Launching the Data for Good Exchange India Empowerment Challenge 2021!

The D4GX India Empowerment Challenge will recognize and award three early-stage social innovations that leverage data to create transformational change for vulnerable communities. These data-led innovations might include – designing universally acknowledged actionable metrics for the social sector, empowering vulnerable communities with data through participatory action, creating feedback loops than enrich a ‘common data platform’, and strengthening the sector by breaking out of siloed data systems. 

The Challenge will award three exceptional innovations incubated by emerging ‘data-preneurs’ within successful Indian civil society organizations with growth capital, mentorship support, and catalyzing networks to further their journey towards data-led empowerment.

Applications open: 19th April, 2021 - 31st July, 2021 (12 PM IST)
