A Designer & Social Innovator's Guide to Regenerative Venture Building: Systems, Spirit & Risk with Neelam Chhiber | EP19

from The ADDA · host Deep & Meaningful Consultancy

What comes first, the regenerative venture or the systems change? Is it about the modality to venture design, funding and execution that makes the difference? Or does it actually come down to how well an entrepreneur knows themself?In this episode, Deepa talks to multi-award winning entrepreneur Neelam Chhiber, founder of Industree Foundation. They explore whether designers have the secret sauce to being regenerative and systems changing entrepreneurs, the complexities of capitalisation and finance in achieving scale and what kind of relationships it takes; with risk, with collaborators and with one’s self to stand the course of time. They also get into the personal and talk about values, humility and spirituality and how these influence and shape not just what is done but how it’s done too. Neelam is a power house in the social venture world and this conversation is a masterclass in thinking about systems change with both disruptor and pragmatist lenses at play. Do share it and better yet, start your own ADDA to talk about it! For further information: Industree Foundation: https://www.industree.org.in/Creative Dignity: https://www.creativedignity.org/Catalyst Now: https://catalystnow.net/The ADDA is brought to you by The Deep & Meaningful Consultancy.Host: Deepa MirchandaniMusic: Unreasonable World by Bernard Schimpelsberger (http://www.bernhard.co.at/)To find out more about the Deep & Meaningful Consultancy, to sign up for our monthly newsletter and also check out our Group ADDA sessions, please check out https://www.deepandmeaningful.co.
