Not sure if these are Akula's exact words but I got the message that: Grameen got the ball rolling and if it wasn't for them, Microfinance wouldn't be what it is today. But, companies like SKS are today's needed evolution of the Microfinance model in order to continue increasing the amount of credit available to poor people
Very interested to hear your views as there are definitely many points to counter my argument, and I believe that we actually need to constantly re-asses the direction of Microfinance in order for it to continue effectively alleviating poverty.
Best,
Pepe
