“SOCIAL BUSINESS AND ITS POTENTIAL AS A TOOL TO CREATE 3-ZERO FREE WORLD – ‘ZERO’ POVERTY; ‘ZERO’ UNEMPLOYMENT AND ‘ZERO’ CARBON EMISSIONS” MODEL FOR INDIA in line with MISSION of Prof.Dr.Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Laureate, Founder, GRAMEEN BANK, BANGLADESH
Background :
Muhammad Yunus is a Bangladeshi social entrepreneur, banker, economist, and civil society leader who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for founding the Grameen Bank and pioneering the concepts of microcredit and microfinance. These loans are given to entrepreneurs too poor to qualify for traditional bank loans. Mohd.Yunus experiment is that micro-credit turned into an alternative investment fund to help fight unemployment.
To a question if people in West Bengal were not ready to take risk taking ventures as entrepreneurs, he said "I don't look at it that way. The mentality to start own ventures is there, everywhere in world including Bengal. But you have to be with them (the young unemployed)."
"There is this ocean of money all around. Poor people just want a sip of that money and we should reach it out to them," he said adding even rich people become defaulters in bank loans "but conventional banks still reach out to the rich”.
To a question about the fall of ponzy firms in Bengal, Yunus said, "While there can always be fly-by-night firms in a system and laws and legislation to check their activities, if you refer to the micro-credit concept mooted by us, it never collects money from depositors."
The inspirational story of how Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus invented microcredit, founded the Grameen Bank, and transformed the fortunes of millions of poor people around the world.
In 2006, Yunus and the Grameen Bank were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize "for their efforts through microcredit to create economic and social development from below".
After changing lives of over 9 million people in Bangladesh and generating 100,000 dollars in US, Grameen Bank experiment has been able to benefit an estimated 300 million borrowers across the world including Brazil.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee said that "lasting peace cannot be achieved unless large population groups find ways in which to break out of poverty" and that "across cultures and civilizations, Yunus and Grameen Bank have shown that even the poorest of the poor can work to bring about their own development". Yunus has received several other national and international honours. He received the United States Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009 and the Congressional Gold Medal in 2010.
The microfinance movement was started off by one man: Muhammad Yunus, with one vision: to eradicate poverty from the world. Muhammad Yunus, the Bangladeshi economist, widely known as the Father of Microfinance founded the Grameen Bank to make small loans to the poor in Bangladesh.
Dr. Yunus was greatly influenced by his mother who was known to never turn away anyone in need. The famine that hit Bangladesh in 1974 pushed him to do something about poverty. During his visits to the poorest households in the village of Jobra, he realised that a small loan can make a big difference to a poor person. He made his first loan to 42 women in the village, with just USD $27 from his own pocket. With this money, the women were able to make baskets, sell them and quickly repay the money they borrowed from him. He began to see that small loans would not only help them survive, but create in them the spark of enterprise and this could empower them and pull them out of poverty.
Since traditional banks refused to make small loans to the poor, the idea for Grameen Bank was born. In 1976, Dr Yunus launched the activities of Grameen bank, giving out microloans to the poor. In 1983, Grameen Bank was officially formed. The borrowers typically repay back the loan in small weekly installments. In small villages with no access to banks, Grameen has brought banking to people’s homes. The bank’s 22,149 staff serve 8.37 million borrowers at their door-step in 81,379 villages all over Bangladesh, every week. So far, Grameen Bank has disbursed USD $11 billion in loans.
The success of the Grameen microfinance model has inspired hundreds of countries throughout the world, including the USA. Grameen Bank and Dr.Yunus jointly won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006.
Idea :

- To do business is to solve problems and not motive of making profits
- Many companies have started SOCIAL BUSINESS through their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) – Tatas, SodexHo, Ceat, etc., creating Social Business

Mission of Microfinance :
Two types of Micro Credit :

- I, Yunus, became as Guarantor
- Banks thought I am becoming nuisance and they finally agreed
- Banks started controlling and I thought of creating a bank myself

