Haqdarshak – Every Citizen Matters

Did you know that the Indian Government spends about    USD 400 billion on social welfare and security programs every year? Despite this, there are    124 million    people living below the poverty line and 400 million more working in the unorganized sector with no formal entitlements. At Haqdarshak, this is the problem we are trying to solve through an assisted tech model which ensures last mile connectivity.

We feel both humble and proud that in the last 5 years we have channelized over INR 500 crore and reached more than    1 million families    across    22 states    in the country. In the process, we have trained over    10000 women entrepreneurs    — the frontline support agents — who earn a livelihood because they are trained on our products and processes. And we are super proud because this is no mean achievement. But we know, there is just so much more to do.
