What we do as an organization (100-word description)

Drishtee works towards creating an impact on rural lives by building an ecosystem of micro-enterprises through Drishtee-trained entrepreneurs/telecentres. Operating where access is difficult, the Drishtee model aggregates communities around a village entrepreneur. These telecentres provide economic opportunities to the poor by facilitating access, generating employment and delivering essential services in an affordable way.

Drishtee's network is growing and with over 4200 telecentres. This low cost, direct delivery supply chain has in turn created significant cost and time savings, and provided an effective channel for enterprises to sell a range of products and services.
