Kunal Chawla is responsible for
implementing self-sustaining, livelihood generation strategies for Drishtee,
a rural development company in India. He is also working to
enhance Drishtee's rural education offerings.
Kunal graduated from the University of Texas
at Austin and worked as a technical consultant
for several leading financial services companies in the US and Canada prior to joining Drishtee.
Drishtee is a double-bottom line organization which implements
self-sustaining solutions to problems of global health, poverty, education in
rural India
to create a lasting positive social impact. Drishtee accomplishes this by
providing a bouquet of essential products and services to people in rural India.
These services include health care, livelihood, microfinance, education,
market access etc. These are disseminated through a large network of
franchisees (over 4,200) - particularly women, across rural India. Through these
franchisees, Drishtee identifies the need from the bottom of the pyramid,
creates new or morphs existing products and services to fit the rural
landscape and distributes them through a rural supply chain system.
