REGIONAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP INNOVATION NETWORK

The interface for impact entrepreneurship.

Local problems need local solutions. The entrepreneurs best placed to solve them need an ecosystem that stays — connecting them to community, capability, and capital.

THE NETWORK IN PRACTICE

People are the infrastructure.

Every number on this site represents a person building something that matters — a founder, facilitator, learner, mentor, or partner. REIN exists to help those people find one another and move further, together.

WHAT WE ARE

The infrastructure layer behind impact entrepreneurship.

REIN is infrastructure. Since 2018 as Vruksh Ecosystem Foundation, now unified under a single name that carries institutional weight globally. We connect impact entrepreneurs to the community, capability, and capital they need to grow — and we connect institutions that want to reach them.

From Nagpur across South Asia. A proven model. Built for the next phase of scale.

An ecosystem needs five things: talent, enablers, culture, capital and policy. REIN builds all of them.

BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP

A network built by showing up.

REIN began with the Nagpur Startup Community in 2013 — a volunteer-led effort to make entrepreneurship more accessible. That same instinct still shapes the work: listen closely, build locally, and create systems that keep working after the program ends.
