In the past couple of months, there’s been a lot of activity in the world of video. In case you’ve missed the action on our YouTube channel, here are some highlights:
In this video, current Acumen Fund Fellow, Karthik Janakiraman, takes just two minutes to explain drip irrigation – an amazing solution that can dramatically increase the yields and incomes of farmers. In the process, Karthik draws a connection between drip irrigation and popsicles. Who doesn’t love popsicles?
Produced by our friends at GOOD, this video features Acumen Fund investee 1298 – a private ambulance service that provides high quality emergency medical service to the people of Mumbai. They use an innovative sliding scale pricing model to provide affordable service to all – rich or poor. [BONUS: this video comes complete with a killer Bhangra soundtrack!]
In the final feature of this update, Acumen Fund Fellow, Joanna Harries, records a short two-minute interview of three 1298 ambulance crew members who responded to the December terrorist attacks at the Taj Hotel in Mumbai. These are powerful stories of bravery and accountability in the face of fear, including one man whose first time on the job was the night of the attacks.
