The Small Business Empowerment Lab (SBEL) works with India’s rapidly digitalizing small businesses—across sectors, regions, and business models—as they navigate the shifting rules and systems that shape their online presence. From neighborhood shops and home-based sellers to service providers and creators, these businesses form the backbone of India’s economy but are often left out of decisions that directly affect them.

SBEL fills that gap—with clear information, skill-building, and shared voice. Whether it is responding to a proposed policy, or learning how to improve their visibility on digital platforms, SBEL gives small businesses the tools to act and grow.

We work with a diverse range of businesses——building a community rooted in learning, visibility, and shared voice.

Vision

A digital landscape where India’s small businesses can speak up, be seen, and grow.

Mission

To help small businesses across India understand digital laws and policies, make the most of digital tools for growth, and raise their collective voice—through thoughtful, representative advocacy—on the issues that affect them online.

Centered on collective voice and practical growth
