A pleasure to do a podcast interview with Ms. Sharon Fernandes, an environmental activist and volunteer from Mumbai.
We discussed waste segregation, sustainability, and how we can drive meaningful environmental change.

@svembu This is how India once was. Rich in contentment and culture. Petrodollars, IT dollars opened the floodgates of too much money in some pockets causing imbalance in the social livestream. Wealth is good if invested sensibly -not for flashy shows. Hope better sense returns.
@svembu My thinking is to train the young graduates to look for business rather than placement opportunities. Most colleges boast about the placement of their students but rarely on how many they helped to startup. My foundation is trying to change this mindset albeit in a small way.
@ShefVaidya@asadowaisi@BJP4India Whatever be the affiliation, where is the character building in our schools? Today is Guru Purnima and I am grateful to my parents who were my first Gurus who taught me the value of character
@svembu Japan was the first country that I visited in 1970 and got trained in Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Kobe. 7 years later, I was doing business with Japan. In, 1982, Japan trained me in Corporate Management. Amazing people with admirable work culture
@svembu Rural areas hold great potential in India. Manjakudi is a perfect example! From a sleepy village to a bustling town with a BPO employing about 200 youngsters. I wrote about the ‘Miracle of Manjakudi’ in my blog https://t.co/GUDyDW5vOW
@svembu Brilliant move! Having been trained in Japan and launched Japanese language classes in Chennai in the 80s, I have a high appreciation of Japanese work culture. One of my Japanese friends is engaged in building microgrids ideally suited for rural areas.
