The Singapore International Foundation’s (SIF) Young Social Entrepreneurs (YSE) programme kicked off its 2020 edition as a digital experience, undeterred by restrictions imposed by the pandemic to continue nurturing young global changemakers. 109 youths from 19 countries gathered virtually for the YSE Workshop from 3 July to 29 August.

This year, the 11th cohort presented social business ideas ranging from leveraging new technologies for a more inclusive society and proposing alternative means to save the environment, to empowering vulnerable communities through education and job training.

The YSE Workshop comprised an intensive series of webinars and business clinics led by social entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and business strategists. Participants gained knowledge to become effective social entrepreneurs including sessions on finance, marketing, and impact measurement.

In the end, 54 teams presented their business plans to a panel of judges and 15 teams were shortlisted to proceed to the next phase of the YSE programme. Four teams representing India are part of the 15 teams moving on to the next phase of the programme –Built Empathy, Canfem, International Changemaker Olympiad, and Shoonya Environmental Solutions.

These India-based social enterprises are offering sustainable solutions in areas of urban design, healthcare, as well as education and training.

The shortlisted teams, comprising 29 young changemakers representing nine nationalities, were chosen for further grooming because their business ideas held the potential for significant social impact, promise for sustainability, and scalability of the business model.

They also got to interact with like-minded peers of different nationalities, gaining a deeper cross-cultural understanding to make new friends, and forge professional relationships.

Indian Social Enterprises make headway at the Singapore International Foundation’s YSE programme

Ambassador Ong Keng Yong, SIF Chairman, said, “At the SIF, we believe in bringing people of different cultures together to inspire ideas and action for good. While we are unable to have the YSE participants physically in Singapore this year, the digital platform offers new opportunities to nurture the energy, innovative spirit, and passion of young changemakers driven by a strong sense of social purpose. In current times of great economic, climate, and global health challenges, it is even more important that we accelerate the pace of social innovation.”

Bhavya Singh, founder of Built Empathy said “Through the YSE programme, we were exposed to the social enterprise landscape outside of India. We were introduced to market players from Singapore and around the world and gained valuable insights into managing a social enterprise. This has been an enriching journey for me, and I hope to achieve great things in the coming months as I work with my mentors.”

Shortlisted Indian teams:

Built Empathy: headed by Bhavya Singh, improves liveability in Indian cities by making the community and public spaces safer, sustainable, and more inclusive. With a practice rooted in human-centered design, they bring the design to the communities that need it most.

Their external breast prosthesis and mastectomy brassier help survivors get back into society with dignity and improve their physical and mental health. Their pilot, completed on over 3,200 patients, had shown a 93 percent satisfaction rate.

International Changemaker Olympiad: headed by Rahul Adhikari and P Sai Sindhu, provides a platform for children in schools to identify social and environmental problems around them, and launch initiatives to tackle them. Through their programme, students participate in teams to identify real-world problems, develop solutions, and implement them over a span of five months.

Over the next six months, the shortlisted teams will be mentored by leading business consultants from McKinsey & Company and Temasek International and established entrepreneurs relevant to their sectors.

The teams will have the opportunity to hone their business acumen, broaden their cultural perspectives, and tap on a global YSE alumni network of over 1,200 members.

The contest was held in three legs with more than 250 users participating in total. Winners to receive Sirona gift hampers. The two winners were Raveena Virwani and Prakhar.

Ulka Gear, an Indian manufacturing brand start-up in association with Sirona, an award-winning product innovation brand committed to solving unaddressed menstrual hygiene issues, recently rolled out a unique Instagram contest for its followers. The contest was aimed at spreading awareness about the importance of basic hygiene while biking during the pandemic and increasing the reach of Ulka Gear Hakkit & Sirona India products. 

This contest was held in three legs with more than 250 users participating in total. In the last two legs, two winners were announced- Raveena Virwani (a micro-influencer, Product Reviewer, and a travel freak) and Prakhar (Hotelier and a rider by interest).

The winner of the first leg Prakhar said, “Basic hygiene is of utmost necessity while riding a bike during corona times. I have seen several times that while biking, personal hygiene is completely ignored. The competition was a good way through which one was better able to understand the importance of basic hygiene while traveling.”

“Being a woman traveler and a mother, I know it is how much important to take care of ourselves if I catch diseases and bring it back home, I am putting my entire family at risk, this competition helped us brainstorm several ideas through which one can maintain basic hygiene while riding a bike” winner of the second-leg – Raveena said.

Commenting on the partnership, Ulka Gear Founder Shahnawaz Karim said, “Social media campaigns on platforms like Instagram offer the best way to highlight issues and increase brand awareness. Our association with Sirona India is the first step towards this. This contest was aimed at making people aware of how their seemingly inconsequential actions like keeping gloves inside the helmet while motorcycle riding can lead to the spread of disease-causing germs.”

Deep Bajaj, Founder, and CEO of Sirona said, “Maintaining hygiene has always been very important. The new normal has only brought it to the forefront. To help spread awareness about the same among bikers, who are often highly exposed, Sirona and Ulka rolled out this contest on Instagram. It got high traction and informed people about ways of maintaining hygiene on the go.”
