About The Udaiti Foundation

The Udaiti Foundation is a Delhi-based not-for-profit organisation working to accelerate Womens Workforce Participation in the formal economy in India. Udaiti Foundation is part of the ecosystem of organizations under The Convergence Foundation (TCF). Udaiti works on systems-level change combining data and evidence with institutional engagement to drive scalable and sustainable impact for unlocking the full economic potential of women, thereby advancing Indias vision of Viksit Bharat 2047

Over the past decade, India has made significant strides towards increasing opportunities for education, with gross enrollment ratios in many streams having already reached parity. However, the educational gains have not translated into more women working in the formal economy, thus keeping the participation stagnant at 18% of the past five years. Udaiti is working with the government, industry and the ecosystem to shift this reality through the following core pillars

- Shaping access to quality jobs in the private sector

- Strengthening the ecosystem for women entrepreneurs to become job creators

- Strengthening critical infrastructure enablers such as housing, mobility, and childcare

The approach integrates the following core streams of work.

- Research and Evidence Generation: Building a strong evidence base that draws on data from the CGG Data Hub alongside broader qualitative research and pilots.
