Big Ben at Night
Thirty years ago, I was a Parliamentary researcher. I had access to the House of Commons and worked with Members of Parliament in Norman Shaw North. Yesterday morning, I took time out from my 'day job' and retraced some of those steps.
Pingar's UK T&I Global Entrepreneur Program Dealmaker is Sheetal Mehta. Away from her 'day job', Sheetal is passionate about providing micro finance to the very poor, particularly in India and Nepal. The business is called Shivia and you can find out more about its work here. Yesterday's visit to Parliament was all about raising profiles.
One of the amazing thing about many entrepreneurs is not what they earn, but what they give back. It is probably an untold story. Shivia is a great example of what business and entrepreneurs can do to actively assist alleviate poverty at a grass routes level. It was an inspiring meeting. It is an inspiring story. Definitely one to check out.
