We exist to bridge the opportunity gap
for The Emerging 3 Billion

We do this by emboldening entrepreneurs
or becoming one.

the 3 billion people we impact

A majority of the world's population, comprising 3 billion people are underserved. Earning between US$ 2 and US$ 8 a day, they lack access to transport, healthcare, energy, basic financial and other services. The Aavishkaar Group works at the nexus of the basic needs of these communities, and the businesses, governments, and systems that help them meet these needs.
