The New India Manifesto
Going Beyond Possible — by Rohan Deshmukh
Not a biography or a success story — a manifesto. Written from Solapur, it carries his father Subhash Deshmukh’s dream — to incubate 1,00,000 entrepreneurs from India’s youth — and turns it into a direct call to action for a self-reliant, enterprise-led New India.
The invitation
Are you building something in your town or village?
Share your story in about a minute. We connect founders with mentors and vetted investors, and run a transparent, criteria-based, revolving support programme.
You have a business idea — in farming, dairy, handicraft, retail, services or tech.
You want to solve a real problem for your community.
You are ready to build — and could use mentorship, network and revolving support.
“New India is not a hashtag. It is not a slogan. It is the foundation of tomorrow — new thoughts, new vision, and the drumbeat of a new revolution rising from our rural heartland.”
— Rohan Subhash Deshmukh
