Takeaways
The whole sustainability issue as I see it, obviously, I believe it’s not just about environmental sustainability. There is a social angle, there’s social impact, and an environmental impact. – Jaideep Prabhu
There are so many stories that need to be told from those places as well, particular sectors. we’ve been listening about how these oil companies such as Exxon, Shell with their shareholders and the board members being more activistic pushing their executive management teams to diversify into renewable energy. – Venkata Gandikota
As a business school, Professor, I tend to focus on the role of companies and there are, of course the large companies and also startups but I think a really good place to start is to look at the world’s largest companies because, in a sense, they’re the ones who account for most of the economic activity. – Jaideep Prabhu
