Upaya’s mission is to create dignified jobs for the poorest of the poor by investing in small businesses in India’s poorest communities with patient equity in early stage enterprises, and offers entrepreneurs a range of technical services with a focus on strengthening their financial management practices.
Over five years, Upaya has supported a portfolio of 10 young businesses with the cumulative creation of over 2,500 jobs. These sustainable jobs have enabled families previously living in extreme poverty to afford their most basic needs and save for the future.
