For innovating businesses and finance for good, towards sustainable development
Mayur Singh is a firm believer in sustainable development and spends much of his time thinking about how to build businesses that are driven by purpose, and towards inclusive growth. Mayur is what you’d call an impact-driven entrepreneur: someone who cares about sustainability, and who cares about infusing that into businesses all around the world. In fact, Mayur’s lived in four countries and has co-founded three companies across Asia and Europe.
Mayur’s expertise stems from a decade of experience across investments, corporate strategy, turnaround management, and business development. But he’s not your typical corporate guy, because he’s focused on business for good. Those in Singapore may know him from being the co-founder of the Green Collective: Singapore’s first sustainable brand collective curated around the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It aims to educate consumers and companies about sustainable options, reducing our carbon footprint on the planet. It’s a cooperative that not only does retail, but also does seminars, and curates experiences in-store and at external pop-ups.
With his background in finance, and interest in sustainable development and pushing for effective societal change, Mayur also wants to empower people to prepare, save, and invest in the things that matter to them. As, Mayur realised that changing the way we save our money can have an exponential impact not just on our financial security, but also on the future of our planet. Here’s a fact: managing our money sustainably can have up to 27 times more impact on the planet as compared to consuming sustainably.Â
