3. What Sets Sankalp Apart?
Inclusive.
No other convening in the region
brings together such diverse
stakeholders where grassroots
entrepreneurs can interact with global
DFIs, investors, intermediaries,
government representatives and so
many more.
Entrepreneur-Centric.
At the heart of Sankalp is always the
entrepreneur. Our philosophy centers
around the idea that inclusive
development will come through
sustainable, impactful businesses.
Sankalp intends to create an
environment where they can thrive.
Collaborative.
With a unique focus on South-South and North-South collaboration, Sankalp is
ideally placed to facilitate exchange globally. Also, since our work exists at the
intersection of social and commercial business, we facilitate collaborations
between large corporations, smaller enterprises, and innovators to reach low-
income consumers.
There aren't a lot of opportunities
like this that bring international
funders and local entrepreneurs
together, so it’s extremely
valuable to… [form] crucial
relationships.
