Anaxee assists businesses and brands in connecting with Bharat. Its network of ‘Digital Runners’ goes door to door in isolated rural and semi-urban areas, bridging the digital divide for clients. Anaxee Digital Runners’ “Project Swaraksha” won a $1 million pledge from United Way of Bengaluru in July of this year (UWBe). The goal of the study was to eliminate COVID-19 vaccine apprehension among the rural population.
Project Swaraksha, which started on May 22, 2021, aims to deploy over 20,000 digital runners to allow individuals in rural and semi-urban regions access the CoWin app and locate local vaccination centres.Anaxee, a last-mile outreach and data-collection service provider in India, seeks to address this type of digital divide with Project Swaraksha.

Moreover, half of India is rural, and the country is geographically dispersed. Despite widespread internet access, businesses and, social projects often struggle to reach rural populations. Companies require a dispersed network to capture this distributed demand, which Anaxee solves with its ‘network-as-a-service’
offering.
Anaxee, founded in 2016 by the husband and wife team: Arti and Govind Agrawal, combines both tech stacks and on-the-ground manpower to reach out to individuals in the most remote areas of India. Apart from ensuring deep reach in the most rural corners of India, Anaxee also assists customers in developing datadriven business models. Arti & Govind have genuinely demonstrated that in this digital age, there is a chance to improve people’s lives in ways that were unimaginable just a few decades ago.

Anaxee Extends Heartfelt Gratitude to Shri Biren Singh, Hon’ble Chief Minister for Launching Project Swaraksha in Manipur.

On Monday October 11th, Manipur Chief Minister Shri. N. Biren Singh launched the “COVID-19 Vaccination Express” which will distribute vaccinations to people’s homes across the state and also announced the commencement of Project Swaraksha, a collaboration between USAIDNISHTHA/Jhpiego.

Under Project Swaraksha, the USAID NISTHA team would mobilize those people who are hesitant to take vaccines and bring them to vaccination centres.

Dr Sapam Ranjan, Advisor to the Chief Minister on Health, Minister Shri S. Rajen, Minister Shri Vungzagin Valte, and D.C. of Imphal West Shri Kiran Kumar were among those who attended the ceremony. Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Biren Singh, spoke at the event, asking the public to be vaccinated willingly and to avoid spreading misleading information about vaccines’ effects. He claimed that in the recent past, roughly 97-98 percent of those who died from COVID-19 were unvaccinated. He emphasised the significance of total vaccination across the state to combat the pandemic, and urged local clubs and social organisations to help the vaccination campaign by providing information to those who have not yet been vaccinated and encouraging them to do so as soon as possible. Shri Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister, was also congratulated by the Chief Minister for his concern for the state and his initiative to provide free vaccination to all citizens.

Anaxee also expresses thanks to Crypto Relief for this support.
