A RAY OF HOPE FOR INDIAN STARTUPS

January 24, 2020 | World Economic Forum in Davos

The Motwani Jadeja Foundation and the Motwani Institute for Thought Leadership in Innovation (MITLI) has launched the ASHA initiative at the World Economic Forum in Davos to investors who not only put in money into businesses in India but also look at the country with positivity and hope

At a time when the Indian economy is in international news for being on a consistent downslide, it is important to have investors who not only put in money into businesses here but also look at the country with positivity and hope. The Motwani Jadeja Foundation and the Motwani Institute for Thought Leadership in Innovation (MITLI) has launched the ASHA initiative at the World Economic Forum in Davos to do just that. The MITLI global think tank has also been introduced in 2018 to the global community present at the same Forum.

ASHA, which is Sanskrit for hope, has been set up with the aim to inspire people to change the world through cutting-edge innovation and state-of-the-art technologies, through a collective and equitable approach. ASHA visualizes a world that will not just be inclusive and entrepreneurial but also human centric. It aims to create a brave new ecosystem with mechanisms that will help the world transition into a bright future.

The Motwani Jadeja Foundation and MITLI was founded and is lead by the Silicon Valley based entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist Asha Jadeja Motwani. The Motwani Jadeja Foundation is a non-profit global venture that funds entrepreneurs, allowing them to transform their dreams and business plans into reality. Its work is particularly focused in the areas of education and women’s rights. On the other hand, MITLI is a first-of-its-kind think tank that brings together influential global thought leaders, academics, heads of state, and leaders in technology. A total of USD 30 million has been invested to set up the think tank.
