Partnership between Dr. Virginia Rivera and Indian social entrepreneur and human rights attorney Adv. Peeyush Pandit.

New Delhi, India—May 29, 2025 — A visionary partnership between American entrepreneur Dr. Virginia Rivera and Indian social entrepreneur and human rights attorney Adv. Peeyush Pandit is transforming the landscape of rural India through the groundbreaking E-Village initiative. Rooted in a shared commitment to empowerment and innovation, their collaboration is redefining lives by advancing education, entrepreneurship, and economic independence for women in underserved communities.

Since joining forces in 2023, Dr. Rivera—now Vice President of the Peeyush Group of Companies and Trust—and Adv. Pandit—President of the Group and Chairman of Swarna Bharat Parivaar Trust—have elevated E-Village into a global model for sustainable rural development. Their leadership has catalyzed the creation of Mahila Udyami, a transformative initiative that empowers women through entrepreneurial training, financial literacy, and tailored mentorship programs.

🌱 A Holistic Hub of Growth

At the heart of E-Village is James International School, which provides quality education to children ages 2–18, reinforcing the belief that community empowerment begins with learning. Complementing this, Swarna Valley offers a powerful example of rural tourism and sustainable living—featuring natural water pools, mud houses, open-air kitchens, canoeing on the Golden Valley River, and organic fruit-picking experiences. It is a celebration of culture, nature, and empowerment in harmony.

“Together, we are not just building businesses—we are creating legacies of empowerment that will uplift generations,”
— Dr. Virginia Rivera

Under Dr. Rivera’s visionary leadership, the Mahila Udyami Center has already equipped thousands of women with the tools to launch businesses, strengthen their families’ economic stability, and lead change in their communities.

🤝 Collaboration That Crosses Borders

Adv. Pandit envisions E-Village as a comprehensive platform for empowerment.

“This partnership bridges continents and cultures, proving that collaboration can ignite extraordinary change,”
— Adv. Peeyush Pandit

Their work gained global recognition at the Global Entrepreneurship and Edupreneurship Festival (GEEF) 2025, where Dr. Rivera presented E-Village’s success, inspiring new alliances and international engagement. Looking ahead, the team is preparing for GEEF 2026, scheduled for February 27 – March 1, where they plan to expand their impact and reach new audiences.

💡 Real Impact, Real Change

This initiative is already transforming lives:

• Rural women are starting sustainable businesses

• Families are managing finances with confidence

• Entire communities are becoming more resilient and self-reliant

By uniting Dr. Rivera’s global perspective with Adv. Pandit’s deep understanding of India’s cultural landscape, E-Village is cultivating a brighter, more inclusive future.
