There are several facets of entrepreneurship and empowerment – and we need to promote them all. Innovation is required in standardising enterprise support services, and at the same time customising solutions for each entrepreneur persona with their unique needs. In this blog, Kanika Verma (Programme Director, DA) draws attention to DA’s efforts on capturing new narratives by unshackling aspirations and the unfulfilled potential of empowerment, enabling self-actualisation of entrepreneurs.
