Udyogini's approach is based on a model of capacity building for women that differentiates between stages of income generation, as women first take steps towards livelihood security, and then towards enterprise growth. Udyogini's programs are consistent with this model, with services geared to different elements and stages of capacity building for grassroots women (from the bottom-up), with a simultaneous thrust in market development for products and services. The approach is strategic; a limited number of activities are thoroughly researched for scale and promoted.
