Yet most rivers are polluted, and despite many efforts to clean up, there has been limited success. Recent news about the Yamuna cleaning itself using its own biological capacity also highlights the effect of human activity on the environment. https://lnkd.in/gJ3mJTc During the #lockdown , there have been many instances of positive impact on nature and wildlife.

My friend Mark Cuban on the Dallas Mavericks #MeToo scandal: "Treating people equally doesn't mean treating them the same"

There is no right time to be an #entrepreneur .

Give your best, perseverance pays. Be bold to achieve your dreams. …see more

A tribute to the epic Karl Lagerfeld who passed away yesterday. More than fashion, I believe he really understood branding. He revived Fendi in the 60’s and Chanel in the 80’s, and his best work was his own eponymous line which I was lucky enough to wear on camera and off. I’ll share my thoughts soon on what we can all learn from his life and work. #karllagerfeld #fashionicon #brandinggenius …see more
