In March of 2015 IMTFI arranged for a comprehensive visit to India to gather updates on four sponsored research projects with the following fellows and researchers: Mani Nandhi, Deepti KC, Nithya Joseph and Janaki Srinivasan.

This synthesis brings together the series—7 blogposts (10/2/2015-10/21/2015) featuring the four case studies—written up by IMTFI conference blogger Liz Losh. It examines a broad range of financial inclusion issues for specific targeted populations that differed by region, gender, and occupation. These studies included in-depth long-term field work with Delhi rickshaw pullers, rural women in Bihar, fishermen in Kerala, and silk workers in Karnakata.
