The Story Behind the Blog
Microfinance Insights was founded by Raghav Kumar, a passionate advocate for financial literacy and economic development.
Raghav, originally from a small town in India, witnessed first-hand the challenges faced by communities without access to formal banking systems.
He saw how microfinance institutions (MFIs) and community-based financial solutions could radically change lives by providing loans, savings options, and insurance to those who otherwise had no access to financial services.
After earning a degree in Economics and working for several years with a renowned microfinance NGO, Raghav decided to launch Microfinance Insights five months ago, with the goal of demystifying microfinance for a global audience.
His mission is simple: to share insights, trends, and analysis that help individuals, organizations, and governments make informed decisions about microfinance policies and initiatives.
Through this blog, Raghav hopes to inspire others, especially in developing countries, to harness the potential of microfinance as a means of empowerment.
His personal journey and deep understanding of the microfinance landscape fuel his commitment to providing educational, accurate, and actionable content.
