PHILANTHROPY OVER TEA
FRIDAY, 9 MARCH 2018
2 pm – 5 pm
THE GATEWAY HOTEL, ‘GARDENSIDE HALL’, 66 Residency Road, Bangalore, India
Over 90% of India’s workforce are employed in the informal sector which lacks any kind of formal skill development system. Ensuring livelihood enhancing employment with the help of industry-ready skills is an important step towards alleviating poverty and contributing to overall growth and productivity.
As part of *GIFT’s Global Leaders Programme, business leaders from around the world are working with LabourNet, India’s leading livelihood enabler in the informal sector, to propose creative and sustainable business models that support its work.
• Join us at our public forum to hear the strategic recommendations for uplifting the informal sector.
• Get answers from industry experts on how to run sustainable models as a not for profit or a social enterprise impacting the ecosystem.
• Learn how to fund your models to help them achieve sustainability.
• Get first-hand advice from established social entrepreneurs on how to scale up consistently and create a positive social impact.
DON’T MISS this unique networking opportunity with industry stalwarts and get valuable insights on creating a sustainable ecosystem.
