The selected grantee will work closely with PAS Mumbai to develop PPPs with American and Indian businesses with CSR resources and to organize a contest to solicit proposals of innovative and sustainable entrepreneurial projects that address developmental challenges in five categories; organize the review and selection of the top 10 proposals; conduct a training/mentoring workshop for the shortlisted projects; organize and manage a public finale event at which the 10 short-listed projects will be pitched to a jury panel and one winner is chosen in each category; and track and report on the five winning projects funded through the PPP for up to six months from the disbursement of funds.
