Drawing from his pioneering work in Bangladesh with Grameenphone and his current efforts at Money in Motion LLC, Quadir shares insights on the democratizing power of mobile and AI technologies. The conversation covers how mobile access transformed economic opportunity in Bangladesh, how AI can solve hyper-local problems in developing nations, and why reducing bureaucracy and improving capital allocation are critical to unlocking entrepreneurial growth in underserved regions.   Pull Up a Chair is produced by Association Briefings.
