After the success of his initial loan, Yunus saw that such a small amount of money could change the lives of the people and thought why not do more? Since then, small collateral-free loans known as microcredit have been provided to 100 million people across all continents. With 94 per cent of the world’s income going to just 40 per cent of the population, Yunus decided it was time to do something for the remaining 60 per cent. Commercial banks did not provide such loans to the poor and women only accounted for one per cent of borrowers in Bangladesh at the time.

One such telecoms firm, Ericsson, took part in the European Business Summit held recently in Brussels -- a summit devoted this year to 'greening' the economy and reducing carbon emissions. One might wonder why a company that is neither a big polluter, nor present in the energy sector, would feel the need to participate in such a summit. Yet, Ericsson believes that information and communications technology (ICT) can help companies in other sectors reduce their carbon 'footprint'. ]]> http://knowledge.insead.edu/EBSEricssonReducingEmissions080309.cfm?vid=23 Healthcare at $1.75.
