#27 Amit Jain 🇮🇳 - Enabling rural women entrepreneurs in India to have decent livelihoods with Mitti Ke Rang

🇮🇳 Amit Jain is the co-founder of Mitti Ke Rang, a social enterprise working towards generating livelihoods for women in India. They train women entrepreneurs to start small businesses and support them to sell their handicrafts across the country. 😄 Amit says he’s always happy - nothing can make him unhappy, except 2 things: when his customers are not satisfied, and when the women entrepreneurs don’t receive money on their bank accounts. 🙏 We discuss his journey escaping poverty, finding a decent job and building Mitti Ke Rang, his gratefulness to all the people who supported him throughout his life and his drive to give back to them. 💸 We go through the evolution of Mitti Ke Rang over the years, from a local charity project in Pune to a national organisation, and the transition from being donation-based to their current social enterprise model. 💪 Amit is a people’s person, always curious and questioning everything, a proud budget traveler and he’s also a good friend of Shomy (Episode 4 - I turned my pain into my life purpose) and Edward (Episode 19 - Financing grassroots innovators) ;) ❤️ TIMELINE: 3’ - Fighting to get a first job 8’ - Starting Mitti Ke Rang to give back 18’ - Partnering with the right co-founder 20’ - If you have a problem, just try and fix it 28’- Keep being curious, keep learning and unlearning, keep connecting with people 42’ - Restarting Mitti Ke Rang from scratch to support grassroots women entrepreneurs and get money in their bank account 62’ - Mitti Ke Rang’s secret e-commerce recipe 74’ - Celebrating small victories 🗒️ References: To order from Mitti Ke Rang and support them, it’s here: http://mittikerang.org/ .
