India is brimming with youth talent and it is spread across the length and breadth of our diverse country. In the news, we’ve read stories of student entrepreneurs from remote parts of India coming up with the most interesting and relevant business ideas combating all odds of lack of resources and nurturing ecosystems. Unfortunately, a select few universities receive the facilities and support to encourage student entrepreneurship activities while most other institutions are left out. As a result, millions of incredible enterprise ideas never get the chance to take off and create large scale impact.

At Sociocharge, we are here to change this and support budding entrepreneurs with holistic and accessible support throughout the entire lifecycle of their enterprise idea. It doesn’t matter where you come from or the resources you have, if you are passionate about creating impact with entrepreneurship, we are here to build with you to transform your vision into a successful venture.
