Ravi Venkatesan

Ravi is founder of the Global Alliance for Mass Entrepreneurship (GAME). He aims to make the entrepreneurship thrive and is helping shape policies to create an enabling environment. GAME envisions a thriving environment for mass entrepreneurship in India resulting in large-scale job creation. Its aims to galvanize the ecosystem for youth-led mass entrepreneurship at the local level, helping create 10M entrepreneurs, 50% women, who create 50M jobs by 2030. ME is the ‘missing middle’ between compulsive self-employment and fast-growing startups. It is the bedrock of stable economies as it meets the needs of communities, while providing employment at the local level. ME is at a nascent stage in India and needs a national-level organization that brings all the actors together. GAME aims to be that enabling platform that establishes a common understanding of what works and catalyzes change in the ecosystem to speed up the time to maturity. https://www.linkedin.com/in/ravi-venkatesan-ba15b820/
