Above is a short film my teammate Karl Oscar Teien put together of some of the key stages we went through in our pilot of the Pulse Active Food Savings concept in the slums of Ahmedabad, India this summer.  Here you will see us as we developed the prototypes, brought them back to users for feedback, and went on to launch a mini-pilot.

I’m back in Canada now and on the hunt for new projects, but tonight I’m heading down to New York City to reunite with the team and support them in their bid to win the $1 million Hult Prize to launch Pulse on a larger scale. The event will be opening the Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting and the winner will be chosen heads of Kiva, the WHO, Standard Chartered Bank the World Food Program, Solar Aid and the father of modern microfinance, Professor Muhammad Yunus.
