Village Capital has run programs in India since 2010 and supports Communities in India and Pakistan. India is projected to be the global economy’s next “growth king,” presenting enormous opportunities for entrepreneurs across health, education, energy, fintech, and agriculture. Over the next 10 years, India will have a larger workforce than the Chinese, and an increasingly skilled one. The subcontinent will face a confluence of challenges such as climate change, exploding cities, and an emerging middle class, driving pressure on the country’s natural resources, agriculture value chains, and infrastructure. With a young, increasingly skilled workforce and population, India’s entrepreneurship landscape is booming and will continue to grow.

“

It’s quite exciting to participate in some of these workshops because you get a chance to hang out with clever optimistic entrepreneurs who are out to change the world. Hopefully, if the rules of chemistry apply to the real world, funds will move from investors to entrepreneurs, and the wisdom of the entrepreneur will move to the investor.

The most unique thing is the cohort is from the same space, education space. So, there is a lot of synergy developing. You are providing an interactive platform for all of us to learn from each other.
