Over the last year, the unprecedented suffering caused by the pandemic was met with an equally relentless development of rapid solutions by innovators within civil society, whether it was incisive healthcare tools, support to displaced migrant workers, or alternate job creation for those out-of-work. D4GX India aims to bring together innovators, funders, and ecosystem builders to continue growing and developing such innovations, and rebuild Indian communities who suffer most deeply at the hand of any crisis, with an inclusive and participatory arsenal of solutions.​

To further this vision, the D4GX 2021 India Empowerment Challenge will award and support three exceptional early-stage social innovations incubated by ‘data-preneurs’ within successful Indian civil society organizations, across each one of our thematic focuses: ​
