[Pavilion #3]
Business Model Innovations for doing business in the Bottom Of the Pyramid in India: Approaches and Unexplored Frontiers
Almost all business organizations pursue sustainability. In this pursuit businesses have begin to realize that contribution to the environment that they operate in creates a positive environment for them. Understanding of the local landscapes becomes an integral part of the planning process. The rise of the emerging economies like India has forced businesses to rethink their strategy. Instead of top-down, development, more discussions now focus on providing goods and services profitably to the base of the economic pyramid (BOP) which affected a majority of the population. The talk will focus on transformations that need to be undertaken by traditional businesses to cater to this audience in India. This talk will also discuss some innovations and also touch areas that remain unexplored.
For questions, please contact Nikhil Varma (nvarma@ramapo.edu).

Isra and Mi'raj
2019-03-13
The Isra and Mi’raj (Arabic: الإسراء والمعراج‎, al-’Isrā’ wal-Mi‘rāj) are the two parts of a Night Journey that, according to Islam, Muhammad took during a single night around the year 621 CE. It has been described as both a physical and spiritual journey. A brief sketch of the story is in surah al-Isra of the Quran, and other details come from the hadith, which are collections of the reports, teachings, deeds and sayings of Muhammad. In the Isra’, Muhammad traveled on the steed Buraq to “the farthest mosque”. Traditionally, later Muslims identified the mosque as a location in the physical world, the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. At the mosque, Muhammad led other prophets in prayer. He then ascended to the heavens in the Mi‘raj. The remembrance of this journey is one of the most significant events in the Islamic calendar.
