Thanks Arjuna

I agree that multinational corporations don't make good partners

I am thinnking of a sustainable social enterprise (here in India) with
no  uprfont startup capital
using/testing/prototyping the models in the draft being circulated

but a grant  to help us set ups shop would be good

any social capital investors  on this list interested in chipping in,
also as advisors
please ping :-)

(anyone else from this list is in Ladakh this month, lets connect :-)
