NITI Aayog's Women Entrepreneurs Platform 'WEP'- Details, Role, Aim, Purpose
The Women Entrepreneurs Platform (WEP) is an initiative under the NITI Aayog which was launched on 8th March 2018 on the occasion of the International Women’s Day.
The idea of the Women Entrepreneurs Platform was first mooted by Amitabh Kant, CEO, NITI Aayog, who announced the setting-up of a Women Entrepreneurship Platform in NITI Aayog at the conclusion of the 8th Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES) held in Hyderabad in 2017.
The Women Entrepreneurs Platform (WEP) was established to substantially increase the number of women entrepreneurs who will create and empower a dynamic New India.
The Women Entrepreneurs Platform intends to undertake this task through its partner organisations, private as well as public; by bringing they're existing as well as new women-specific initiatives on a single platform.
The Women Entrepreneurs Platform aims to address knowledge gaps, promote partner connects and increase the outreach of partner programmes.
The WEP inspires to substantially increase the number of women entrepreneurs to create and empower dynamic new India by opening up avenues of growth and opportunity for women entrepreneurs. These aspirations of women entrepreneurs are manifested in three pillars on which WEP is built:
Ichha Shakti: Motivating aspiring entrepreneurs to start their enterprise.
Gyaan Shakti: Providing knowledge and ecosystem support to women entrepreneurs to help them foster entrepreneurship.
Karma Shakti: Providing hands-on support to entrepreneurs in setting-up and scaling up businesses.
