I want to include a few links from my other blog to serve as examples of what is possible in India, but we can do this at Stanford or with partners and act as catalysts to innovation and entrepreneurship, bottom up and inclusive capitalism.

Social business and CSR should be mainstream business and not separated from the P&L and Balance Sheet, for that reflects the state of the business. This is one example. Democratizing investing.
