About This Project

GIZ collaborated with Ennovent to bring start-up support to impact-focused businesses that were operating beyond metropolitan cities in India.

Ennovent conducted 15-20 interviews with entrepreneurs and mentors, who confirmed a strong need for start-up services in tier 2 and tier 3 cities. A hub-and-spoke model was tested to deliver start-up services in these cities.

Ennovent structured 15 mentoring engagements to solve specific entrepreneurial challenges in exchange for sweat equity. 12 expert-led workshops and eight thought leadership sessions were also conducted for the benefits of startups while providing access to workspace at preferred terms in underserved areas.
