"Bandhan clearly fits this group -- their growth to date, loan
methodology, board of directors and operating systems are all world -class. In
fact, during the months we were discussing the partnership, they increased
their access to an additional 20,000 poor individuals!"
Bandhan operates in West Bengal, one of India's poorest states, using an
individual lending methodology that differs from the group lending methodology
used in most of India. The
microfinance field's challenge is to scale this high-potential industry to
fill the enormous supply shortfall. In doing so, Unitus aims to demonstrate that MFIs can
be run as profitable, large-scale, poverty-focused businesses with links to
local capital markets.

"As information technology becomes further entwined with how we
communicate and work, the amount of data we need to process and protect
continues to grow exponentially," said Charlene Murphy, vice president,
marketing for Quantum's Storage Devices Business Unit.
