Innovative Finance Insights from India Report Decodes Key Trends, Opportunities and Challenges for Innovative Financing
New Delhi, September 28, 2023: The Indian School of Development Management (ISDM), a leading organisation focussed on mainstreaming the domain of development management, launched its report titled “Bridging Perspectives: Innovative Finance Insights from India.” The report has been meticulously curated by ISDM’s Centre for Innovative Finance and Social Impact (CIFSI) and was presented at the Dialogues on Development Management (DoDM) convening, India’s pioneering conference on Management for Social Change.
Innovative financing has emerged as a critical tool for mobilising finance, driving societal change, and achieving sustainable development goals. In this regard, the report, based on extensive research and analysis, delivers valuable insights and a roadmap for future endeavours in the domain.
“This report is part of our ongoing knowledge creation efforts to establish and strengthen Development Management and its allied domains and throws light on innovative finance instruments implemented in India while simultaneously mapping trends in the innovative finance landscape. The present time is ripe for the civil society space to make bold strides in accessing and optimising innovative financing and frameworks to amplify social impact and its metrics. This report and the discussions that we have facilitated with partners and stakeholders today and will carry forward, are vital towards integrating social finance as a complement to government and philanthropic spending, to provide the catalytic capital required to bridge the SDG gap in India and globally,” said Ravi Sreedharan, Co-Founder and President, ISDM.
India is facing a significant funding deficit of $94 billion to achieve the SDG goals in 2022, which is further expected to increase to $152 billion by 2027. This indicates that philanthropy and public funding alone cannot drive the financing of SDGs. This creates the need to explore innovative and alternative financing models and instruments to finance the social sector, with focus on chaneling funds from the private sector to the social sector, and create social impact.

Winni has sold Rs 75 Cr worth of chocolates in the last 5 years which the sale from tier 2, and tier 3 has accounted for a total of 55% (40% from tier 2 & 15% from tier 3) which has surprisingly surpassed the tier 1 cities (40%). Although the chocolate market in India has been growing at a 8-9% YoY rate, Winni has experienced 100% growth in chocolate sales in the last 3 years on its online platform and also at the retail stores.
Winni is going to offer a premium range of healthier chocolate alternatives by replacing artificial preservatives with natural and organic ones; enhancing the flavours by merging them with spices, fruits, dry fruits, and sweets in Western taste. Winni Chocolates’ premium range will be exclusively available through Winni.in and in over 300+ brand retail outlets in 23 states and 5 UTs.

It’s pretty evident that cakes & and chocolates are replacing the traditional ‘Mithai’ (sweets) even in small cities during festivals and the rate of growth in demand is higher than in metros. That’s the reason we have decided to launch a premium range of chocolates that are still not available in tier-2 & and tier-3 cities despite the demand & and purchasing capacity.
He added, “Currently we sell chocolates worth 2.5 Cr every month via our online platform, our network of 300+ retail outlets across the country and other e-retailers, which is 10-12% of our total sale. We are expecting to see reasonable growth in these numbers with the introduction of the new premium range of chocolates which are developed keeping various factors in mind such as the nutrition value, health first approach & the authentic taste. We are coming up with an extended product range where our consumers will have healthy snacking choices such as Protein bars, Yoga bars, seeds and dry fruits coated range of chocolates & and multiple variants of Sugar-Free chocolates.’’

