About the Book
A Fistful of Rice: My Unexpected Quest to End Poverty Through Profitability by Vikram Akula is a compelling account of how entrepreneurial thinking and microfinance can be used to address poverty on a large scale. Drawing on his experiences founding one of India's leading microfinance institutions, Akula chronicles the challenges, successes, and controversies involved in bringing financial services to underserved communities. The book explores the intersection of business, social entrepreneurship, and economic development, demonstrating how market-based solutions can empower low-income families while creating sustainable impact. Rich with personal insights and real-world experiences, it is an essential read for entrepreneurs, development professionals, policymakers, business leaders, and anyone interested in financial inclusion and social innovation.
