We are looking for data-based innovations to create transformational change for vulnerable communities.

The D4GX India Empowerment Challenge will recognize and support three early-stage social innovations that leverage data to create transformational change for vulnerable communities. 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.
​
The D4GX India Empowerment Challenge will award three exceptional innovations incubated by emerging ‘data-preneurs’ within successful Indian civil society organizations with an innovation grant, mentorship support, and catalysing networks to further their journey towards data-led empowerment.
