There's a really interesting model called PowerMundo, that I wrote about in NextBillion.net a few months ago. I saw them again last week and they're really up to something and filling a very interesting void in the BoP space. Here's a link to the post: http://www.nextbillion.net/blog/2009/01/07/powermundo-bridging-the-supply-chain-gap-at-the-base-of-the-pyra

Hope everything is well in Pakistan and look forward to meeting you at some point once you're back!

Also check out the BOP Protocol and the BOP Learning Lab. Other companies, like Unilever, are catering to the BOP without being "social businesses," so you may want to factor that into your assessment. Let me know if I can help in any other way.

Best,
Jenara

You must know Jocelyn Wyatt of IDEO, as you both went to Thunderbird and have affiliations with the Acumen Fund. I'm also affiliated with AF as a writer for NextBillion.net

I'd love to hear more about your work in South Asia!