Easterseals Announces Expansion of Early Intervention and Educational Programming in Hillsborough County
Tampa, FL (September 27, 2023) – Finding services to support children with developmental challenges can be frustrating for caregivers. In response to this pressing need, Easterseals is pleased to announce the expansion of its programs in Hillsborough County. The nonprofit, which is dedicated to creating equity, inclusion, and access for people with disabilities, is now enrolling families in its The Incredible Years® program and is introducing a new private school, the Easterseals School for Limitless Learning, coming to the Bloomingdale area in mid-2024.
THE INCREDIBLE YEARS WITH EASTERSEALS
Enrollment is open for The Incredible Years® with Easterseals, a free group therapy program for caregivers and children ages three to eight years old, with the next session beginning on October 6, 2023, at the Brandon Children’s Board Family Resource Center. Interested families can register online at https://tinyurl.com/incredible years hills borough, and future locations will be added based on demand.
Amanda Lopez, Program Manager for The Incredible Years® with Easterseals, said, “This evidence-based group therapy program is a blessing to our community. The curriculum provided by Incredible Years has been life-changing to the families we have already served in our first few cohorts. Children are able to learn about their emotions and make friends in their small groups, and the caregivers are able to build strategies to strengthen their parenting skills and the bond they have with their child. We are seeing happier families, increased confidence in the caregivers served, and children with healthier coping skills.”
Generously funded by The Children’s Board of Hillsborough County, The Incredible Years® with Easterseals program is designed to strengthen child well-being, promote social-emotional learning and academic competence, and prevent, reduce, and treat behavioral and emotional problems in young children.
Families enroll in a 14-week session that meets once a week. In the caregiver-focused group, participants work on strengthening parent-child relationships, increasing parenting strategies, and building community support. Held simultaneously, the child group concentrates on teaching self-control skills, problem-solving strategies, and ways for participants to positively express emotions. The Incredible Years® program also includes a home education component.
Interested families are encouraged to email IncredibleYears@fl.easterseals.com or call 813-836-4739 with any questions.
As more and more families register for The Incredible Years® program, Easterseals is working to open more locations throughout Hillsborough County. Easterseals is also actively recruiting for a Bilingual Family Support Specialist.
In addition to programs like The Incredible Years®, Easterseals is bringing even more early intervention and educational services to the local community.
EASTERSEALS SCHOOL FOR LIMITLESS LEARNING
Easterseals is thrilled to introduce the School for Limitless Learning, a brand-new private school that will serve children who are neurodiverse or have other related disabilities, coming to the Bloomingdale area in mid-2024. The campus, which is currently under construction, will be located at the BayCare Health Hub at 2470 Bloomingdale Avenue in Valrico.
Easterseals School for Limitless Learning will include two specialized programs, a lower elementary program and an early childhood program. The goal of the private school is to provide an inclusive and supportive learning environment, designed to help special needs students reach developmental milestones through hands-on activities.
Jenn Siffermann, Vice President of Programs, said, “Parents and caregivers of children who have autism, or any other type of developmental or learning challenges, are too often told what their child’s limitations are. At Easterseals, we focus on supporting a child’s ability to reach their full potential with limitless learning opportunities.”
The curriculum at the Easterseals School for Limitless Learning will be based on the DIRFloortime® model, which is widely regarded as an effective approach to support children with autism. The objective of the DIR® is to build healthy foundations for social, emotional, and intellectual capacities, rather than solely focusing on skills and isolated behaviors. Teachers in both school programs will be trained in DIRFloortime®.
Operating on a 10-month school year, the lower elementary program in the Easterseals School for Limitless Learning will serve children who are neurodiverse or have other related disabilities in the age range of preschool to second grade. Small class sizes will ensure personalized attention, and the connection, play-based curriculum, led by state-certified teachers, will keep students engaged.
The Easterseals School for Limitless Learning’s early childhood program will operate year-round and will provide classrooms for children with and without diagnosed disabilities, who are six weeks of age through three years old. In addition to DIRFloortime®, this program will utilize the Frog Street Curriculum to foster cognitive, physical, social, and emotional development.
The Easterseals School for Limitless Learning will also offer nutritionally balanced meals and snacks, before and after-school care, care during school breaks, and summer programs. The private school will feature a state-of-the-art indoor sensory room, an outdoor boundless playground, and a secure campus.
Registration for the school’s first summer enrichment program for preschool to second grade is planned for spring 2024, along with the opening of enrollment for the child development program.
The lower elementary program is slated to open next fall for the 2024-2025 school year, with enrollment dates to be announced.
