The Nexus of Purpose and Profit is where we’ll find the solution to our sustainability crisis. And the solution will come with a shift in how we think of and rationalize for-profit enterprises as purely business, and impact-driven for-benefit enterprises as purely charitable. This shift is what is going to catapult us into the “5th industrial revolution,” according to the person credited with the coinage of the term 5IR.
According to Pratik Gauri, the CEO, and co-founder of the first layer 1 sustainable blockchain, making sustainable development, and growth will take an entire paradigm shift from thinking of things with a “for-profit” mindset and redirecting all our efforts towards a “for-benefit” mindset.
This will include finding a technological solution, via blockchain, by building a green blockchain, and incorporating it in the entirety of human development from education, to e-governance, to how we perceive and develop a personal identity, and of course how we live in what is increasingly an urban setting (like Smart cities, and sustainable growth in urban centers).
Pratik Gauri, takes us through the evolution of blockchain technology, to its current state, its benefits and challenges, and how he proposes to build a green blockchain solution in line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the year 2030.
