About this Event

Are you passionate about making the "right" investments? Are the principles of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) important to you? Do you believe profitability and doing right can and should be tied together? In short, do you believe doing good can lead to doing well?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, come join us in our fireside chat, "Doing Good & Doing Well: The story of Geeta Aiyer" and hear first hand how Geeta started companies that stayed true to the principles of ESG, long before the term ESG was coined.
