@mhemachari @WMMaharashtra @Warriormomsin @ChaloPmc @parisarpune @vandymini @ChaitanyaKet @BhavreenMK @VinitaDeshmukh @RajaSubramani22 I know a serious post, but I can't stop from asking - where is nowhere?

[Smit Gade @smitgade1]

@IDinsight That is very valuablea insight. But isn't 404 women out of 2,557 gig drivers make it 16% women rather than 0.8%?

New look. Same mission. Bigger ambition.

We’ve redesigned the GBL website to shine a spotlight on our growing portfolio. It’s more than a new look - our new site makes a renewed case for our particular brand of impact, spanning five key focus areas - livelihood, climate, workplace, health, and gender.

@BalgovaMaria @bankofengland Congrats @BalgovaMaria

[GoodBusinessLab @GoodBusinessLab]

Catch our founder @AnantNyshadham in conversation with @william_r_kerr on the @HarvardHBS "Managing the Future of Work podcast" – uncovering worker value for private sector across gig services, manufacturing, fast food and more.

Tune in as he discusses:

- What are the challenges faced by workers?
- What is academic research's role in shaping future work landscapes?
- How are we scaling evidence-based impact solutions?

@grumpeoldman This is great under full employment condition. If you have underused resources - producing both Rs 300 and Rs 3000 shirts make sense (in theory).

[Smit Gade @smitgade1]

@goyal_tanushree @NuffieldCollege So lucky of you :)

[GoodBusinessLab @GoodBusinessLab]
