Full article here. It's incredible how much media attention we've received this past year!! -- and not just from the Indian press, but also from international publications like the Economist, BBC, Financial Times, and The Times London (to see these articles, click here.)
When I think back to my business school interviews (crazy to believe that was five years ago!!) -- I distinctly remember how confused my interviewer was when I talked about my desire to apply business models towards international social change (I didn't know the term "social enterprise" then).
In response to my excitement around microfinance, he replied (in the nicest way possible): "Wow, that sounds great. But in choosing applicants, one thing the school looks at is placeability... do you really think there will be jobs in that field after you finish business school?"
Ha.
So it's exciting that fields like microfinance and social enterprise are now common household terms, and mainstream press cover organizations like LifeSpring. What a difference a few years makes! It's exciting to think about what's up ahead.
