Social Entrepreneur of The Year winner Haqdarshak raises fresh funds to connect citizens with welfare schemes

“The investment funds will help us build tech infrastructure for the Yojana Card platform with government integrations, software and hardware to scale, with marketing expenses towards user acquisition,” said Aniket Doegar, CEO and Founder, Haqdarshak.

“Over the next 12 months, we aim to reach two million families. The Yojana Card platform will give them access to a host of welfare services and financial inclusion products,” he added, highlighting that Haqdarshak aims to impact 100 million Indians by 2030.

Currently present in 24 states in India, Haqdarshak has trained over 30,000 agents and claims to have provided benefits worth over Rs 4,200 crore to over 2.7 million families through its digital portals that are available in 11 vernacular languages.

Haqdarshak is also working towards building solutions to accelerate the adoption of climate-friendly subsidies and programs implemented by the government. The company was recently awarded a design funding grant by Convergence, the global network for blended finance to test models to encourage the adoption of climate-friendly assets among farmers in rural India.

In fact, Haqdarshak’s founder Aniket Deogar won the 2022 edition of the Social Entrepreneur of The Year (SEOY) award, which is given out each year by the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship and Jubilant Bhartia Foundation (JBF).
