This is where the book gets really interesting. The authors propose practical
solutions based on their research. They talk about leveraging local networks, like
microfinance institutions with human agents, and even exploring offline options for
those wary of the digital world. It's not just about the tech; it's about understanding
the human aspect of financial inclusion.
Now, this book isn't a tech manual. If you're looking for a deep dive into the nitty-
gritty of blockchain or coding, you might be disappointed. The focus here is on the
social impact which is why it makes it so compelling, especially for students. It shows
how fintech can be a powerful tool for development, particularly when it prioritizes
the needs of the underbanked population.
"FinTech for Billions" isn't without its limitations. Some of the proposed solutions felt
a little idealistic, and one would like to see more discussion on potential challenges
with implementation. However, it definitely sparks curiosity and makes one realize
the immense potential of fintech for good.
Overall, this book is a good read for anyone interested in financial inclusion,
development studies, or even just the future of finance in India. It's well-written,
engaging, and sheds light on a critical issue in a way that's both informative and
inspiring.
