At SMV Wheels we build on the ideals of asset based entrepreneurship giving rickshaw drivers and cart operators the means to self-employment. We sell rickshaws and carts but give our customers an extended payment period of up to fifty four weeks. The provision of extended payment terms fills a critical gap in the market for our customers and gives them an alternative to costly daily rentals and, a chance at upward economic mobility. Payments equate to less than 15% of weekly income and include the cost of the rickshaw, insurance and license, operating costs and a c.10% margin.

Samina Alam
Social Winner(ESDECS)
ESDECS is a social enterprise which works primarily in the space of Job Readiness with a special focus on underserved customer segment(s). As per World Bank Report, in West Bengal where ESDECS operates, the total enrolment in secondary grades (classes 9-12) was 3.4 Mn in 2010-11 & in 2012 enrolment in Higher Education was 0.2 Mn which reflects massive drop-out with only 10-11% of youth reported having received any form of vocational training. There is significant gap in the institutional mechanism to reach out to this youth segment, address their need and create a pathway to make them employable. Through our E2E Plus training, we connect high school pass/drop out students to the job market who do not pursue higher education and run the risk of becoming unemployed. This is done in partnership with State Government & our partner organization Vikramshila through a unique skills@school solution termed as Education to Employability (E2E). E2E sets the platform by honing basic employability capacity of Class 9-12 students through career focused life skills. Using E2E as a springboard, ESDECS identifies, screens, trains and places Class 12 pass/dropout students through its E2E Plus training solution leveraging government infrastructure & policy support. E2E Plus is perhaps the first organized initiative undertaken by any enterprise in PPP mode to provide a concrete roadmap for creating employment directly from the school ecosystem to cater to the huge demand of entry level workforce in services & allied sectors (Retail, ITeS-BPO, Tourism & Hospitality, Healthcare & Education) which is estimated at 44.7 Mn by year 2022 as per IAMR estimates