- If you find any poor person in Bangladesh, you will get 100 dollars
- Poverty Museum – how horrible poverty used to be
ENTREPRENEURSHIP BY WOMEN :
- Impressed by entrepreneur ability by women
- All human beings are entrepreneurs
THOUGHT OF PROGRAMME FOR BEGGAR AS AN ENTREPRENEUR? :
- Let us bring programme to beggars – even beggars can become independent entrepreneur
- Talked to beggars and studied their way of living
- I studied generations of beggars – three generation beggars
- Real person resides in them
- How they lived – go house to house begging – Told them would you mind carry a basket of merchandise with you – cookies, biscuits, etc.
- You go begging anyway – carry a basket with you – we give money loan say Rs.300 – Rs.500 to buy merchandise
- 6 to 9 months studied business
- Slowly slowly Business expanded from 1000 beggars to 1 lac beggars
- Study showed – We bring merchandise, they opened the door and gave us stool to sit.
- Children tell them to bring sweets, chocolates, etc.
- Beggars became Marketing agents for families
- Two years of operation of this idea – One-fourth of beggars stopped begging
- They already know which house is good for begging and which one is good for selling – Market segmentation
- Not gone to Harvard University – SELF /EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
QUESTION ?
- Can a Beggar become an Entrepreneur??
- ALL HUMANS ARE BORN BEGGARS??
- YES – People/Banks should look them differently
- COMPULSION – SAVING HABIT - To have SAVINGS BANK ACCOUNT OPENED IN GRAMEEN BANK
- Put any amount of money and even one paisa is welcome in SB Account
- Last 2017 – Total 3 billion loan and 2.25 billion accounts
- SB Account Savings in their account far exceeded amount of their loans
- Today, Beggars have respect and proudly say to BANKS – Beggars are not BORROWERS of BANKS – Beggars are LENDERS to BANKS
- It is our responsibility to make sure illiteracy ends at parents level
- Children must go to school and job of Bank is to ensure there is no dropouts
- Study as much as you want School/College – education loan – Grameen Bank is Your Bank – you can go as far as you want. No Job in Bangladesh.
- Why looking for jobs ?
- Job is obsolete idea.
- – I am JOB CREATOR (THINK BIG) - I am job seeker (THINK SMALL)
LEARNING FROM SCHOOL – MESSAGE TO YOUTH?
- Taught in School – History, Geography, Civic – But nobody taught – How to start a life? How to become an entrepreneur?
- Self/Experiential Learning made her an Entrepreneur - Mother being illiterate but had courage to ask for loan of $20 or $30 – she mobilized all confidence in bank and continued business.
- How come your mother knows it and you (children) don’t know it. She did not wait others to teach her – How to start her life
- You (children) are an artificial person as you went to school
- School should be making lives not jobs for the people
- Get rid of bad things in your head – artificial humanbeing
- Join hands with Venture Capital – We Invest and become a Partner – If you need Second round of money, we will Lend you!
TAKE AWAYS / FINDINGS :
Learning from Quotes:
‘Empathy’ – Open it Up
Entrepreneurs are not just born, they are made!
“Become Business Minded - Not Service Minded”
“I was born intelligent, education ruined me”
THINK – What is the Purpose of MY LIFE? To be USEFULE TO OTHERS – To Become an Entrepreneur – To be Job Creator - THINK BIG? To serve Society in particular and Nation in general
MSMEs/Banks Lending to BEGGARS – thus making them an ‘ENTREPRENEUR’ – They should be looked differently
Mission of Micro Finance is to get people out of Poverty
Move away from greed civilisation to Selfless Civilisation based on Empathy, Fellowship and Humanity
A WONDERFUL THOUGHT TO PONDER?
- All Humans are Born Beggars & Entrepreneurs
- Poverty is not created by people
- Poverty is created by the system
Entrepreneurs are Risk takers and who have fire in their belly
I –Create – ‘I ‘ to ‘Infinity’ – Ideate, Innovate and Transform
“There is so much of best in worst of us.
There is so much of worst in best of us.
So who are we to judge rest of us”
The greatest mistake of most of the human beings:
We listen half
Understand quarter
Think zero
But react double and then remember that forever
Every human has vast potential. Only thinking makes him small.
Entrepreneurship - In the words of Shri Narayan murthy, mentor Infosys:
- Converting idea into jobs and contributing to wealth and growth of the country
- Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) flourish and add value to economy.
- Entrepreneurs are Leaders who create more jobs and more wealth for nation. Contributing to nation building, e.g., Mahatma Gandhi a great leader.
- Enhance confidence of people – dream and reach for the stars
- Inspire people in hour of confusion, dilemma and turbulent times.
- Six Attributes for success – you will succeed in toughest times
o Openness to ideas
o Merit
o Value system, discipline – Motivation – lead by example
o Innovation
o Excellence
o Execution
Any company’s failure is that they have overlooked some aspect of risk/attributes. You will get listed, even not then you have your investors/customers.
Let bad news take the elevators.
Good news take the stairs.
Entrepreneurs should be able to –
1) Predict Revenues – Forecast revenue system
2) Sustain those predictions – actual sales, customers need, deliver on time and quality
3) Profitability – as profitable as possible – sell better, new ideas, innovative products and increased margins (control your cost)
4) Reduce fixed costs and reduce indirect cost
5) Derisking your work – no one geography, different avenues of technology, not relying on one employee/skilled talent.
It is said “Do not keep all eggs in one basket”
Decide what you want to become as an entrepreneur. Imagine If the following are kept in hot water what happens :
1) Carrot – it is hard and strong before – subject to heat resistant they become soft
2) Egg – nice and well protected outside and soft inside – after the inside also becomes hard
3) Coffee Beans – hard and strong before – after changed its form and merged into milk and also resisted heat
Be like Coffee Beans - Winners and Leaders are like ‘Coffee Beans’ – they can survive under all circumstances and challenging times.
Innovate the Model before Business Plan
Committed/competent – innate qualities
Constantly reinvent your business model
Outreach and within reach of people – Explore the Unexplored
Be Different - Be MAD (Making a Difference)
I want to make a DIFFERENCE :
“Two roads diverged in a wood and I took the one less travelled by – and that has made all the difference” – Robert Frost –
Yeh Dil Mange More attitude – Change Your Attitude
Go beyond customers to stakeholders
Be Leader and inspire your team
Innovation is risky,
Non-innovation is fatal – Philip Kotler
Believe in Yourself - Never compare yourself with others, you are insulting yourself
Self-confidence is very important
Remember : Nobody is perfect – I am Nobody
“If God only used perfect people nothing would ever get done”
Fire in belly / Passion
Question Everything
Able to face Challenges
Entrepreneurship - Total Empowerment – Will you be able to do in service?? THINK
Able to take Risk

