ABOUT SANKALP
Sankalp was initiated in India in 2009 by Intellecap to create a thriving ecosystem for business-led solutions to achieve the UN SDG Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 across the Global South.
Over the past 11 years, Sankalp has built one of the world's largest impact enterprise focused platforms that has showcased and discovered 1,800+ entrepreneurs through 22 editions of its flagship summits and has connected them to over 600 investors. Sankalp has enabled entrepreneurs to raise over USD 270 million in funding and disbursed $870 K in cash grants.
Sankalp also engages with governments, corporations, influential platforms like the G7 and G20, media and civil society to drive a paradigm shift in inclusive development approaches.

"I think what Sankalp has really been able to accomplish is something that really no other convening in India traditionally has been able to do. I think it's the perfect forum to bring impact investors, social entrepreneurs, multilateral donors like ours together and bring a lens from true tried and tested folks within the government."

TO TALK ABOUT ISSUES THAT MATTER
Sankalp Dialogues are comprehensive discussions, facilitated through the year, across the Global South- Pakistan, Bangladesh, Zambia, Nigeria and Mozambique. These are short duration convenings designed to build ecosystems that enable entrepreneurs to address complex development challenges using local solutions. Sankalp Dialogues are uniquely configured for both, in-person and alternative virtual platforms.
