\nMrinal Sinha, COO of Mobikwik, told ET that this would help in promoting savings behaviour among people. \"Once the money is digitised, then Samagra would potentially look at providing other services on top of this, like mobile recharge, bill payments and access through products and services through ecommerce,\" said Sinha.
\n
\nAt present, people who want to save through Samagra hand over their money to the NGO’s representative who visits them. Under the new system, the money will continue to be handed over to a Samagra representative, but would then reflect in the persons Mobikwik wallet, or micro gullak (piggybank), as it is being called.
\n
\nSamagra runs a community toilet programme. The ladies in charge of managing these toilets will act as agents and help people in opening Mobikwik accounts, said Swapnil Chaturvedi, CEO of Samagra.
\n
\n\"We had our own wallet for the last two years, but needed to reach out to more people. Many of these people are daily labourers and they leave for work — and return — outside of a bank's working hours. This way, they can save money with us which they can use to access various services through Mobikwik.\"
\n
\nThe company is currently running a pilot in Pune with 15,000 users and intends to reach out to 50,000 micro-savers by the end of the year. Deposits can range from Rs 2 to Rs 200 a day. \"The bottom of the pyramid needs to be served differently, and we can’t turn down deposits saying the amount is too small. We are not looking at this as a billion-dollar business opportunity, but a way to serve the people,\" said Sinha.
\n
\nMost of the people living in urban slums end up keeping their savings at home or with a self-help group. It is estimated that there are over 100 million people living in urban slums in India, many of whom have no access to banking facilities.
\n
\nChaturvedi said most women in this segment tend to save money in a hole in the ground or in a jar, and often end up forgetting where they had stored it. While this is the first such initiative for Mobikwik, Sinha said they are keen on partnering with other NGOs to provide similar services.\n\n<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":53836951,"title":"Pokemon Go's popularity decreasing in the US: Reports","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/pokemon-gos-popularity-decreasing-in-the-us-reports\/53836951","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[],"msid":53837002,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Mobikwik to provide mobile wallets to slum dwellers with NGO Samagra","synopsis":"Under the new system, the money will continue to be handed over to a Samagra representative, but would then reflect in the application user's Mobikwik wallet.","titleseo":"telecomnews\/mobikwik-to-provide-mobile-wallets-to-slum-dwellers-with-ngo-samagra","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[{"author_name":"Priyanka Sangani","author_link":"\/author\/479183113\/priyanka-sangani","author_image":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/authorthumb\/479183113.cms?width=250&height=250&imgsize=35101","author_additional":{"thumbsize":true,"msid":479183113,"author_name":"Priyanka Sangani","author_seo_name":"priyanka-sangani","designation":"Assistant Editor","agency":false}}],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"ET Bureau","artdate":"2016-08-24 08:26:49","lastupd":"2016-08-24 08:30:20","breadcrumbTags":["Samagra","NGO","Mobikwik","MVAS\/Apps"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"telecomnews\/mobikwik-to-provide-mobile-wallets-to-slum-dwellers-with-ngo-samagra"}}" data-authors="[" priyanka sangani"]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2016-08-24" data-index="article_1">
