Surge Impact Foundation

The Surge Impact Foundation has launched the Climate Action Entrepreneurship Incubation programme to address climate change in India and support climate entrepreneurs. The programme provides tailored support to entrepreneurs in the early stages of their ventures, focusing on financial and operational modelling, solution design, marketing, and impact measurement. It also promotes personal resilience and entrepreneurial competencies through leadership coaching and access to investors. Subject specific boot camps and technical experts help participants develop their ventures, while peer-to-peer learning and market linkages foster collaboration and growth. The programme offers ongoing alumni support to ensure long-term success and networking opportunities for entrepreneurs beyond the incubation period.

The LGBTQIA+ Entrepreneurship Incubation Program empowers and supports LGBTQIA+ social entrepreneurs, providing comprehensive 9-month support to individuals, NGOs, and for-profit enterprises working for LGBTQIA+ betterment. It includes training, coaching, and leadership development for an entrepreneurial mindset. Participants access a diverse network of advisors, mentors, and investors, facilitating valuable networking and learning. Expert-led sessions enhance skills, and peer-to-peer learning promotes knowledge exchange. An alumni community ensures ongoing collaboration. Seed grants are awarded based on idea potential, offering crucial financial assistance to kickstart and nurture ventures.

The programme aims to engage citizens of various age groups, identities, and social backgrounds across different geographical locations. It seeks to create a space that encourages individuals to understand, acknowledge, and practice constitutional values in their everyday lives, families, and communities. Through dialogues centred on constitutional values, the programme aims to foster psychosocial transformation in a safe and value-based environment. To further these objectives, SIF has organized events such as "Rap for Rajyangam" on Instagram; a gathering called "74 years of Indian Constitution" on Constitution Day at Lamakaan, and implemented a five-month Constitutional Literacy Module at Telangana Minorities Residential Educational Institutions Society (TMREIS) reaching out to adolescent girls.
