Reflections on Social Business !

Few points to ponder from last week’s session by Mr.Harish Hande , MD,SELCO.

·        If a non-English speaker can become the CEO in China / Japan, why an Non-English speaker in India can’t become the CEO of an Indian MNC.
·        If you don’t ensure social sustainability, it would be five times more expensive than the financial sustainability five years down the lane.
·        Doing a Socially Responsible Business is all about how far you can connect the different economic strata of the society in the value chain process.
·        Is it only the metro people who can teach a rural government school kid ? Isn’t it possible the other way round ?
·        Social Investments to create equity is the main rationale behind CSR and its not a philanthropy
·        It’s all about increasing the buying power and not about offering discounts !
