Partners

Srijan arose out of a need for a sector building initiative that not only invigorated the microfinance space but also improved its impact and outreach. In the past three years, Srijan has grown to become one of India's premier platforms that recognizes models that have nurtured the ecosystem and establishes a forum that lays ground for future trends that affect the sector.

Srijan invites partnerships from like-minded organizations interested in playing a role at the forefront of new market development. In addition to networking with participants and accessing new ideas that will potentially shape the future of the sector, the forum also provides the sponsors with a platform to discover strategic business development opportunities while bolstering their current market position.
