Resilience for inclusive businesses: pivoting business models in times of Coronavirus- Webinar
The Covid-19 pandemic affects all businesses across geographies and sectors. Inclusive businesses and their low-income customers, however, are poised to be hit particularly hard. Fortunately, inclusive businesses are risk-taking pioneers in essence, and most have already taken action to protect their staff, customers, and to find innovative ways to stay in business during this market context. As public spaces close and people are forced to stay at home, many inclusive businesses have shifted their model and pivoted their operations in a matter of days to continue serving their consumers with beneficial products and services that are more needed than ever.
In this webinar, a panel of practitioners shared some of these stories and discuss solutions, hoping to help as many inclusive businesses as possible in contributing with their own responses to the crisis.
Panel members:
Philip Wilson, Founder of Ecofiltro, Guatemala
Mike Sherry, Director of Mwezi, Kenya
Laura Pargade, Marketing Director of Moon, Senegal/France
Geeta Kanupillai, GM Marketing and Communication at Sarvajal, India
