The Know Your Potential (KYP) Network is a youth-led initiative that aims to build an inclusive ecosystem for underserved women in Delhi/NCR to explore and pursue entrepreneurship. The project recognizes that many women face overlapping barriers, from limited financial access and mentorship opportunities to social invisibility and thus seeks to address these challenges through a set of interconnected interventions.
Planned components include a series of interviews highlighting women’s entrepreneurial aspirations and the structural barriers they encounter; a curated public database compiling accessible opportunities for microfinance, grants, and financial assistance; and a crowdfunding initiative that will channel small seed grants to women beginning their ventures. The project will also culminate in a competition, where aspiring entrepreneurs will present their business ideas to a panel of experts and receive continued mentorship and support. Together, these elements aim to build knowledge, confidence, and financial independence among women from low- and single-income households, empowering them to shape their own economic futures.
