  • Incentives, Impact and Inache
    Oct 5 2023

    Can technology be harnessed to empower worker voice?

    We talk about how the worker voice tool, Inache, helps to address accumulated frustration, unresolved blockages, and untapped ideas in a labor-intensive setting and facilitates simple communication between management and workers. 

    Listen to interesting insights from GBL folks on what challenges  and worker-behavior factors were considered while developing Inache. 

    We discuss more about the tool’s reception and case stories from workers themselves. 

    Visit GBL Ventures to know more about Inache.

  • What do rural women think of paid work?
    Sep 18 2023

    Do rural women want paid work? How far are they willing to go for paid work? What do they think of flexible and formal paid employment opportunities? How do they view men’s role in household dynamics? We try to find answers to these questions through the lens of the Female Labour Supply project- designed to provide a formal and flexible employment option for rural women.


    Tune in to the village of Nimdih, where GBL worked with women to understand their needs better. As we unravel more about the project's overall design, we also try to understand whether these distinctive interventions can hold their own in the marketplace.
