Strengthening investment readiness for climate-resilient agriculture enterprises
We partnered with Kheyti to strengthen enterprise readiness for scaling climate-resilient agricultural solutions across Odisha, Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh. Through advisory and ecosystem support, we helped position the enterprise for investment, enabling deeper reach to smallholder farmers, women farmers, and medium farmers working at the frontline of climate risk.

Assessing women-centric clean energy solutions for smallholder agriculture
We partnered with Social Alpha to support climate startups building products for women smallholder farmers in Bihar and Odisha. Through a baseline needs assessment, we strengthened investment readiness for early-stage enterprises and surfaced insights on the gap between women’s access to finance and its productive use.

We partnered with Villgro to assess pilots of early-stage agri-energy enterprises across seven states. Our advisory supported enterprise readiness and the adoption of blended agri-energy solutions — from solar irrigation to bio-fuels — among FPOs, farmers, and women micro-entrepreneurs, recognising that climate-friendly technologies need sustained handholding to scale.

Identifying climate action capacity gaps across civil society organisations
We partnered with Axis Bank Foundation to assess the climate action capacities of civil society organisations working on resilient livelihoods, water governance, sustainable agriculture, financial inclusion, and community health. Through a gap assessment and longitudinal evaluation design, we established the programme’s evidence benchmark and surfaced clear capacity-building priorities around M&E systems, knowledge management, and risk integration.
