Enterprise Incubation Phase II250 women-led enterprises across Assam, incubated by NEATEHUB over three years
A project with the Assam State Rural Livelihoods Mission (ASRLM) under the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD). NEATEHUB will incubate 250 women-led enterprises from across Assam over three years - with grants, competitions, and credit connections behind them.
Above 250 women entrepreneurs. Three years. All of Assam.
Enterprise Incubation Phase II is a partnership between NEATEHUB and the Assam State Rural Livelihoods Mission (ASRLM), under the Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD).
Build and strengthen 250 women-led enterprises across Assam over three years - helping women move from Self Help Group livelihoods to running real, growing businesses.
Women entrepreneurs who are members of a Self Help Group, anywhere in Assam, with a valid LOKOS code. Any enterprise qualifies except pure trading and farming.
Selected enterprises are incubated by NEATEHUB with mentorship and business support, and connected to grants, competitions, and credit linkages.
We run the incubation end-to-end - screening, hands-on mentoring, market linkage, and connecting each enterprise to the banks, FPOs, and partners it needs to grow.
