From Streets to Startups

The Good Sight Podcast

In this episode of The Good Sight Podcast, we explore the powerful philosophy of "Don't Donate, Invest" with Chandra Mishra, the founder of Beggars Corporation.

Guided by the principle of transforming dependency into self-sufficiency, Beggars Corporation is redefining poverty alleviation in India. Instead of traditional charity, they empower beggars by helping them become entrepreneurs, offering sustainable ways out of poverty.

Through this conversation, we attempt exploring the transformative journey from "Daanjeevi" (dependent on charity) to "Karmajeevi" (self-reliant) and learn how purpose-driven profit is fueling the organization’s impact.

Discussion Highlights:

• What inspired Chandra Mishra to create Beggars Corporation
• Transition stories of beggars turned entrepreneurs
• How "Profit with Purpose" supports Beggars Corporation's sustainability
• Challenges in shifting the perception of beggars and overcoming societal stigma
• Chandra Mishra's vision for the future of Beggars Corporation
