@vfsglobalcare @VFSGlobal Thanks. I have just followed up in the direct message - awaiting resolution 🙏

[Akshay Sriprasad @AkshayMuses]

I’m proud that our efforts have catalyzed action across the tech ecosystem, while empowering consumers and customers to take sustainability action of their own. I look forward to applying the lessons learned and instincts developed to a new and exciting impact opportunity!

*Career Update & Call to Action*

I’m excited to share that this past November, after 8 years with @Google , I joined the leadership team at @Capital4Climate, where I'll be focused on mobilizing institutional investment into Nature-Based Solutions to climate change (NbS).

[Akshay Sriprasad @AkshayMuses]

Finally, I want to express deep gratitude to my former colleagues & leadership across @Google / @googleearth 's sustainability product ecosystem for setting, investing in, and delivering against an ambitious climate agenda.

Sitting in our @Google offices in NYC, whilst designing for the global south, I believe this made all the difference.

Inspired for this work to progress and make contact.

Few moments on the job are as stimulating as a good ole' fashioned design sprint 🤓

This weekend, we conducted one with the @UN  Climate Champions, focused on building resilience in informal settlements.

[Akshay Sriprasad @AkshayMuses]

At the start, we were joined (virtually) by 20+ community leaders - real users - whose accounts grounded our intentions and gave the team an inspiring north star to collaborate towards.

If you’re government-affiliated and you’d like to get full access to your city’s data, sign up for EIE’s Insights Workspace.

[Akshay Sriprasad @AkshayMuses]

Last week, we released our 2022 transportation insights, available to 38,700 global cities; some interesting findings(in 🧵)

[Akshay Sriprasad @AkshayMuses]

Yet, I'm inspired by the smart policy/planning undertaken (e.g. low emission zones!) by many of our partner cities, supporting low carbon transport and healthy, interconnected urban living (and tracking progress through EIE!)

You need to be Friedberg maxxing

You need to be launching hard-tech startups so revolutionary they're literally named after the miracles of Jesus

You need to be ignoring political arguments and giving common-sense pragmatic takes when pushed

You need to be selling your startup to the most hated but arguably influential megacorp on earth to maximize impact and distribution

You need to be relentlessly pushing science corner down your friend group's throats while they make Uranus jokes

You need to be using your screen real estate on the biggest media property of its category to shill obscure scifi films

You need to be clambering past the line between funny and insulting when call on to roast your buddies
