My time in India actually began with a wonderful experience — attending a Yale School of Management conference on Global Social Entrepreneurship at the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad. Many of the leading social entrepreneurs in India were in attendance, with Yale student projects being presented for Akanksha Foundation, Access Development Services, Mann Deshi Mahila Group, SEWA and Udyogini. Other speakers and participants included Unmesh Brahme (HSBC and Yale World Fellow), Vijay Mahajan (Basix), Greta Goel (Dell Foundation), Aparajita Agrawal (Intellcap) and Harish Hande (Selco India).
