<div>In 2017, Catalyst will plan to set up two digital labs – one in Jaipur, an urban geography, and another in a TBD location but most likely a rural geography. After demonstrating a sustainable and scalable ecosystem level enablement, Catalyst will shift focus to institutionalizing and scaling successful initiatives. These scale-ups can be vertical specific (i.e., linked to a specific sector/initiative like digitization of MFI loan repayments) or horizontal across a city-level template.</div>
