Week 15 Reading Reflection

1. The biggest surprise to me while reading the Harvard business review article was that someone who makes on $10/day is considered in the lower middle class in India. I wasn't aware of this situation.

2. The part of the reading that was most confusing to me was when the author spoke about the incorporation of technology. It seemed odd to me that technology would be useful in a situation where people were borrowing such small amounts of money.

3. 2 questions that I thought of for the author while reading were

1. Did you ever consider giving into the pressure that the gangs were imposing?
2. What made you so passionate about implementing microfinancing in India?

4. A part of the reading that I not necessarily thought the author was wrong about but simply disagreed with was the part where they mentioned how microfinancing is the solution to poverty. In my opinion, the solution is education, however,  I value the difference in opinion.
