My guest today is one of the world’s leading innovators in this effort. Rashesh Bansal is the CEO of the Reserve Bank of India’s Innovation Hub. In April, AIR worked with the RBIH and other partners on the Swanari TechSprint, named for the Hindi word meaning “self-reliant woman.”  I’m excited to have Rajesh on the show today to share a perspective that is  fascinating on so many dimensions. It’s a story of a bold new innovation strategy  invented by a major central bank. It’s a story about taking TechSprints to a whole new level as a method of regulatory innovation. It’s a story about the incredible power of public/private collaboration and co-creation of solutions for intractable problems. And it’s a story about new ideas for how to achieve full financial inclusion, in general and specifically for women.
