✨Building Pathways from Philanthropy to Formal Finance: How Returnable Grants are Powering Rural Women Entrepreneurs Frontier Markets, in partnership with 360 ONE Foundation, is implementing an innovative Returnable Grant program to help rural women entrepreneurs expand their businesses, reduce reliance on one-time philanthropic support, and build a track record that enables access to formal credit. 👩💼Each woman receives catalytic capital in her Meri Saheli App wallet, along with training, digital tools, and ongoing mentorship. The grant is repayable, allowing the same funds to support more women over time—while creating proof of repayment capacity and healthy business growth that can be leveraged with banks and financial institutions. 📊From ₹1.4K to ₹13K Average Monthly Business Turnover of a #Rural Woman Entrepreneur - in just 4 months: this is how the program is beginning to transform lives and livelihoods, starting with Monika Yogi’s story. 👩👧Meet Monika, a young mother and graduate from Santhali, Tonk (Rajasthan), who turned her family Kirana store into a thriving business—tripling her working capital rotation and achieving a 9X to 10X jump in business turnover & income within just 4 months of receiving a ₹15,000 Returnable Grant via Frontier Markets’ Meri Saheli platform. Key Highlights 🔄 3X wallet rotation multiplier — signaling healthy inventory movement and a growing customer base 💹 Monthly turnover grew from ₹1,400 to ₹13,000 💰 Monthly income jumped from ₹150 to ₹1,600 Each successful rotation of the Returnable Grant reflects both business health and repayment discipline, strengthening Monika’s eligibility for future formal credit. The income increase has allowed her to reinvest in higher-demand products, improve stock availability, and support her family’s needs with more confidence. With confidence, digital tools, customer insight, and training on finance, Monika is becoming a local role model—balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship, and proving that the right push at the right time can unlock extraordinary growth. 360 ONE 360 ONE Wealth 360 ONE Asset Karan Bhagat Yatin Shah Anshuman Maheshwary Sanjay Wadhwa Anup Maheshwari Saumya Lashkari Navin Upadhyaya Ronak Sheth Anil Mascarenhas Sneha Kailash Simren Nagrath Ajaita S.
