About This Cause

The Beginning Dhriiti was founded in 2004, with a vision to promote and protect entrepreneurship in its different forms and to build and create a spirit of entrepreneurship amongst the next generation of Indians. For nearly two decades, we’ve been on this journey of transformation, to support and grow along with the changing times with and for entrepreneurs. We have worked with the realization that the problems of unemployment, underemployment, and disguised employment are not just dependent on the government and public/private sectors. With a focus on empowering the power of her, in women entrepreneurs and in underserved areas such as the North East of India, we have endeavoured to inspire and build entrepreneurs who identify & convert opportunity into sustainable enterprises. In doing so, we have mentored and positively impacted the lives of several entrepreneurs but also enabled holistic enterprises that aim for Financial, Social and Economical balance - with a lasting influence on business, society and the world. The Evolution In the past few years, we reflect and understand that there has been a shift - a positive change in the world, and ever more so in India. Entrepreneurship, is seen as a much more viable career option, a sustainable and respectful means of livelihood. With a progressive mindset, the youth is embarking on new unchartered territories with self-reliance and confidence. This shift, however, is not confined to gender; notably, women too are experiencing empowerment, acceptance, and readiness to take charge. However, the pandemic and the pace of change has also exposed our vulnerabilities, it has shown us that adaptability is as important as ambition, that risk mitigation is as integral as chasing growth, that collaboration and community are as crucial as individual ideas, that progress is not always about profit, and that sustainability is not just a priority, it is mandatory. We have looked this shift in the eye and are reimagining Dhriiti, with a new vision to create a resilient enterprise ecosystem and mitigate vulnerabilities for new and emerging entrepreneurs. With that we continue our relentless effort to ride the next wave of enterprises and entrepreneurship. To promote, introduce, and inculcate the new skills, capabilities and an agile and adaptive mindset, nurturing a new generation of resilient entrepreneurs and enterprise. A New Vision for a New Era Dhriiti's mission now extends beyond the immediate challenges of unemployment and underemployment. We are reimagining our approach to empower adaptive entrepreneurs with a forward-thinking mindset, shifting the paradigm from self-reliance to self-resilience. We do this through training, technology, and tools designed to elevate individuals and communities not merely to survive, but to thrive in this ever-changing world. Our effort is to deliver a flywheel for resilient enterprises and entrepreneurs to promote - Capacity: We believe, every instance an entrepreneur overcomes vulnerabilities and seizes the social, economic, and financial balance with unfaltering mental conviction and capacity to keep going, in-spite of changes - Dhriiti succeeds, we succeed. - Capability: We believe in the potential of every individual, and when new/emerging entrepreneurs strive forward with the capability to know, learn and grow with the right evolving skills and self-learning motivation - Dhriiti succeeds, we succeed. - Community: We believe that the human spirit thrives in the collective, everywhere when the power of community elevates the individual, with partnerships that mutually support and enrich the ecosystem – Dhriiti succeeds, we succeed.
