Welcome to the third iteration of the Interledger Salon, hosted by Smriti Parsheera, Research Ambassador at the Interledger Foundation. This session features a discussion on financial inclusion with James Ogada from the Busara Center in Kenya and Dr. Susan Thomas from the XKDR Forum in India.

Participants discuss innovative, locally tailored approaches to financial services, emphasizing the importance of behavioral insights and robust consumer protection frameworks.
The conversation highlights the value of interdisciplinary collaboration and the need for innovative, context-specific solutions to boost financial inclusion across diverse regions in the Global South.
