We learned that understanding behavioral science in India requires different perspectives, represented by the five lenses below: 

• The Binoculars- They bring power dynamics into focus, emphasizing the influence of power in interactions and the challenges researchers face when imposing power in the research process. 

• The Microscope-  This examines the nuances of human behavior, highlighting the need to consider broader family dynamics and the influence of power on data analysis. 

• The Wide-angle lens– It looks at the ecosystem in which behavior change programs are implemented, questioning the effectiveness of interventions designed to empower women and redefining success. 

• The Bifocals– They enable a simultaneous understanding of near and distant issues, recognizing the variability in geography, social identities, and historical contexts in India. 

• The Reactions– These acknowledge the changing context and constraints faced by policymakers and practitioners in implementing behavioral interventions.
