What can a business do?
Like most of us who run, transact with or know businesses will say that a they can only make money! Not true any more !

I believe in this idea and want to learn more, after receiving an invite recently from the Creating Shared Value Forum,2012 (Organized by Nestle SA and FICCI) to be held in New Delhi, India on Nov 5th as a Key Online Opinion Leader, my focus is now to see what is actionable and write about it.

“Life begins at conception and ends at execution’
