What’s the difference between Sankalp Dialogues, Founder’s Table, and Deal Room?

Sankalp Programmes are designed for different kinds of ecosystem engagement. Sankalp Dialogues are structured conversations on capital, markets, and enterprise trends across the Global South. Founder’s Table is a more intimate, founder-focused format designed for peer exchange and operator problem-solving. Deal Room is action-oriented—connecting investment-ready enterprises with relevant capital providers and ecosystem enablers.

How can I participate in a Sankalp Programme?

Participation depends on the format. Sankalp Dialogues are open for registration for relevant sessions. Founder’s Table is curated, with participation typically invite-based. Deal Room is application or selection-based, depending on enterprise readiness and fit.

What sectors do Sankalp Programmes focus on?

Themes vary by programme, but commonly include enterprise finance, climate and regenerative agriculture, health, circular economy, gender and inclusion, livelihoods, digital infrastructure, and innovation in emerging markets. The focus is less on sectors in isolation, and more on solving structural challenges that affect enterprise growth and impact.

Who are these programmes designed for?

Depending on the format, Sankalp Programmes are built for founders and enterprise leaders, investors and capital allocators, DFIs, foundations, ecosystem builders, corporates, advisors, and strategic partners. Each programme has a distinct audience focus, but all are designed to strengthen enterprise ecosystems across the Global South.

Are these programmes focused only on Africa?

Not all. Founder’s Table is currently focused on African founder ecosystems. Sankalp Dialogues and Deal Room are designed with a broader Global South lens, including India and Africa, depending on the theme and programme format.
