I was involved in facilitating the rescue of these 2 darling, when they were roaming on the footpath like 2 soft toys! Entirely dewormed and vaccinated by a kind foster family. 🦮Please share with anyone who's looking to adopt. #BangaloreDogAdoption #AdoptDontShop

Wrote a 101 on ONDC for everyone who's intrigued by the concept. Also, if you are working on any aspect of #ONDC or know of any small sellers/merchants who would benefit from it - we would love to speak with you. Do read and share!
ONDC stands for Open Network for Digital Commerce. It is been largely compared to the commerce giants like Amazon and Flipkart. So is it true? Do we really need ONDC and why? What key challenges do we forecast? Here is a small thread for a quick analysis-

Some interesting maps on financial inclusion in India @MonamiDG @d91labs
Have you wondered about what percentage of Indians have bank accounts and whether they use those accounts? We have wondered too. To find out, @MonamiDG plotted the NSSO data and mapped various metrics related to access and use of financial products. A🧵 bit.ly/3FxWoyP

These interviews are a wealth of insights on how women think about finances. Susan, our respondent, believes that unless every member of the family is involved in hhd budget decisions, they will not abide by it. Democratic system for a reason. Read - d91labs.substack.com/p/-3-su…
Replying to @d91labs
Her take on financial decision making for the households displays her understanding of financial incentives and the need to balance everyone's needs to reach a collective desirable outcome!

In this article, I discuss the gender disparity in financial inclusion in India. To bridge the gap we need to design gender-sensitive products, have more female banking correspondents, and publish gender-sliced data on financial inclusion. livemint.com/opinion/online-…

9 yo was very amused to learn that the Roman Empire was invaded by the Goths. He couldn't stop laughing at the thought of Roman legions being vanquished by skinny, pale teenagers.

This thread by a Kota alumnus on Kota Factory. Spot on 🎯
"Kota Factory" keeps glorifying the exclusivity & difficulty level of IIT-JEE through its protagonist Jeetu who makes it clear: "Don't go for IIT solely because there is no life without it or they teach well. Go for it because it is tough. Tough battles give you confidence" 1/10

Here's the report from my Fellowship at Bharat Inclusion Initiative. The bottom line is - financial inclusion strategies need to be designed differently for urban poor population. Do read, share and comment. @BharatInclusion
