This benefits companies through building new markets and strengthening supply chains, while also generating income and improving lives for people at the bottom of the pyramid. The document discusses types of inclusive business models involving the poor as suppliers, consumers, or entrepreneurs. It also outlines steps to identify opportunities, develop business models, implement them, and analyze their impact on achieving both economic and human development through inclusive markets.
