The world’s social and environmental challenges, accentuated by growing inequalities, climate change, migrant crisis and now the corona pandemic, have triggered increasing protests over the last decade, from Occupy Wall Street to Extinction Rebellion. Impact Economies are a solution to these challenges and will achieve the UN’s sustainable development goals. An impact economy embeds “impact” as a deliberate criteria, alongside risk & return, in making business, investment, policy and consumption decisions. Impact is the measure of an action’s benefit to the people or planet; pursuing it has brought enterprises’ purpose to the forefront.

Evolutionary and revolutionary global forces are making an Impact Economy imminent. As in the Tech Movement, the Impact Movement too needs significant thought leadership to inform Education and Training. Just like the Chief Technology Officer led the Tech Movement for corporations;, the Chief Impact Officer, a new organizational Sherpa, will lead the corporate Impact Revolution. Aspire provides the necessary support to usher India into the Impact Economy: research & analysis, education & training, consulting & assessments, support & access to capital.
