The Nine Pillars - a birds eye view of the Equlaise 360 Framework Architecture

This 5 Part Framework Explainer Series aims to introduce leaders and decision makers to the Equalise 360 Framework Architecture and the use cases, for the context they operate in.

India's Care Financing Deficit
Caring Futures
Part 2 of the Series - Invisible Infrastructure Underwriting India’s Economic Development looks at why India’s Care Financing Deficit is not just a policy oversight, it’s a structural risk. As public investment stagnates and private care costs soar, the burden falls unfairly on unpaid and underpaid labour. This article exposes the cracks in care financing and why investing in the care economy is essential for equity, productivity, and growth.

Zouri Themes
Using evidence-based frameworks and diagnostics that accelerate system-level change
1
GEDSCI
No, we did not spell it wrong. Equitable workplaces, marketplaces & economies cannot be shaped without Gender Equality, Disability, Social & Care Inclusion. Equity and inclusion don't happen by chance, they are shaped decision by decision, specially by leaders, not fixed on solving current challenges with historic solutions and assumptions
2
Climate Resilience
Climate risk is reshaping labour markets, budgets, infrastructure, and stability of households. Yet climate resilience is treated as a humanitarian concern instead of an economic imperative. It is a structural failure in how we understand risk, price vulnerability, budget for uncertainty, & design public systems. It is time we measure it. Finance it. Build for it.
3
State of Care
For years, we’ve spoken about care through the lens of gender disparity or data gaps. But this isn’t only about gender. It’s a structural failure in how we define value, measure growth, allocate resources, and design our economic systems. Care is not the economy’s afterthought. It is it's foundation. It is time we count it. Fund it. Plan for it.
