What is Next Bharat Residency Program?
At Next Bharat, our mission is to make the world a better place by solving for the economic disparities. We want to do this by supporting Impact Entrepreneurs who are increasing the incomes of informal economy and rural economy, through the Next Bharat Program.
The Program will create a community of like-minded impact entrepreneurs who will become a support for the impact entrepreneurs. Other than this, the program will offer access to mentorship, opportunities to network with industry leaders and investors.
