About this Event
The world's most populous country is a key driver in global sustainability. As India's various industries continue to mature, they will add to global GDP and raise millions from poverty - however, they may also increase pollution, wealth disparity, and other challenges. Impact entrepreneurs have a ripe opportunity to address social and environmental issues across India over the coming years. The GSLI is proud to support student entrepreneurs through the second annual Parekh Impact Prize, a $10,000 seed grant that will be awarded to a venture that has a social and/or environmental impact in India. This is funded by the co-founder of Sony Entertainment Television, Jayesh Parekh. An info session for impact entreprneurs working on issues in India will take place on 11/19 from 12:00 - 1 p.m. in the GSLI office with lunch available. Jay Parekh will attend.
