Did you know that rice cultivation emits as much greenhouse gas as the global aviation industry?
And rice could be one of the prime reasons you are sweating profusely this summer!
Today's guest on the Konversation Cafe Podcast S02 is none other than Devdut Dalal, the co-founder of Mitti Labs.
He went to Harvard to study for an MBA but decided to come back to India (like a true Swades moment) and build an agrotech startup with the intention of making and contributing to sustainable changes in climate.
He speaks at length about his MBA journey: how Harvard shaped him, how he got in, and the valuable insights he picked up during his time there. These insights prompted him to not follow his father's business but to build something of his own. He explains the thought process and clarity behind each of his pivotal decisions, which we can all learn from.
He also talks about the emerging business landscape in India and the steps the government is taking to incentivize innovation and help upcoming entrepreneurs.
If you are highly ambitious, want to break free from the shackles, and want to take charge of your own story driven by purpose, then this podcast is just for you!
