Disha

Level 1, 2011

Disha aims to help women and youth, as they transition from shelter homes to communities, to lead independent lives and become more confident individuals. To assist in emotional preparedness i.e. dealing with past experiences etc., Disha will play a role of a ‘Buddy’ as these individuals experience change.

Khusboo has a diploma in social work from Nirmala Niketen College and has been with Ashoka Youth Venture. She has been working with different organizations like Prena and Saathi for shelter women.
Working with the shelter women over 2 years and realizing their initial problems to lead a normal life, Khusboo developed Disha. Over the next 3 years, Disha will implement support programs across most of the shelter homes in Mumbai.

What People Are Saying About UnLtd India

Going into this, I had no management experience; I didn't know how to run an organization. That's where UnLtd India's support has been invaluable.

- Pooja Taparia, Arpan

"Unreasonable Visionaries" is the term I use for UnLtd India investees. They are visionaries with a passion for change and are unreasonable because they refuse to accept obstacles in their course. I am extremely happy with my decision to be on the panel.

- Suman Srivastava, Former CEO at Euro RSCG

The incubation team has helped me put systems in place and boost my targeted budget from 1 to 7 lakh rupees. Interacting with other investees has pushed me to think about my community and approach partnerships in new ways. Other investees think big, so I do too.

- Ashok Rathod, Oscar

The support from UnLtd India has pushed my team to develop more innovate methods of teaching. Personally, I'm much more confident in pitching my idea, identifying the support I need and then asking others for real guidance.

- Ramesh Joshi, Aashansh

I am infected by the energy of UnLtd India investees. They are extremely passionate about the cause they choose and go after it with all seriousness. I have truly enjoyed working with them.

- Amitabh Mall, Principal at The Boston Consulting Group

For us, UnLtd India's support in mentoring, vision building, building our capacity to deliver, moving from a particular level to the next level, as a business, as an enterprise -- I think those are the big things.

- Vijaya Pastala, Under the Mango Tree

Every new organisation faces challenges. Every day you wake up and there are more headaches, more things that will go wrong, more cash flow issues. But the peers we work with at UnLtd India give us the confidence to continue.

- Will Muir, Equal Community Foundation
