Accelerating tech-powered enterprises that advance gender inclusion in Climate Action, Healthcare, and Financial Inclusion.
Despite progress in gender equality, women in India continue to face systemic barriers to workforce participation, leadership in STEM, and access to financial services. TVARAN 2.0 is a pioneering acceleration program at the intersection of gender inclusion and technology, designed to tackle three key challenges disproportionately affecting women:
Low participation in the labour force
Underrepresentation in science and technology
Limited access to finance

Creating green livelihoods for women through sustainable agriculture and circular economy solutions.
Empowering women through early diagnosis tools and access to preventive healthcare.
Expanding access to digital banking and financial services through women-led agent networks.
Equip enterprises with gender-smart business models and go-to-market strategies
Facilitate commercial partnerships to improve market access
