I & We
Welcome to I & We
I & We is an empowering initiative by the Strivajin Foundation, designed to create a global network of women entrepreneurs, connecting them to resources, opportunities, and each other. We are committed to promoting women’s entrepreneurship across grassroots levels, supporting migrant workers, refugees, and women from underprivileged backgrounds, with a focus on expanding their reach from local to global.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between aspiring women entrepreneurs and the resources they need to succeed—whether through mentorship, funding, market access, or business training. We provide the platform, and you bring the passion. Together, we build a thriving, self-sustaining ecosystem for women entrepreneurs.
Vision and Mission
Our Vision
To create a global platform that fosters collaboration, learning, and growth for women entrepreneurs from all walks of life, empowering them to access new markets, funding, and mentorship, and achieve business success.
Our Mission
To promote women’s entrepreneurship by connecting them to resources, showcasing their products, and offering them opportunities for networking, trade, and collaboration on national and international levels. We aim to help women-owned businesses scale from local markets to the global stage.
What We Do
Global Networking and Learning
We connect empowered women entrepreneurs from across the globe to foster learning and collaboration. By bringing women together, we enable knowledge sharing and skill-building, allowing entrepreneurs to learn from each other’s successes and challenges.
Promoting Indian Handicrafts & Indigenous Products
India is home to a rich tradition of handicrafts and indigenous products (ODOP - One District One Product), and I & We is dedicated to showcasing these talents on a global stage. We promote handmade crafts, textiles, and local products through exhibitions, trade fairs, and online platforms, helping artisans grow their businesses and reach international markets.
Expo & Trade Fairs
We organize national and international expos and trade fairs for women entrepreneurs, giving them the opportunity to showcase their products, connect with buyers, and expand their businesses globally. These events also serve as powerful networking platforms for women to exchange ideas, form partnerships, and explore new business avenues.
National and International Awards
We celebrate the achievements of women entrepreneurs by recognizing them through national and international awards. These awards provide visibility, credibility, and motivation for women who have excelled in their businesses, helping them further strengthen their brand and access new opportunities.
Connecting Women Entrepreneurs with Government Resources
One of the key roles of I & We is to connect women entrepreneurs with essential government resources and schemes designed to support small businesses. We ensure that women know and can access:
Seed Funding
Help in applying for and receiving seed funding to kickstart their business.
Startup Funding
Guidance on government startup funds and how to access these to grow businesses in the initial stages.
Financial Support for Expansion
Support from national and state-level programs that offer financial aid for business expansion.
Local to Global – Expanding Markets for Women Entrepreneurs
Our initiative is deeply rooted in the belief that local products should have the opportunity to thrive on the global stage. Through strategic partnerships, expos, and trade fairs, I & We helps women-owned businesses gain international exposure, access global markets, and scale their operations beyond borders.
We are particularly focused on:
- Promoting local handicrafts, traditional products, and rural innovations to international buyers.
- Creating cross-border collaborations where women entrepreneurs can share best practices and create partnerships.
- Bringing international trade bodies, investors, and businesses to Indian women entrepreneurs through virtual and physical events.
