Episode 26

Think globally, act locally, with Arjun SriHari - Part 2

This is the second part of my conversation with Arjun SriHari.

In this second part he goes into more details about his ideas for what he wants to do next.and we also spend quite some time around his vision for the future and how he thinks we can all have a much bigger impact on how our society evolves.

Arjun is a big advocate for bursting the bubbles and coming together, across the many barriers and divides existing today. He started his career with a strategic communications consultancy - and clear and effective communication is something he values highly.

He has spent 5 years building a rooftop solar company in India with the clear goal of helping speed up the transition to renewable energy in his home country. In this episode he shares the ups and downs of that journey as well as the reason for moving on and stepping away from the company. 
He recently finished his MBA in Madrid, Spain, and now he is on the hunt for his next adventure in the Sustainability/Climate Action/Climate Tech space.

Veslemøy Klavenes-Berge

Geophysicist by formal education, with a background within mobile satellite communication and the oil and gas industry. I did a 180 degree pivot in my career in 2016 and have since then focused all my energy and time to explore how we can have the optimal combination of the three pillars;
a good life - an interesting job - a healthy planet.
I have a strong sense of urgency when it comes to the huge challenges we are facing in the years to come, especially when it comes to climate change, but I strongly believe in the potential in people to step up and do the work when it is really needed.
That time is now.
