MicroSave Consulting (MSC)

India is the world’s second-largest consumer of fertilizers. Stakeholders must transform agriculture to meet its NDC target of a 45% reduction in emissions intensity by 2030. To this end, India must optimize fertilizer application, enhance farmer resilience, and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.  We are pleased to announce the success of our recent roundtable discussion on “GHG Emissions from the Fertilizer Value Chain and Pathways to Reduce Emissions” at the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. During this event, our team presented an in-depth study on GHG emissions throughout India’s fertilizer value chain and proposed strategies for emission reduction. The roundtable provided a valuable platform to share and validate MicroSave Consulting (MSC)’s findings, present pathways to mitigate GHG emissions from fertilizer production and usage, and evaluate and prioritize sustainable alternatives.  Key takeaways included ways to establish intersectoral linkages across all sectors, promote initiatives, such as biofertilizers and neem-coated urea, create market readiness, and prioritize research and development, among other strategies.  Our colleagues and senior officials from Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change, Government of India , UNDP, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, FAI The Fertiliser Association of India, and Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW), among others joined the discussion. #Sustainability #GHGEmissions #Agriculture #Fertilizer #ClimateAction #RoundtableDiscussion  Ajay Raghava Vasudha Foundation India Digital Green Falguni Ganguli Dr. Ravi Chandra WRI India Parul Jain Karan Kothadiya Rishabh Patidar Shakti Foundation India Kaushal Bisht Varaha Guru Koppa The Nature Conservancy Murli Dhar WWF-India kabita debnath das ICRIER Reena Singh Indian Agricultural Research Institute Niveta Jain Arti Bhatia Mitul Thapliyal Ritesh Rautela Aarjan Dixit Anant Jayant Natu Partha Ghosh Allina Tiwari Koumudee Thakur

Have you ever wondered how a country with a billion dreams navigates the complex world of financial inclusion? MicroSave Consulting (MSC)’s Managing Director Graham A N Wright has been a witness to India’s remarkable journey through the nation’s diverse landscapes, from the bustling streets of Darjeeling to Amritsar and from Leh to the serene beaches of Kanyakumari. 🚆 In 1989, he embarked on a seven-month adventure across India. This experience deepened his affection for this land and opened his eyes to its unique financial challenges and solutions. 📈 Fast forward to 2004, the India he returned to was transformed yet familiar. The landscape of microfinance and financial services had evolved dramatically, thanks to visionary NGOs and government initiatives. But how did India chart its own course in financial inclusion? 🌐 At MSC, we have been part of this transformative journey. From our early days of lending support to the growth of microfinance institutions to adapting to the digital revolution, our story intertwines with India’s financial evolution. ❓ But what lies beneath these transformations? How did India’s approach differ from the global trend, and what challenges did we face as we worked to bridge the digital divide, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic? 👉 We invite you to join us on this fascinating journey as MSC shares insights and experiences from Graham’s travels and work in India. Discover the unseen stories and the lessons learned along the way.
