Our mission is to enable women from India’s most underrepresented communities to step confidently into the future of work..

..where GenAI and the creator economy open doors to independence, recognition, and self-worth. Every Nimaya Naari we train is not just learning a skill — she’s rewriting what’s possible for herself, her family, and for countless girls who will follow in her footsteps.

Nimaya is also sparking a mindset revolution in how India thinks about CSR and social change.

In a world being reshaped by automation, why should crores of funds still be spent on obsolete vocational training?

We’re building a new template for social innovation — one that inspires business leaders, philanthropists, and policymakers to invest in bold, future-focused experiments that redefine opportunity for women everywhere.
