    Meet the Founder

    Founder

    Leading Change from the Ground Up

    Our founder recognized the critical gap in representing India's vast informal economy workforce and took action to bridge this divide through data-driven insights and community empowerment.

    With a vision to quantify the unseen and give voice to the unheard, IEI was born from the understanding that 90% of India's workforce deserves better representation and support.

    "Change begins when we make the invisible visible."
