One of the questions I am often asked when I tell people that I work with companies on their CSR strategy and implementation is, “Do these companies really care about impact?”. At Sattva, the organisation I lead, our employees ask the same question about every customer we engage with, and every person we hire: “Are they truly committed to social impact?”.

After spending the last decade in the social impact sector, I have come to realise that sustaining a sense of urgency is a necessity especially when societies are evolving (or becoming ‘Liquid’ as Farid Tabrki said at EVPA 2019) and the lines between social and corporate continue to blur.
I completed one year at Sattva Consulting recently on Jan 2nd. With the New Year kicking in and the mind slipping into its usual year-end reflections, like everybody else I asked myself what was my 2019 all about? Well, it was about changing the world one PPT at a time.
I have to admit, I was a little taken aback. It was my first month at Sattva. Krishna (our CEO) had asked me to meet every single person at Sattva so that I could understand the organisation and the culture better.
While realism can help you stay afloat, optimism can push you to move forward.
