It takes an analytical approach to derive insights about business models by comparing with other inclusive models seen within the same sector and through comparisons with models from a different sector. This cross sector comparison, especially with a number of case studies, would enable readers to cumulate their learning, all of which is put together in a framework in the last chapter, which should act as a guide to management students, practicing managers and entrepreneurs for understanding and analyzing any business model that intends or claims to be inclusive. The cases provided offer insights and perspectives on businesses in India and will be of interest to students and researchers. Sections of this book as well as the frameworks that are developed would be relevant for courses on social enterprises, developmental economics and inclusive business models taught anywhere in the world, given that India has emerged as a hotbed of experiments and innovations to deal with issues of poverty and inequality"--
