Nearly 70% of Small and Growing Businesses (SGBs) in emerging markets face a critical funding shortage that hampers their operations and growth, despite their pivotal role in economic development and job creation. A thought-provoking session at the ANDE 2024 Global Annual Conference brought how India’s innovative digital infrastructure approach can offer a potential solution to this challenge. 

Preethi Rao, Partnerships & Outreach Director, LEAD and Abhishek Modi, Lead – Digital Platform, Sattva Knowledge Institute, shared their valuable insights on how leveraging DPI strategies can transform financial inclusion and empower SGBs on a global scale. They also explored the roles of philanthropy, innovators, fintech companies, and regulators in making these digital solutions accessible to the last mile.
