1. The biggest surprise to me in the reading was what SKS did and how they were able to help extremely poor people make some money. The story about Saryamma going from making $2 a week to having multiple buffalo and owning acres of land and getting her husband out of servitude just from a small loan is absolutely amazing.
2. I was slightly confused as to how the author was able to find the capital to sustain giving unsecured loans to poor people. Surely, many of them might not pay on time or at all and you have to take some losses.
3. The first question I have for the author is, "How do you plan on cutting your loan officer training time down to one month?" I ask this because training takes time and people learn at different speeds. The second question I have for the author is, "Do you plan on expanding outside of India?" I ask this because the company is successful there and it would be great to help other poor people in other countries.
4. There was nothing in the article that I disagreed with. I think what the author is doing is a wonderful thing and I wish them the best of luck and great growth in their business.
