Singh started off working in New Zealand where his interest in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) was sparked, along with the concept of crowdlending which is when individuals lend small amounts of money to companies in exchange for a financial return that is specified in a loan agreement.
Singh reports that the article is meant to convey the message that “female entrepreneurs should not be discouraged by any bias they experience in traditional financing environment” and that “our support for crowdlending platforms helps entrepreneurs, especially those that are disadvantaged, in acquiring funding for their businesses."
A post on IDEAS, the largest bibliographic database dedicated to economics, featured the work of Singh and his co-authors Trina A. Sego and Shikhar Sarin from Boise State University.
