#27 Amit Jain 🇮🇳 - Enabling rural women entrepreneurs in India to have decent livelihoods with Mitti Ke Rang
Play • 1 hr 30 min

🇮🇳 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) ;)
