What Drives Us

Our IVRS-based pilot, Hunarbaaz, is an award winning interactive audio platform (initiated during peak COVID-19 as Call-a-Kahaani), designed to enable rural and tribal communities to build entrepreneurial skills through vernacular workbooks and a phone based community!

It showed how the right content and support can empower those with limited resources to turn challenges into opportunities, increasing rural entrepreneurship uptake!
