entrepreneurship
for resilience
Building a resilient world capable of coping, adapting and bouncing back from vulnerabilities using the tools of enterprise and entrepreneurship.
what do we do?
We develop entrepreneurship-based models and solutions to reduce vulnerabilities and develop resilience in individuals and communities.
We envision a new generation of entrepreneurial minds, who are mindful, conscious, smart, and incredibly resilient – represented aptly by our logo, the Helix. They are the architects of their destiny, masters of their fate, and stewards of their communities. With each step they take, they embody the spirit of resilience that defines our mission.
Dhriiti believes in the potential of every individual, the power of collective action, and the unshakable resilience of the human spirit. Together, we shall shape a future where entrepreneurship is a beacon of hope, a force for good, and a source of lasting resilience.
how do we do it?
our theory of
change
Dhriiti’s E4R theory of change is based on the above formula wherein ‘Enterprise and entrepreneurship will enable reduction of vulnerabilities of targeted communities in crises leading to increase in resilience.
Dhriiti believes that the next 25 years will be times of huge transformation and change across the globe. This process of change creates and amplifies vulnerabilities and results in various ‘communities in crisis’. Vulnerabilities arising from climate change, geopolitical crisis, global pandemics, technology innovations etc. are changing the livelihood systems, the health & wellness patterns, the gender dynamics, the trade and supply chain realities in various ways making a vast number of individuals and communities slip into crisis. There is and shall be a huge need to provide support to these communities to build their resilience and ability to bounce back higher/better.
Dhriiti believes that resilient and anti-fragile communities can be built, they can be nurtured. Dhriiti strongly believes that the power of enterprise and entrepreneurship can transform these vulnerable communities in crisis to resilient and anti-fragile communities. In the pursuit of this, Dhriiti dedicates itself to develop entrepreneurial solutions, design entrepreneurship models, and build a cadre of entre-professionals who actively engage themselves with individuals and communities to build individual and community resilience.
