact on local communities through boosting local production and creating livelihood opportunities but also provide attractive commercial returns. We at Aavishkaar have taken it upon ourselves to be the leaders of micro equity investments to create scalable small entrepreneurs with significant social impact.

Sectors — Agriculture&Food, Development, Energy, Water & Utilities, Healthcare, ICT, Telecom &technology, Services.
