PwD-VyapariAn e-Vyapari initiative for Persons with Disabilities
⚠️ Proposal under review: Saksham 3.0 – Assistive Technology Accelerator Program. A national program by Startup Accelerator Chamber of Commerce (SACC) that helps startups build accessible, affordable and scalable solutions for persons with disabilities — through mentorship, product testing, funding access and market linkages with experts, corporates and investors.

PwD-Vyapari

More than registration — real support for vendors with disabilities

PwD-Vyapari adds five extra benefits on top of e-Vyapari: a fixed place to sell, timely scheme alerts, skills training, corporate job links and CSR funding support. Digital. Dignity. Independence.

Benefit 1

A fixed place to sell — chosen with accessibility in mind

Selling from a different corner every day is hard for anyone, and harder with a mobility or visual disability. PwD-Vyapari proposes dedicated vending spots, allotted by the Urban Local Body.

  • Spots allotted through the ULB / Town Vending Committee, shown on the geotagged map
  • Step-free, even ground close to footpaths, transit points and customer footfall
  • Fewer relocation drives — a stable location builds regular customers
  • Apply for a location right from the app and track the status

Benefit 2

Never miss a government scheme meant for you

Many schemes for persons with disabilities go unclaimed simply because vendors never hear about them in time. PwD-Vyapari sends alerts when a relevant scheme opens.

  • Alerts in English, Gujarati and Hindi for central and state schemes
  • Eligibility shown in plain words, with the documents you need
  • Reminders before deadlines, plus help from field volunteers where needed
  • Fits alongside PM SVANidhi and other vendor schemes already in e-Vyapari
Benefit 3

Skills training that grows the business

Training is offered with partner charities, training institutes and skill-development bodies — in formats that work for different disabilities.

  • Digital payments, QR collection, pricing and stock management
  • Food safety, packaging, customer handling and basic accounts
  • New trades for vendors who want to add or change their income source
  • Accessible formats: audio-guided, large-text and sign-language support where available

Benefit 4

Employability opportunities through corporates

Some PwD vendors want to stay entrepreneurs; others want a steady job. PwD-Vyapari proposes a bridge to companies that are committed to inclusive hiring.

  • Job and apprenticeship openings from partner corporates, shown after skill matching
  • Supply links — corporates buying from PwD vendors for events, canteens and gifting
  • A verified profile (VUIN) that builds trust with employers
  • Corporate HR teams can register as partners through “Build With Us”

Benefit 5

CSR fund facility for PwD vendors

Corporates have CSR budgets; PwD vendors have clear, verifiable needs. PwD-Vyapari proposes a transparent route that connects the two — with every contribution mapped to a verified vendor.
