President at The Rockefeller Foundation

This week, during a trip full of thought-provoking, inspiring conversations, I was struck by the incredible progress India has made in unlocking innovations to lift up its people. I had the chance to meet with the Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Dr. Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, and G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant to discuss India's leadership in renewable energy, the country's G20 India presidency, and the need to mobilize more development and climate financing. I also spoke at an event hosted by the International Solar Alliance about accelerating the deployment of renewable energy technologies. India can serve as a model for other countries on how to increase access to renewable electrification and other innovations. I'm looking forward to strengthening The Rockefeller Foundation's long-standing relationship with the country as we make #BigBets to scale technologies that can spur inclusive economic growth for people across India and around the world. #ClimateChange #GlobalEconomicRecovery #India #RenewableEnergy

    Vice President @ The Rockefeller Foundation | Climate Action | Philanthropic Leadership | Asia

    A strong civil society creates #transparency, #accountability and identifies opportunities to fix systemic problems and calls for much-needed social reforms. With global events unfolding, it is critically important for all to support and preserve a robust #civil #society. The Rockefeller Foundation is now accepting applications for Bellagio Center convenings. This year, the Asia Regional Office has helped curate the theme for a potential convening: Revitalizing Civil Society in the Asia Region. Convenings at the Bellagio Center have a storied #history of bringing together leaders from around the world to advance ideas and catalyze new action to drive positive and far-reaching #social #change. The Bellagio Center has launched the Global Alliance for Vaccine Initiatives (GAVI), the Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), and the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN), among many other transformative initiatives. We are excited to see what the applicants tackle this time around. Deadline to apply is July 6th and do reach out to Abhinav Verma or Shubhi Vijay for any further clarifications/additional information.
