One Differentiated Business Changes a Household. Millions Change an Economy.

1. Strengtheningthe State

The vast majority of livelihood spending flows through public systems. Civilization-scale impact therefore requires making public systems dramatically more effective — not building parallel programs at the margins.

Leap 300 works inside major livelihood systems across the largest states in India to improve their livelihood program effectiveness 3x.

  • Bihar
  • Uttar Pradesh
  • Punjab
  • Haryana

With philanthropic support, we now aim to work across major state livelihood systems throughout the Global South.

2. A Time-Bound Journey

Every Yoddha follows a 300-day tech-enabled journey. Every government worker has been deeply trained on each day’s input and output — moving her step-by-step from selection to a sustained microenterprise.

3. Beneficiary Agency

Manjeet Kaur in Munsiwala village, Sangrur, Punjab, depended on her husband’s factory wages of ₹12,000–13,000 a month. She had never run a business of her own.

With PEHEL + Leap 300

she started a beauty parlour while her husband set up a kulcha stall, nearly doubling their household income.

Rani Devi in Saharsa, Bihar, lost her husband to cancer in 2018. Raising five children, she earned barely ₹5,000 a month from livestock rearing and selling clay pots.

With JEEViKA + Leap 300

she opened her village’s first Common Service Centre (CSC), alongside a grocery shop.

Today, both businesses are thriving, earning ₹15,000–₹25,000 a month.

3. The Beneficiary Chooses.

  1. Leap 300 asks 5 questions.

    1. Q1आप कौनसा व्यवसाय शुरू करेंगे, क्यों और कहाँ?
    2. Q2आपने व्यवसाय योजना बनाने के लिए क्या जानकारी, और कहाँ से, प्राप्त की?
    3. Q3आपको व्यवसाय शुरू करने के लिए क्या खरीदना होगा, कितने दाम का और कुल कितना खर्चा होगा?
    4. Q4किन्हीं दो सामान पे कितना मुनाफा होगा और व्यवसाय से रोज़ कितनी बचत होगी?
    5. Q5आप अपने व्यवसाय को कैसे बढ़ाएंगे?

5. The Metric that Matters: Sustenance

Programs can look strong at launch. Scale reveals whether the outcomes last. Leap 300 is built around one question: Is this livelihood becoming more likely to sustain?

1) Is she building a business the local economy needs?

Microenterprise choice is the first leading indicator. Across our data, differentiated businesses built around unmet local demand show roughly 2x higher long-term success than oversupplied categories such as livestock.

2. Is the business — and the entrepreneur — getting stronger?

Leap 300 tracks the signals that precede graduation: LMS learning, accounting activity, business milestones, Super Sabha participation and field progress.

Together, these create a live view of each Yoddha’s trajectory — allowing the system to identify risk early and course-correct before failure.

3. What are we missing?

Internal data is not enough. Leap 300 is being independently studied across states, programs and technologies through RCTs, MEL studies and field research.

Launch Is a Milestone.Sustenance Is the Outcome.

Today, 87% of Leap 300 livelihoods sustain beyond graduation. We measure, learn and course-correct continuously to push that number higher.
