Announcing the Mission Billion Summit by @changengine_in

Mission Billion is a one-day, founder-first convening for #Nonprofits and #SocialEnterprises that are building towards population-scale impact.

The focus is simple: what does it actually take to scale impact and create the next generation of #NonprofitUnicorns

What to expect?
The agenda is designed around founders - with practical scale toolkits, masterclasses from entrepreneurs who’ve built at scale, and conversations that bring in government and funder perspectives where they matter.

- 12+ curated sessions and hands-on masterclasses
- Founder–funder circles and 1:1 office hours
- Lightning talks focused on real scaling journeys
- 25+ speakers and senior leaders across philanthropy, nonprofits & government

📍 India International Centre, New Delhi
📅 29 January 2026

If you’re a founder building towards scale or someone closely involved in supporting that journey, we’d love to have you join us.

Early bird passes are now live.

In @Economic times, @varaggarwal & @TarunKhannaHBS make the case that to create nonprofit unicorns with population scale impact, government must help unlock unrestricted innovation capital for experimentation and iteration.

Startups are cool.
But non-profits? They’re straight up DOPE. 😎✨

🌍 Impact > income: change a billion+ lives, not just chase $.
🧠 Work with the sharpest minds + biggest hearts.
📚 Growth no degree can match.
