British poster for #WomensDay in 1974. Almost 45 years and this poster still holds true. Yes, there has been significant progress since then but a lot yet has to be done.

In this week’s episode of #EarthUnscrewed you’ll hear from Envision Virgin Racing as they work to prove that EVs can be just as sleek and powerful as their gas-guzzling counterparts:

No category has completely missed the potential of Instagram more than Airlines. I had a great idea ( cheap to do) that I was totally unable to get any Airline to listen to. If you can help me bring it to life with an airline, let me know. It's free of charge. I just want it to happen. You don't even need to credit me. A deck is waiting.

‪Some casual empiricism from our evening walk in town: There is a definitely an increase in the number of people wearing masks — from the estimated 10-25% in prior weeks to around 40%. Now we need to quickly get as close to 100% as possible. #Covid_19 #covid #WearAMask #Masks ‬ …see more

Royal Enfield has immense customer love in #India . Remember the movie Sholay with Amitabh and Dharmendra on a Royal Enfield? But in 2000, the company went through a crisis period where sales dwindled to 1/3 of production capacity as they faced issues ranging from oil leakages to engine failures. The company achieved a remarkable turnaround by following these 3 key principles: 1. Get the basics right: Listen to customers, test the product and #design the bikes for superior performance 2. Hire for passion: Enfield hired both locally and globally to assemble a diverse team of new leaders who were not only experienced but also were passionate about preserving the brand name 3. Unconventional marketing: Instead of spending on TV #advertisingandmarketing , Enfield devoted capital to creating fan-clubs & organising product-experience trips to long-distance destinations Watch this episode of the #KalaariPodcast here: …see more

Can’t describe my excitement right now!! Our SoGal Ventures seed stage investment in March 2017 is now a $1.3 Billion dollar unicorn 🦄 !!! BlackRock and many amazing new investors including women focused Portfolia joined this $175M Series D round. We are incredibly fortunate to be supporters of Julia Cheek and the diverse Everlywell team!! They’ve been surpassing expectations every month, every quarter, and every year. They showed amazing leadership this year during Covid and pioneered at home Covid tests despite being a 90-person startup. As a solo founder, Julia not only led the company to be successful beyond metrics, but also created an inclusive space for her team to grow, scale, and thrive. 3 years ago when we started the fund, barely anyone believed Elizabeth Galbut and I could be VCs, or that focusing on investing in women makes any sense. Yet here we are!! Standards are meant to be broken and broadened. I hope this story inspires you to break into anything you want to be in, and use your difference to make a real, big impact 👊🏼 #startup #venturecapital #investment #digitalhealth #entrepreneur …see more

When I'm asked to share how I think about the future of A.I. either by reporters or conference attendees, I always say that this is the simplest description I can come up with. "Artificial intelligence will not replace medical professionals. Yet, medical professionals who use A.I. will replace those that don’t. And the term "medical professionals" might be replaced with any specialty that uses data and/or has repetitive components. What is your general rule when it comes to A.I in healthcare? #healthcare #ai #digitalhealth #artificialintelligence …see more

Adam Grant on why it’s time to teach kids about collaboration – here’s the third brilliant article in Big Change ’s insight series, shining a light on how education needs to change:

‪I dream of a world where every company is as keen on giving customer service as they are on measuring it. ‬

Be kind, show love, and be merry. Ho ho ho! #AdvertisingAndMarketing #Happiness #Kindness #MerryXmas

As a child I was taught to recite, "Guru Brahma, Guru Vishnu, Guru Devo Maheshwara; Guru Sakshat Param Brahma, Tasmai Shri Guravay Namah" entirely from memory. My whole life has been shaped by #teachers who have offered me #support when I was floundering and encouraged me through it all. A teacher is not someone you meet just through formal education. Many people serve the role of teachers in our journey at various moments. I wanted to take this day to reflect and be grateful for the many teachers who have come into my life. #TeachersDay …see more

It's fun to think of what other sectors could do the equivalent of Amazon Prime. I'd pay an airline alliance $3000 per year to be able to change flights with a few clicks and not have to make endless phone calls and wait for hours while the fare department calculates.

While passion & talent are widely acknowledged, resilience is often not talked about enough. #Winners don't do different things, they do things differently when the going gets tough. This is resilience. 'The oak fought the wind and was broken, the willow bent when it must and survived.' - Robert Jordan, The Fires of Heaven …see more

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is inevitable, and it is easy to be scared with the prospects of millions and billions of people being rendered jobless. It is a fundamental fact that Artificial Intelligence & Automation will take away human jobs. Yet it is also undisputed that it will bring substantial increase in productivity, efficiency, accuracy and safety in workplaces. I like the following quote from the article for the hope it offers, "the world will always need human brilliance, human ingenuity and human skills" I believe we need to collectively think, embrace and be prepared to create positive change instead of being despondant to the rapid social changes that are ahead. What should the government be doing to help this transformation. How should the education systems prepare future citizens? How can the Industry do more to promote employment and skills development proactively? These are questions we must dialog upon together, and now. I welcome your thoughts and comments. …see more

Our current experiences with #COVID19 can be likened to the famous parable of 'The Blind Men and the Elephant'. People around the world have had different subjective experiences with the virus and there is a lot that is still not known. Hence, we should refrain from claiming to know the absolute truth and making snap decisions based on limited information. …see more
