Women-Led Livelihood Institutions

The program begins in Delhi with seminars on enterprise ecosystem design, microfinance architecture, and inclusive market theory. A structured methods lab equips students with value-chain mapping tools, stakeholder power analysis frameworks, and ethical interviewing protocols.

In Jaipur and the Rajasthan field corridor, participants engage directly with SHGs and producer institutions through structured observation, guided interviews, pricing analysis exercises, and market integration dialogues. A co-design clinic explores product refinement, quality standards, and branding aligned to real buyer constraints.

The final Delhi phase centers on strategy memo drafting, impact indicator development, peer-review clinics, and partner-ready documentation packaging.

Students will:

Map institutional enterprise ecosystems across credit, training, logistics, and markets.
Conduct structured market observation and bargaining analysis.
Evaluate inclusion risks and elite capture dynamics.
Develop measurable indicators for inclusive market strategies.
Produce faculty-assessable and partner-ready deliverables.
