Name: Saloni Tandon Location: India Occupation: Manager at MicroSave Consulting (MSC) What achievement makes you most proud? At MSC, we have been able to ensure that the Government of India and the banking infrastructure work together in an efficient and effective manner to rapidly onboard beneficiaries on to the formal financial system and enroll them in affordable social protection schemes. Over the last two years, we have helped establish new protocols, and enhance the efficiency of the existing ones across 27 districts. This has helped ensure that over 20 million new beneficiaries have access to basic bank accounts. Our project has been deemed successful and has allowed the Government of India to expand it across all 112 backward 'aspirational' districts in the form of a dedicated government led mission. This has been a major achievement for us. It allows us to share critical policy level recommendations with the government, with the aim of ensuring that all people in the country have access to basic bank accounts, and social protection.
