Greetings to my fellow students and faculty blogging/viewing this site.

Prof Zak screened the video about water access and 5 local solutions last week. It profiled this organization that installed the meters that measure use and track users in Western India.
I found this very inspiring talk online and wanted to share the perspective of Mr. Anand Shah, CEO of Sarvajal, touching upon core values of social enterprise, generating ideas for action as well as his suggestions on starting up. It is in three parts. He is speaking to some audience in India and occasionally speaks in Hindi. I rupee = approx 2c and 1 crore=10 million
