Overview

Action For India (AFI) is a social start-up enterprise dedicated to helping social organizations scale their impact by leveraging Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). We offer training and guidance to social entrepreneurs to sustainably scale their organizations through the use of technology. AFI is inspired by and formed with the support of Sam Pitroda, advisor to the Prime Minister of India and Chairman of the National Innovation Council of India. AFI fosters a platform that leverages Sam’s experience and expertise in technology and government to mobilize Indian social entrepreneurs to become change agents. AFI believes that if social entrepreneurs are given the skills, support, and networks they need to improve their use of technology, they will be able to accelerate the impact of their organisations. A number of social organizations in India have demonstrated the potential for technology to enable massive and rapid scaling. AFI seeks to derive best practices from these success stories and thereby enable a significant number of other organizations to scale their impact in a similar way.
