Editor's Notes
The innovation must result in a product or service of world-class quality. The innovation must achieve a significant price reduction — at least 90 percent off the cost of a comparable product or service in the West. The innovation must be scalable: It must be able to be produced, marketed, and used in many locales and circumstances. The innovation must be affordable at the bottom of the economic pyramid, reaching people with the lowest levels of income in any given society.
Drishtee earns its revenues from the upfront franchise fees it receives from the entrepreneurs. For hardware installation etc. It also earns Profit margins on the services it provides to the end consumer. Cost Model – The major costs are incurred in selection, and training of local entrepreneurs and web-based tools for BPO operations etc.
Drishtee includes the local unorganized retail stores in its franchisee model under Drishtee rural Retail Points. These franchisees help Drishtee to provide people with good quality products.
This initiative also provides the producers with market information on costs, trading etc. and capacity building and technical support to produce high quality products.

There are two types of skills required by the Drishtee team. One is the team which sits in the corporate office and does the managerial work. Another team is the field team. The general qualification required for the field team or franchisee partners are following:
Drishtee is primarily an Information Communication Technologies (ICT) Company. Traditionally the Rural Consumers are connected to the market through the Middlemen, As each middle man is different the information available to the rural masses is not guaranteed of consistency or always of high quality, chances of distortion of information, corruption etc are high, to sum it up the present system does not offer the most efficient services to the consumers.
Drishtee does a comprehensive location/village survey, i.e. the village where a kiosk is to be set up is choosen, then it conducts a launch program at Panchayat/Group meetings. It selects the owner of the kiosk from a number of applicants.
The system is basically connected to drishtee’s Intranet.
