Management Guru Discusses 'Creative Capitalism'
December 24, 2008 - C.K. Prahalad is a management thinker and author of the best-selling The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid: I am very interested in opportunities that incorporate the poor at the bottom of the pyramid into the global supply chain, not just at the local level. For example, I am writing a case study of an Indian company called Jaipur Rugs. They receive wool from as far away as Australia, New Zealand, China and Argentina. It is then blended with wool from Rajasthan in India. 40,000 women in rural India create classical and contemporary handmade carpets that are then sold in the United States. This is the ultimate global supply chain, where the poor are woven into the supply chain. This is the democratization of commerce.

The bank expects private investors, drawn by the sector's social mission, stable returns, low default rates and potential as a diversification play, will be pouring $20 billion into micro-finance institutions in 2015 - ten times more than they did in 2006. "India has a vast experience in the area of micro-financing, which has contributed to the development of families belonging to low income groups," Bahrain's Minister for Social Development Fatima Al Balooshi says.

6th August 2008: Converting the poor into micro-consumers and micro-producers—recognising the fortune at the bottom of the pyramid—has changed the character of the economy. Yes, there are still 200 million Indians who live in abject poverty. But the cell phone revolution, two-wheelers, consumer finance, and consumer goods of all kinds are fuelling the economy and changing peoples’ lives. Cell phones have shown that there is a huge untapped market. Amul, ITC eChoupal, Jaipur rugs, EID Parry and Reliance Fresh are showing us that we can creatively connect subsistence farmers to regional and national markets. Micro-producers can get a chance to improve their livelihoods.