Case Study :
Baramati Hi-Tech Textile Park Ltd.(BHTPL) :
Since the year 1967, Hon.Shri Sharad Pawar, renowed politician of the nation, transformed Baramati into modern village by bringing canal irrigation, co-operatives like milk societies, sugar factories, poultry and various industries. He then realized the need for creating skilled and respectful employment opportunities for women.
Taking the advantage of a Scheme for Integrated Textile Park (SITP) of Government of India, he decided to start textile park in Baramati. A special purpose vehicle (SPV) called “Baramati Hi-Tech Textile Park Ltd. (BHTPL)” was set up over sprawling 60 acres of land which would house small domestic garment manufactures. BHTPL is situated MIDC region of Baramati about 100 kms. from Pune in Maharashtra State.
BHTPL was established by a group of entrepreneurs under the patronage of Ms.Sunetra Ajit Pawar. BHTPL consists of a comprehensive group of textile oriented units specializing in function such as Garmenting, Apparel Printing and Packaging, Home Furnishing, Embroidery, Dry Cleaning and Technical Textile within the Textile Park. It also has a series of smaller units available such as ancillary support units. The park was commissioned in a scheduled 18 months time frame.
The establishment of BHTPL also aimed at economization of the production costs. With the relentless efforts of Ms.Sunetra Pawar, BHTPL offers state-of-the-art infrastructure and also makes available local, skilled and trained labour. To further enable the success of the Park, she made provision for transportation services for women travelling from relatively longer distances. The Park provides common Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) to process industrial sewage processing and also has a solar power generation unit for generating solar electricity.
Knowing that the success of any organization lies in the training and better work environment of its employees, the part has set up an ultra modern counter for various banking needs, R&D and Quality Centre for designing of world class products and meeting global quality standards, cafeteria for refreshments and an innovative crèche within the campus of the Park.
Another way in which BHTPL proved to be benchmark was by drawing out the benefits of Government entailed facilities and schemes for the progress of entrepreneurs. It not only provided the employees with adequate training, but also helped them in the overall development of their personality and upliftment of their living standards.
Benefits of BHTPL :
In the era of women empowerment, BHTPL has set an unique example for textile industry in India by being an 100% women oriented unit. This outstanding and unique concept was noticed by then first women President of India, Hon.Pratibha tai Patil.
