At Unnati Foundation, our work begins with a simple yet powerful belief: entrepreneurship is a universal force for change—and it should be accessible to everyone. We are a sector-agnostic non-profit organization that works across diverse industries and social contexts to support individuals, communities, and grassroots innovators in building ventures that are sustainable, scalable, and socially relevant.
From dairy farmers in rural belts to mushroom cultivators in forest villages, from local homestays to aspiring tech entrepreneurs—we work hand-in-hand with people from all walks of life to bring their ideas to life. We don’t limit our support to any one sector, because we know that meaningful change can come from any field, anywhere.
Being sector agnostic means we embrace the diversity of ideas that communities bring forward. Whether it’s a dairy cooperative seeking better business systems, a school needing help in scaling its impact, or a young innovator looking to build an ed-tech startup, we step in with tailored guidance and a flexible, adaptive approach.
Our core work revolves around making business planning and implementation accessible—not just to the privileged few, but to everyone with a dream to create change.
Our Services and Interventions
Here’s how we bring that mission to life:
For many grassroots entrepreneurs, the concept of a business plan can feel intimidating or out of reach. We break it down into understandable steps. We help people:
Our team works closely with individuals or groups to co-create business blueprints that are actionable and aligned with their capabilities and environment.
Each venture is different—so we avoid cookie-cutter solutions. Instead, we design implementation strategies that are tailored to the specific needs of the project. A mushroom farming initiative will not have the same requirements as a dairy production unit, and we treat each accordingly.
We assist with:
Our goal is to ensure that every idea doesn’t just start—but thrives.
We conduct workshops, on-site training, and mentoring programs to build core competencies across agriculture, business, technology, marketing, and management. Whether it’s training women in cooperative accounting or encouraging youth towards learning drone technology, we focus on practical, demand-driven skill-building.
While we are sector agnostic in our intake of projects, our team and extended network includes experts across sectors—from agriculture and food processing to education and tech. We bring in specialists as needed to add deeper value to each project.
We believe that consistent guidance makes a major difference in the success of a venture. Our team offers ongoing mentorship, helping beneficiaries navigate challenges, pivot when necessary, and stay motivated.
We also link entrepreneurs with sector mentors, local business leaders, or retired professionals who can provide hands-on, contextual advice.
Sustainable success requires more than just a good business—it requires a supportive ecosystem. Through our programs, we work to:
We don’t just support businesses—we help build communities of change-makers.
Unnati Foundation exists to bridge the gap between potential and possibility. We believe that when people are equipped with the right knowledge, support, and systems, they can transform their circumstances and contribute meaningfully to society.
By staying sector agnostic and person-centric, we remain open to innovation in all its forms. Whether it’s a farmer-led dairy project or a community promoting their local culture through homestays and shared experiences for all—we’re here to make it happen.
At Unnati, we don’t just help ideas grow. We help people believe that their ideas matter.
