Srishti’s current research at SPJIMR addresses this imperative for context-spe
cific, scalable innovation. She is investigating the “Digital Social Innovation”
(DSI) model, exploring “how the last-mile farmer in India can adopt that.” Her
focus is on ensuring that “digital access is not just... a mere infrastructure,” but
genuinely “is being used by the last-mile farmer making informed decisions,”
thereby increasing “the livelihood of the farmers and the social community.”
This work exemplifies a way of translating high-level concepts into grassroots
empowerment.
Furthermore, her research deepens her understanding of the vital nexus be
tween “system, finance, and sustainability finance,” specifically examining “how
capital moves into climate innovation” and “impact verifications with business
valuations”. This analytical pursuit aims to bridge the financial mechanisms with
tangible environmental outcomes. Her passion for “public policy” is also root
ed in its direct link with “climate finance,” underscoring that policy frameworks
are elementary for channeling financial resources towards climate action and
scalable impact. These pursuits collectively represent a rigorous inquiry into the
mechanisms required to facilitate widespread, contextually feasible transfor
mation.
