One of the most viable pathways to securing the future of the Tibetan movement lies in nurturing a self-reliant Tibetan community.

For over six decades, the Tibetan movement has persevered through the visionary leadership of His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the tight-knit bonds within the Tibetan community. However, with the Dalai Lama aging and the Tibetan diaspora population experiencing dispersion and decline, the risks to the movement's long-term sustainability are increasing.

Our vision is rooted in fostering economic self-reliance within the Tibetan community, recognizing that a thriving entrepreneurial landscape is vital for the sustainability of the Tibetan movement.

We believe economic independence, driven by empowered entrepreneurs and a flourishing start-up ecosystem, is a cornerstone of this vision.
