Ulhas Kamat, Chief Mentor
Knowledge, Process, Impact, Partnership
I Create was started with the idea of helping people at the grassroots become entrepreneurs. For the last 25 years I Create has been developing content appropriate for the target audience that can teach business skills. Our plan is to expand our programme and take it across the country through a network of trained mentors.

Chitra Jagannath, CEO
Skills, Capacity Building, Sustainability
Army veterans retire at the prime age of 35 to 40. We want to put their retired lives to productive use by leveraging the skills and traits they have picked up in the army. By training them to be entrepreneurs we not only provide for him but also his family, his community and the next generation.

Harsh Bhargava, Founder
Change the Mindset, Reverse migration
We need job creators rather than job seekers. And who could be a better job creator than an entrepreneur? We started I Create to create job creators. The ethos at that time was very anti-business minded. We wanted to change the mindset of the youth to become entrepreneurs.

Aruna Bhargava, Founder
The Beginnings, Adaptation, Women
We wondered what we could do to give back to the country that had given us so much. I wanted to something for the women— divorced, destitute, deserted women— they don't get loans from the bank because they have no collateral.

Our Inspiration

I came across the book "Creating Job Creators: 101 representative success stories of I Create Entrepreneurs". I am happy that I Create is offering a critical complementary piece to young men and women: Training in Entrepreneurship Skills needed to be successful in their businesses.
First, we need to create job generators who could generate multiple employment opportunities for the deprived sections.
Second, entrepreneurship incubation institutions need to be developed all over India and the developing world.

Demystifying Entrepreneurship.
