The Power of Networks: How to Do It Right

Abstract

Naina Subberwal Batra, CEO and Chairwoman of Asia's largest social investment network, explores why and how a resilient ecosystem is crucial in this time of global fragmentation and increasing disparities. In Asia, particularly, it has never been more urgent to take collective action as we face the sobering prospect that the region is unlikely to meet any of the UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Bringing together people towards a common vision, however, takes more than just good chemistry; harnessing that convening power to create democratic solutions requires a blend of trust in the face of unfamiliarity, critical reflections amidst business-as-usual and innovation to move capital effectively towards impact.
