About Drishtee

Drishtee is a social enterprise committed to empowering rural communities by facilitating access to essential services, market linkages, capital, and capacity-building support for women led micro-entrepreneurs.

Drishtee identifies and creates a number of “milkman routes” in a given district. Through each route, it caters to a minimum of 20 – 25 villages. As a social enterprise, Drishtee works towards creating an impact in villages by creating an eco-system of micro-enterprises run by entrepreneurs with a specific focus on women. We identify a number of potential entrepreneurs and train them on the specific skill sets required.

For each franchisee and micro-enterprise, Drishtee implements various components for integrating the module in the existing eco-system. These include community sensitisation; needs assessment; service customisation; community mobilisation;promoting and initiating transactions and setting up back end processes and infrastructure.

Drishtee’s implementation strategy rests on the core supply chain model it creates. Once the route is economically viable, many critical services that have a positive social impact can ride on the same infrastructure.
