SKS cited in recent The Economist survey on microfinance, "The
hidden wealth of the poor", by Tom Easton
Hyderabad � SKS is prominently
featured in new The Economist �survey� on global microfinance and
the future of the industry. Spanning six articles and ten pages, New
York Bureau Chief, Tom Easton, covers everything from the basics of
microfinance to capital markets and securitization.
Tom spent a day in the field with SKS back in September and
highlights the organization throughout the survey. The first article
opens with an image of a SKS center meeting and describes in detail
some of SKS� advanced technology infrastructure and innovations,
�SKS, a fast-growing microfinance institution in India, has had to
build back-office systems that can work on two hours of power a day;
it closely monitors voltage when its computers are running and keeps
a diesel generator on hand.�
