Multiple innovations mark Jignesh Shah’s journey as an entrepreneur. Beginning from the creation of third largest exchange in the world to setting up projects involving corporate social responsibility, the man has left a mark with his vision for being ahead of the game.
Famous among his peers to often opt for unconventional choices, the man is one who may promote his laurels but would never rest on them. While most of us know his role in creating international exchanges, very few of us know about his initiatives in the social sector.
Gramin Suvidha Kendras is one such initiative between Multi Commodity Exchange and India Post. Spread over the four states of Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh, the project aims at providing information to the farmers on best practices in order to aid them in enhancing the value of their activity. Mr. Shah himself was at the forefront of the project launch that has made the marginal farmer empowered.
The programme has made farming economically sustainable by enabling informed decision making, helping farmers and generating market linkages thereby promoting inclusive growth and making farmers formidable stakeholders.
The initiative has earned FICCI Socio Economic Development Foundation Award of 2009, NASSCOM Social Innovations Honours of 2010 and the 5th BSE CSR awards. According to a study conducted by Tata Institute of Social Sciences on MCX and Gramin Suvidha Kendra, Financial Technology India Limited generated more than a million jobs in the commodities ecosystem both directly and indirectly through this initiative.
