One of the key aim in life has now been to create a tangible difference in the society, leave a much progressive and prosperous world for the next generation. Which means what you plan, do and track on everyday level has to have a sizeable contribution towards the betterment of the world, if not immediately but over the long run.
I was quite inspired by the 17 SDG’s - goals build on the successes of the Millennium development goal, while including new areas such as climate change, economic inequality, innovation, sustainable consumption, peace and justice, among other priorities. The goals are interconnected – often the key to success on one will involve tackling issues more commonly associated with another . Solving some of the challenges mentioned here was one very good way to live the dream of creating a difference.
Here are areas where I contributed, the learning continues & today I seek your value addition in enhancing this mission further :-
- Driving EcoCare solutions. Participating in driving Growth of Cleantech or Clean energy based solutions & services in mobility domain. Cleaner fuel to cut down carbon load and create a sustainable planet while substantially reducing the fuel cost or operating cost. Eventually we get a Cleaner, greener,healthier and prosperous future. (SDG -7 &13) #Electric mobility being part of this. Usage of Electric water pumps saves lot being energy efficient machine & curbs air pollution. Let’s accelerate use of Clean energy- save the economy & environment.
- Supporting gainful employment through last mile mobility solutions. #Inclusion happens when millions of users as drivers of last mile vehicles, earn daily livelihood and support their families not just as #breadwinners but creating their own #growth stories. Helping these micro-entrepreneurs (SDG-1,8,10)means helping indirectly those dreamers in their families who aspire to become independent and prosper. Eventually more people earn, they prosper and their dependent communities as well in long run. Let’s support employment and help elevate people at the bottom-of-the pyramid.
- Preserving natural resources:-Working with #farmers, Agritech experts to improve farm yield while consuming less energy and resources to get farm produce is another interesting work area. With drip irrigation more water & fertiliser is saved and thus lesser draw from overall natural resource pool. Alleviation of marginal farmers who face acute shortage , lack of knowhow on new age practices, handholding them to adopt digital practice to sell and grow will ultimately enabled them to become self sufficient and permanently knock of hunger (SDG-1, 12 &13 )from the world. Plant more trees and support green landscaping within concrete cities to save us from rising temperatures. Create islands of freshness with green footprint to improve air quality. Let’s value and conserve natural resources, adopt smart technology to save water, soil and air.
- Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure: (SDG - 9,11 & 13) Creating massive support for last mile mobility industry through aftermarket retail network providing great assurance for uninterrupted run-&-earn operations is a task getting strengthened. Electric vehicles won’t get embraced & adopted till proper backup service & charging facility is available. Let’s bolster innovation and support last mile electric mobility
- Sustainable cities(SDG 11). Foster shared mobility practice through energy efficient rids sharing e-mobility solutions will help us build sustainable cities for individuals & #communities. Let’s support shared mobility and reduce excessive indulgence. Live in cities freely not get choked by traffic. Create more life spaces , activity spaces.
- Focus on diversity & reducing gender gap. Including more women as working members in normal sphere of work & life, more so from #underprivileged sections of society added in our teams and work focus areas. Elevating life standards through persistently working, enabling, engaging& empowering for better tomorrow. Enough evidence exists on positive impact of growth through proactive involvement. (SDG -5) . Let’s support diversity and genuinely do more social inclusion. Help people rise.
Thanks for your patient reading.Views expressed purely from personal point of view basis my work so far. Seek your suggestions to make this bigger & scalable across world. #SDG’s are achievable provided we see more intensely collaborated work across diverse sections of society. Every small contribution across multiple areas will count.It is now up to all of us, governments, businesses, civil society and the general public to create #sustainable solutions & work together to build a better #future for everyone.
Let’s begin!
