Democratising access to entrepreneurship as a means to restore agency in historically marginalised communities
Authors

Abstract
Poverty and lack of economic opportunity affect roughly 25% of the Indian population (NITI Aayog). Challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, including job scarcity and movement restrictions are projected to have caused an additional 150-199 million Indian people to have fallen into poverty (IMF, 2021). This is exacerbated by systematic social inequalities and lack of viable economic opportunities for unskilled workers. More than 800 million Indians are either unemployed or underemployed. Given these constraints, it will take a person from an average low-income Indian family 7 generations to reach India’s mean income of USD 1500 (WEF, 2020).
