August Impact Update | From Service to Enterprise

August was a month of purpose, ambition and action.

Through our entrepreneurship awareness and mentoring initiatives, we reached 1,775 retiring Army JCOs and NCOs through 18 Awareness Programs, followed by 18 Aspiring Entrepreneurs Workshops engaging 803 participants. But awareness was only the beginning. 545 aspiring entrepreneurs enrolled for one-on-one mentoring to refine their business ideas, understand the market, strengthen their plans and take the crucial step from an idea to an enterprise.

And the results are encouraging: 126 entrepreneurs have successfully started their businesses.

Their ventures span diverse sectors and reflect the determination, discipline and adaptability of our veterans:

Agri & Allied: Corn, rice, pomegranate, sugarcane, soybean, chickpeas, lentils and other farming ventures

Animal Husbandry: Dairy, fisheries, goat farming and poultry
Retail & Trading: Clothing, hardware, electrical, medical and fertilizer stores
Food & Agri Enterprises: Honey extraction, restaurants and protein drinks
Services & Others: PG accommodation, real estate, security agencies, transport, cyber cafés and more

These are not just businesses. They are livelihoods created. Families strengthened. Local economies energized and new journeys of service beginning after military service.

We are proud to stand alongside these men as they transition from serving the nation to building enterprises that serve their communities.

But the opportunity is much bigger. There are thousands of retiring servicemen with the discipline, leadership, resilience and entrepreneurial potential to build successful businesses. We are looking for partners and funders who believe in this opportunity.

With the right support, we can take this program to many more veterans, help more ideas become viable enterprises, and create hundreds — potentially thousands — of sustainable livelihoods.

Invest in a veteran. Invest in an entrepreneur. Invest in a stronger local economy.

July 2026 | From Veterans to Job Creators
2,738 Veterans Reached. 850 Aspiring Entrepreneurs Inspired. 119 New Enterprises Created. 350+ Jobs Generated.
At I Create India, our mission goes beyond creating entrepreneurs — we create job creators.

In July, our Entrepreneurship Awareness Programs reached 2,738 retiring JCOs and NCOs through 17 programs conducted across India, introducing them to entrepreneurship as a powerful pathway to a second career.

The journey from awareness to action continued through our Aspiring Entrepreneurs Workshops, where 850 aspiring entrepreneurs received practical training to transform their ideas into viable businesses.

The results speak for themselves. 119 veterans turned their entrepreneurial aspirations into reality by launching their own enterprises, spanning diverse sectors such as dairy and poultry farming, hardware, apple and cherry farming, brick manufacturing, mustard oil extraction, medicine supply, coconut water trading, vehicle service centres, security agencies, supermarkets and travel agencies, among others.

The Ripple Effect of Entrepreneurship
The impact extends far beyond the 119 entrepreneurs.

Together, these 119 enterprises have created employment opportunities for more than 350 people — families supported, livelihoods strengthened and communities empowered.

This is the power of creating job creators.

Every entrepreneur created is not just a new business owner. They are a source of opportunity for others.

Through its Entrepreneurship Development Program, I Create India continues to empower veterans with the knowledge, confidence and mentoring needed to build sustainable enterprises — creating livelihoods for themselves and employment for others.

We are proud to announce the launch of a new Business Incubation Center (BIC) at the Assam Regimental Centre, Shillong, supported by Titan LEAP. This milestone takes the total number of operational I Create India's Business Incubation Centers across the country to 19.

Every retiring JCO and NCO has years of leadership, discipline, and operational excellence. With the right entrepreneurial guidance, these strengths can be transformed into successful businesses that create sustainable livelihoods and employment opportunities.

The overwhelming response from participants at the Entrepreneurship Awareness Workshop has reaffirmed the need for structured support during the transition from military service to entrepreneurship. Through our signature I HOPE© framework, veterans gain practical knowledge on identifying business opportunities, understanding financials, calculating profitability, developing business plans, and building the confidence to take the first step.
One participant, Hav. Dorjee Tsewang, shared:

"I came to the Assam Regimental Centre for my pension and documentation. During the three-day entrepreneurship workshop conducted by I Create India and sponsored by Titan, I realised how little I knew about running a business. I learned about business operations, challenges, profit calculation, and much more. Thank you to the I Create India team for conducting this informative workshop."

Stories like these remind us that entrepreneurship is not just about starting a business—it is about empowering veterans with the motivation, knowledge, and confidence to build a successful second career.

We thank Titan LEAP for partnering with us to enable this meaningful transformation. Together, we are helping our nation's veterans transition From Service to Self-Reliance.

From Soldier to Successful Entrepreneur

After serving the Indian Army with dedication for 17 years and retiring as a Lance Naik,from GRC, Nagpur, Raj Narayan Dubey embarked on a new mission—building his own business.

Driven by his passion for cooking, he invested ₹55 lakhs to establish a restaurant in Bikapur, Uttar Pradesh, transforming a lifelong interest into a thriving enterprise. He is also developing a homestay facility, creating new opportunities for growth and local tourism.

Coming from a humble family of eight, his journey reflects resilience, determination, and the power of self-belief. Through the HCLFoundation sponsored I Create India’s Aspiring Entrepreneurs Workshop, he gained valuable insights into business operations, pricing, customer service, manpower management, and marketing equipping him with the confidence to navigate entrepreneurship successfully.

Today, his restaurant is generating a stable income and earning appreciation from customers. Beyond personal success, he is creating local employment opportunities and inspiring fellow veterans and youth to pursue entrepreneurship.

His story proves that retirement is not the end of service it is the beginning of a new journey of self-reliance and impact.

From uniform to entrepreneurship, our veterans are scripting powerful second innings across India.

Their ventures span manufacturing, retail, and agriculture—from oil extraction units, RO plants, disposable plate manufacturing, kirana and medical stores, hardware and tile businesses, hotels and restaurants, to dairy, fish and goat farming, sericulture, vermicomposting, JCB rentals, and many more. Each enterprise reflects resilience, discipline, and the courage to build something of their own.

We are immensely proud of our Army veterans who not only served the Nation with honour but continue to serve by creating livelihoods, strengthening local economies, and becoming job creators in their communities.

Saluting their spirit of service and entrepreneurship. Jai Hind

This financial year has been a remarkable journey in empowering Indian Army Veterans to embrace entrepreneurship as a meaningful second career.

Through the Business Incubation Centers (BICs) established across Army Centers Pan India, 1,495 entrepreneurs were successfully created, turning ideas into sustainable ventures and job opportunities.

In addition, over 9,000 retiring JCOs and NCOs were trained on the nuances of entrepreneurship, enabling them to seriously consider entrepreneurship as a career option in their second innings. Our outreach efforts also helped create awareness about entrepreneurship among more than 23,000 veterans, encouraging many to explore the path of becoming job creators.

This impact would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our valued partners. I Create India extends heartfelt gratitude to HCLFoundation and IndusInd Bank for their continued commitment to empowering Indian Army Veterans and strengthening the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Together, we are not just supporting livelihoods—we are building confident entrepreneurs, creating job creators, and strengthening communities.
