What Sets Sankalp Apart? Inclusive.
No other convening in the region brings together such diverse stakeholders where grassroots entrepreneurs can interact with global DFIs, investors, intermediaries, government representatives and so many more.
Entrepreneur-Centric. At the heart of Sankalp is always the entrepreneur. Our philosophy centers around the idea that inclusive development will come through sustainable, impactful businesses. Sankalp intends to create an environment where they can thrive.
Collaborative. With a unique focus on South-South and North-South collaboration, Sankalp is ideally placed to facilitate exchange globally. Also, since our work exists at the intersection of social and commercial business, we facilitate collaborations between large corporations, smaller enterprises, and innovators to reach low-income consumers.
There aren't a lot of opportunities like this that bring international funders and local entrepreneurs together, so it’s extremely valuable to… [form] crucial relationships.
– Myles Lutheran, Eco Fuels Kenya Nanyuki, Kenya
