Events
Intellecap’s two large annual events, Sankalp and Srijan, are focused on social innovation and microfinance. They provide a platform for global dialogue and create a network for powerful alliances among sector leaders and innovators. Srijan, also has the Srijan Awards Ceremony that recognizes the top contributors to the microfinance sector. Both these events play a dynamic role in spawning impactful and implementable ideas for positive change.
The Knowledge & Insights team at Intellecap also partners with interested co-sponsors and stakeholders to host theme events that vary in size, from highly-personalized roundtable meetings to large industry gatherings of over 500 people. These theme events are conceptualized to address a trend in the development sector, to deliver on specific knowledge needs of industry participants, and to create awareness, generate interest and provide information on the development space to the larger public.
Through these events Intellecap’s aim is to be the prime mover in bringing together investors and enterprises, and to create a groundswell of interest and thought in sustainable social business models.

Srijan
To further invigorate the microfinance sector and uncover new approaches that will enable achieving greater financial inclusion, Intellecap has designed the Srijan Microfinance Business Plan Competition.
Organized each year since 2005, the competition is a search for entrepreneurs that have an innovative plan to address the resource and infrastructure challenges faced by the sector. The long term vision is to create an inclusive financial sector.
The last four years have seen the competition become synonymous with entrepreneurial spirit, creativity, and innovation. Srijan has witnessed an immense response from microfinance institutions, not-for-profits, educational institutions, and young entrepreneurs all over the country.
