Dead Mice Build Wealth“Let me tell you about a young boy, a gold mouse and giving back to a society that has nurtured us.”

Recipe for Prosperity“Imagine if there was a recipe that combined progress and prosperity with health and the environment. But to cook, you need a stove, and not just any regular one - I am thinking of a full-fledged development appliance.”
|
Hidden Shadows“Can we really imagine, let alone practice equality and justice, if we not only treat parts of society as lesser, but also stigmatize, marginalize and look down on parts of ourselves too?”
|
Ways to Equal Pay“No country can prosper on low wage workers, and India needs to reconsider the very foundation of wages and incomes that our economy is functioning on.”
|
Digital Disrupters“For us change agents, it’s not enough to predict the future, it’s incumbent on us to create it. We need to understand how technology is moving, and be ahead of the curve in order to design programs that empower women rapidly and exponentially.“
