AboutStartup Gurukool

Startup Gurukool aims to address the urban – rural economic divide through the tools of entrepreneurship and skill development in a fellowship - based model. Young impacters in the age group of 19 - 26 years from cities and towns undergo a 6 month long guided fellowship in a village where they play a pivotal role by engaging city and village stakeholders to cross - pollinate ideas for better economic prosperity in underserved regions using technology-enabled interventions and people-centric solutions. The program provides village entrepreneurs and enterprises access to global markets by co-creating micro-entrepreneurship business models while improving livelihoods, enhancing incomes, and generating jobs in rural India.
