The Lab will prefer startups that build technology solutions to help improve the financial health and capabilities of the low-and-middle-income (LMI) segments. These could be solutions that utilize alternative data, new technologies, and open access platforms to help the LMI segments earn more, save better, minimize financial shocks, access low-cost capital, become employable, and create wealth.
The selected startups will receive mentoring support with field studies by financial inclusion experts and curated sessions by faculty and experts at IIM Ahmedabad. Moreover, these startups get to bag capital of up to INR 25 lakhs for product development and market validation.

About the Financial Inclusion Lab
Start-ups are often unaware of the specific user needs, design elements, and distribution models that they should consider while solving problems for the underserved LMI segments. A one-size-fits-all solution deployed ends up being irrelevant to the customers and drains the start-up’s limited resources. The need to reimagine such solutions inspired the setup of the Financial Inclusion Lab. A part of CIIE.CO’s Bharat Inclusion Initiative, the Lab works to improve the financial health of India’s underserved LMI segments by supporting start-ups in the areas of FinTech, skilling, and livelihood.
CIIE.CO collaborates with MSC Consulting, an international consultancy firm that works in digital financial inclusion, to provide the start-ups with high-touch advisory and insights into the LMI segments. The Lab supported 18 early-stage start-ups in two cohorts last year to build and validate their solutions. Cumulatively, these start-ups have already served 350,000+ customers and raised over USD 4.7 million in funding after their participation in the Lab.
