Visa and NASSCOM Foundation have jointly announced an initiative to upskill women entrepreneurs with digital skills and financial literacy. The training program is designed to help women from underserved communities build basic digital skills while sharpening business acumen. This initiative by Visa is part of its global recovery efforts announced last year to elevate 50 million small and micro businesses.
The program will focus on training impacted entrepreneurs through a blended model. Online training will be delivered through the DigiSakshar portal and app, and all beneficiaries will receive a mobile phone with one year of internet connectivity to help them access the course curriculum and training.
On the occasion of the launch, Mr. TR Ramachandran, Group Country Manager, India and South Asia for Visa, said, “We hope to help rebuild their lives and businesses to thrive in the coming years. we hope this will be a transformational journey and create stronger support for these entrepreneurs.”
