Reunion Theme: Sustainable Capitalism

​

As we enter the second decade of the 21st century, it is more important than ever to address the elephant in the house- climate change. The glaciers are melting, forests are burning, and innumerable species of the animal and plant kingdom are becoming extinct. As Greta Thunberg rightly pointed out “Our house is on fire” and we need to act on it. 

​

While capitalism is not the only culprit that has brought Pandora’s wrath upon us, it is certainly guilty of over-indulgence and negligence of the planet’s depleting resources. Today, humanity’s very existence in the very near future is at stake and we must do all we can to save the planet. Sustainability, therefore, needs to become a norm rather than an exception- and sustainability not only in the context of renewables and carbon emissions but also in the choices we make in our lives- from our shopping patterns to eating habits to technological advancements to human interactions to scaling enterprises to innovating business models. 

​

Therefore, for this year’s reunion in March 2020, we invite you to join together with your fellow alumni to think, discuss, and innovate a new age of Industry 4.0 with sustainability at its core. 

​

• Together, we can save this planet without compromising our current living standards. 

• Together, we can explore ideas to design solutions for environmental sustainability and apply our varied skillsets to create a better tomorrow for all. 

​

Together, we can!
