Lets Endorse

Let Endorse's programme "UDYAMITA" is a transformative initiative aiming to democratize economic and social equity in India by fostering entrepreneurship. It envisions a future where every individual, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to reshape their lives through entrepreneurship. UDYAMITA believes that democratizing entrepreneurship is key to both individual empowerment and societal progress. By embracing entrepreneurship, it seeks to level the socio-economic playing field, helping people realize their potential and chart their own destinies. Its approach is rooted in foundational principles, envisioning a future of possibilities and guided by the directive of "Arise, Awake, and stop not till the goal is reached", as articulated in the Kathopanishad and Swami Vivekananda's teachings.

The programme "Mission Swavalamban" by Let's Endorse draws inspiration from the Khadi movement's legacy of self-reliance, aiming to uplift 10,000 families from the cycle of poverty. In partnership with SIDBI, it operates across 100 districts in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, and Telangana, empowering youth, women, and men to establish and grow micro/small/medium enterprises locally. By combating urban migration and promoting self-employment sustainability, the initiative seeks to strengthen local economies and foster aspiration. Supported by a network of NGOs, Let's Endorse strives to empower individuals in villages and smaller cities, employing collaboration, technology, and dedication to actualize this transformative mission.

Let's Endorse introduces the "Swavalamban Express," an innovative initiative by the Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) to empower small business aspirants. Celebrating SIDBI's 30th foundation year, the initiative launches the train journey "Swavalamban Express" as a distinctive Self-Employment Paathshala. This 15-day journey covering 7,000 km and 11 cities hosts 500 aspiring Swavalambis, mentored by over 150 experts. En route, participants engage in a rigorous curriculum on business building, focusing on finance access, responsible practices, and the triple bottom line concept, aligned with UN SDGs 8, 9, and 12. Conceived by Sh. Mohammad Mustafa, Chairman and Managing Director of SIDBI, the vision behind Swavalamban Express is to create an interconnected small enterprise ecosystem, enabling growth beyond metros and fostering India's journey to a five trillion-dollar economy by 2024-25.

Lets Endorse presents "Legacy," an initiative designed in collaboration with philanthropists, aiming to drive transformative change alongside committed non-profits, social innovators, and change facilitators. Legacy focuses on connecting NGOs with innovative solutions to global social challenges, while concurrently securing essential funds for project implementation. Through the LetsEndorse Giving Circuit, Legacy engages philanthropists to endorse strategic, solution-driven projects, fostering significant impact on social issues at scale. By harnessing proven social innovations aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, Legacy builds a robust philanthropic portfolio that generates local impact. Transparent impact assessment is achieved through the deployment of these innovations, enabling objective measurement and success replication across multiple sites, facilitated by on-site visits and reviews by members.

Project Paathshaala, a flagship Lets Endorse, aims to rectify educational disparities by equalizing opportunities for all students in India. Recognizing that quality education is pivotal for socio-economic growth, the project focuses on improving essential educational resources in Government, Government-aided, and Affordable Private Schools over five years. Collaboration with stakeholders like Social Alpha enhances its impact. By implementing innovative and cost-effective global solutions, the initiative seeks to create a level playing field. However, its success hinges on collective efforts from innovators, grassroots organisations, philanthropists, and passionate individuals dedicated to fostering positive change in education.
