If you could have any super power what would it be? Chances are that 'visibility' wouldn't be your first choice - but as Shivani Siroya points out, financial visibility can be one of the most important and empowering super powers of all.

Shivani Siroya is a TED Fellow and the founder and CEO of InVenture, a mobile technology and data science company that expands the traditional credit scoring system by putting power into the hands of consumers via their mobile phone. Currently, she is working to launch and test a new application that instantly scores applicants and delivers real-time credit to individuals who lack access to formal financial services.
