Mission Digital Women is an initiative of ASSIST with its network partners across India aimed to enhance the financial and economic well-being for 1 million women and women enterprises over the next four years in India starting with metro and tier 1 cities.

Vocational Training

Individualized learning

AI driven

Behaviour & Nudges

Recognizing the pivotal role of vocational training, particularly in business, finance, and digital skills, we depart from generic approaches that focuses on generic content without addressing the diverse needs, aspirations, and life stages of individuals. Instead, MDW team is working with our tech partner to adopt an AI driven supportive model, building personalized engagement backed by data, behavior and nudges, self-adapting to the individual interactions within different phygital touch points, with aim to drive action.

Success is measured not by how many women are trained, but with improved income, level of entrepreneurship, financial and economic well-being matrix.

Partnerships

Our network partners form the foundation of our initiatives, ensuring accessibility and tailoring programs to the specific needs of diverse communities. Our focus is to equip these women communities/members with the knowledge and tools needed to overcome the barriers of participating in online and social commerce, fostering economic independence and societal recognition.

The Approach

Mission Digital Women leverages cutting-edge technology provided by our tech partner that forms the basis of this massividualized learnaforce platform

  1. At first stage Generative AI, machine learning, and data play pivotal roles in creating adaptive and portable content.
    This content creation process is further complemented by a social-community of creators who come together to build stories and content that can identify with end-user individuals problems and goals.
  2. At second stage, the content is white-labeled for each network partner, ensuring relevance and cultural sensitivity.
  3. At third stage, we engage with our end-user individual through gamified multi touch-points that are both delivered digitally and physically.
    Each interaction aimed to enhance the learning experience that rides on Large Language Models (LLM) and self-adapting machine learning algorithms, driving content and nudges in local languages for a personalized experience.
  4. At fourth stage, the action is created by actualizing the product and service experience for the individual through a geo-referenced marketplace.

The touch-points are multifaceted, employing various channels. This includes a proactive personalized trainer-bot capable of text and voice interactions through platforms like WhatsApp, IVR (Interactive Voice Response), and a dedicated app. Additionally, there are in-person training sessions that utilize tools like virtual reality for interactive learning. Both in-person and online peer-learning groups are established. The overarching goal is to equip participants with actionable skills, fostering a supportive community. This community is intended to instill confidence and a sense of unity among women, providing them with the support needed to thrive in their businesses.

Empowering Communities.
