About SUGAM

SUGAM is a grassroots entrepreneurship accelerator working to bridge the rural-urban economic divide by helping non-urban youth to develop scalable, replicable, and locally impactful businesses.

With SUGAM, a youth aspiring to be an entrepreneur can conceive, design, launch, grow, and sustain a startup venture and be supported to succeed and join the core commercial ecosystem.

Our focus is on relevant ideas in key growth sectors like agriculture, healthcare, energy, and supporting youth through learning & development, mentoring, and funding.
