London

I am currently mobilising an initiative to develop a Design for Sustainability and Circularity Framework to strengthen industry’s capabilities for designing products, services, systems, and supply chains to be sustainable, by design. This includes drawing upon the knowledge and principles embedded in the Planetary Boundaries Framework and the Doughnut Economics Model. The initiative will make recommendation to the UK government, policymaker and pilot the design framework with industry.  I am a passionate advocate for sustainable development and believes that we can create a more sustainable future by designing products, services and supply chains that are more efficient and yet protective of the Earth’s critical natural and ecological systems. I am a strong believer in the power of technology to help us solve and address some of the world’s biggest challenges.

I grew up in India, moved to London for my Masters, worked there for a few years and am now based in Oxford.   I used to be a strong believer in the power of markets.

Looking forward to collaborating with this community and making a difference!

I see it as my mission to bring out the best in people. Everyone has talents that blossom in the right environment. I invite people to find the essence of who they are and what they do. You can decide for yourself how you experience and fill in your life. You can organize your life and work in such a way that you experience it as valuable. Everyone is responsible for their own life and there is always a choice. In my work I let people experience the power of their intuition and the intelligence of the heart.

Greeting from TAP. TAP is also a paradigm shifting, new model, initiative. But somewhat different than Doughnut Economics - TAP deals with all the systems required of any civilization model - where just one primary system is the economic system. TAP identifies one system that is more important than all other systems: the infocomm system. A system that in today's world, with present social media, has evolved into a world-destruction weapon. TAPable, is a new type of infocomm digital tech tool. NOT intended to fix or replace anything else in existence today. Instead to be an alternative option tool for establishing great improvement in 'important infocomm'. TAP defines 'important infocomm' as that which is used to establish understanding and belief. TAPable is the first tangible step toward the primary objective of establishing a new civilization model of balance and long-term sustainability - given the constraints and limitations of our biosphere.

Lubumbashi, Haut-Katanga, Democratic Republic of the Congo

Progressive educator, currently Consultant Principal of a start-up International school in Congo, looking to become more actively involved in seismic curriculum change to redesign education to bring it into line with the needs and values that graduates will have to hold to face the challenges of the 21st century. Inspired by radical/practical emergent philosophies such as doughnut and circular economics. Believe strongly that change is possible but the curriculum needs to be dismantled and rebuilt to include cognitive biases and heuristics, value-driven learning and real-world forward thinking content with approaches that encourage critical thinking and holistic big picture and socially minded emotional consciousness.
