About the Program :

The InSight team at GTPL is dedicated to creating a Presbyopia-free India, with a special focus on empowering rural communities. Over 300 million Indians suffer from uncorrected presbyopia (distorted near vision), and over 70 million work in occupations that require clear near vision. This condition leads to $14 billion in annual productivity losses in India alone, disproportionately impacting rural livelihoods. Yet, a simple solution—reading glasses—can boost productivity by 34% and income by 20%, as randomized controlled trials conducted in Assam and Bangladesh demonstrated.

Hence the InSight team, in this context, is embarking on a program to develop a market-driven model that empowers entrepreneurs to sell reading glasses to beneficiaries in need. The idea is that the InSight team, in collaboration with its partners, will train entrepreneurs in presbyopia screening and the dispensing of reading glasses. These entrepreneurs will then conduct door-to-door screenings within their designated areas, selling reading glasses to individuals who fail the vision test. This approach aims to establish a sustainable business model for the entrepreneurs while improving livelihoods by addressing presbyopia among the beneficiaries.

We are looking for a Operations Head to manage these entrepreneurs during their day to day work as well as collaborate with our on ground partners in successful implementation of the program.
