Be! An Entrepreneur

In year 2020, 210 million people in India are estimated to be unemployed. 9 out of 10 of unemployed people are expected to be below the age of 30. Current school dropout rate in India stands at 40%. There is a lack of creative entrepreneurship to pioneer solutions to problems faced by them in their daily lives.

An Entrepreneur, to inspire millions of young, impoverished youths to recognise their potential to become entrepreneurs and create businesses that address the social, economic, environmental problems they face in their lives. The Be! Fund will invest in 75 of the best business ideas submitted by young people.
