Calling all Indian social entrepreneurs: apply for the Google Impact Challenge
On the eve of India’s independence day, we’re celebrating the spirit of creativity and entrepreneurship of the world’s largest democracy by spotlighting the best local **nprofits that are using tech**logy to make the world better.
Today we’re launching the Google Impact Challenge in India, inviting Indian **nprofits to tell us how they’d use tech**logy to improve people’s lives. At the end of the challenge, four **nprofits will each receive a Rs 3 crore (around $500,000) Global Impact Award and technical assistance from Google to bring their projects to life.
Get started on your application today: registered Indian **nprofits can apply online until September 5 at g.co/indiachallenge. Googlers from India, and around the world, will review applications and an**unce the 10 best projects on October 21. You can learn more about the top 10 finalists then, and cast a vote for who you think should receive the Fan Favorite award.
On October 31, I’ll join Ram Shriram, Jacquelline Fuller, Anu Aga and Jayant Sinha in Delhi to hear the 10 finalists pitch live. As judges, we’ll select three awardees based on their potential impact, scalability and ingenuity. We’ll also an**unce the winner of the Fan Favorite, according to your vote.
Growing up in India, I’ve seen firsthand the vibrancy and in**vativeness of India’s social entrepreneurs. I’m excited to see their projects and support their ideas for how to use tech**logy and Rs 3 crores to change the world.
