The second in an 8-episode series on social entrepreneurs on BBC Worlds News is now available online.  For those of you who get BBC World News, it will be broadcast four times over the next week.  Called Alvin’s Guide to Good Business, the series is led by financial expert Alvin Hall, who brings his experience of 25 years on Wall Street to bear in looking at eight social entrepreneurial organizations working around the globe.

In this episode, Alvin travels to India, where farmers struggle to grow their crops during the long dry months. IDEI tries to help by making affordable irrigation products that feed plants a drop of water at a time. But can farmers really make enough money to pay for them? And can IDEI’s inspirational boss, Amitabha Sadangi, accept Alvin’s challenge to groom a successor? 

Watch the episode in full below.
