The/Nudge Institute

The/Nudge Institute is an action institute working towards a poverty-free India within our lifetime. The organisation believes that every Indian deserves to live a life of dignity, and that ending poverty is possible when governments, markets, and civil society come together.

Since its founding, The/Nudge has focused on building resilient livelihoods for all. The team partners with state governments, social entrepreneurs, and grassroots communities to create solutions that help people move out of poverty for good. Their work spans economic inclusion programmes, support for social entrepreneurs, and community-based initiatives that empower women and families to build sustainable incomes.

]The/Nudge’s impact is visible in the stories of people whose lives have changed—farmers who have learned new skills, women who have become confident business owners, and social entrepreneurs who have scaled their ideas to reach thousands. The organisation’s approach is practical and collaborative, always centred on what works for people on the ground.

With poverty rates in India dropping from 80% in 1947 to just 11% in 2022, The/Nudge believes the goal of ending poverty is within reach. Through partnership, innovation, and a relentless focus on results, The/Nudge is helping to build a future where every Indian can thrive.
