Ajay: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Frugal Innovations for Financial Inclusion (FI4FI) is my motto and mission. I help enable easy access to financial services for Indians, especially from villages. Entrepreneurs in rural India, especially the women, struggle to obtain enough credit to run a viable business, be it farming, dairy, or other enterprises. Credit is the most vital external input for them as it enables them to convert other resources like time, skill, and raw material into valuable products which become a source of income. Besides credit, they need other financial products including insurance, investment, and pension.
Max: Thanks for having me, Spiffy. Right now, not everyone has the opportunity to work on the problems they care most about. Starting your own company is one of the best ways to make real change in the world, but it requires a lot of resources and support from a lot of people, and in today's world, those people and resources are not easy to find. We are trying to change that.
Naroa: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! I know many of your readers around the world connect with you through the internet. Sadly, there are still 1.3 billion children around the world who have no access to the internet at home. And almost half of the world's schools remain offline. This is why Giga exists. Our mission is to connect every school in the world to the internet by 2030. And by doing that, we're bringing opportunities to all children, regardless of where they live.
