Anshu Gupta: Creating a Parallel Economy with Reused Materials
Founder and Director of GOONJ.org
April 30, 2013, Haas School of Business, UC Berkeley
Anshu Gupta, an Ashoka and Schwab Fellow, shared his experiences creating a cultural change - conscious giving, not thoughtless dumping - and how he came to lead one of the world's largest civic participation movements. He is the founder of GOONJ.org, a social enterprise that has created social innovations to address critical gaps in the developing world. Making clothing a matter of concern in the development sector emerged as his life's calling with GOONJ.
Considered one of the leading social enterprises in India, GOONJ, is focused on under resourced areas in development work; whether its clothing for the poor, cloth sanitary pads for women, or school materials for children. The organization is addressing the growing gap between prospering cities and rural villages, by moving resources from the former, who discard it as waste, to the later, for whom it is precious.

Water Pollution Ted Talk
A Young Scientist’s Quest for Clean Water.
Were you moved to action by the presentation? Why or why not?
This Ted Talk video really caught my attention because I was truly moved how the young presenter’s enthusiasm and care for humanity has taken her down a path of trying to solve the water pollution problem in the world. Deepika Kurup is an inventor, scientist, and has been passionate about solving the global water crisis ever since she was in middle school, as she was exposed to the water problem at a very early age while visiting family in India.
At 00:04 of the video, Deepika described how every summer, her family would travel across the world, 3,000 miles away to the culturally diverse country of India. Now, India is a country infamous for its scorching heat and humidity. Her parents would constantly remind her to only drink boiled or bottled water, because in India, the water is often contaminated. She saw children, who looked the same age as me, filling up these clear plastic bottles with dirty water from streams on the roadside. Watching these kids forced to drink water that I felt was too dirty to touch changed her perspective on the world. So, after returning home one summer in eighth grade, she decided that to combine the passion for solving the global water crisis with my interest in science. Deepika launched a lab in family garage to solve water pollution.
How did it compare to the information you already learned? Did you learn anything new? If so, what?
03:12 of the video, mentions a water purifying process called solar disinfection, or SODIS, which is used to purify water. In SODIS, I learned something new that I really cannot compare to anything I’ve seen before. The process consists of a simple clear plastic bottle which is filled with contaminated water and then exposed to sunlight for six to eight hours. The UV radiation from the sun destroys the DNA of these harmful pathogens and decontaminates the water.
What would the presenter have had to do or say or share (data) to make you change your mind and do something about the problem?
The Presenter didn’t really state any statistics or facts, but I felt like she was genuine in her in her beliefs toward solving a polluted water crisis and in the clo.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Abid surti interaction

MAY 2013 70
Aabid Surti is a National Award winning author, artist, cartoonist and playwright. But ask him what
his proudest achievement is and he will tell you, he has saved more than 1.5 million liters water, from
going down the drain, literally!
The 77-year-old celebrates Sunday like none else, picking up a building in Mumbai’s far-flung Mira Road
and, with his plumber and a volunteer in tow, searching for leaking taps to plug, free of charge! His
reward? A lot of water saved! Surti’s non-governmental organisation, Drop Dead Foundation, has just
one employee – him! “I read an article that if one drop of water is wasted every second, 1,000 liters goes
down the drain every month. An image of 1,000 bottles of 1 liter Bisleri bottles flashed before my eyes,”
Surti recalls. He couldn’t ignore that image and quickly started his movement to save water!
Every Sunday, Surti spends about Rs. 600 on visit homes and fix taps. Surti visits an average of 1,600
homes and fixes around 400 leaky taps, saving more than 4, 00,000 liters of water, every year!
Noted film star Shah Rukh Khan wrote to this versatile ‘water-warrior’, when he came to know about
this ‘one man army’ for water saving - “Sir, there are already too many gentlemen around…being neither
gentle nor manly. I was reading your ‘tap drive’. It sounds one of the little big things my dad would have
done. God bless you and yes, I believe in angels after reading the paper today!”
Mr. Kamal Khokhani, Publisher – IPT met Mr. Surti recently at Ahmedabad when the latter was
conferred with the prestigious ‘Sparrow Award’ and had a wide ranging talks with this multifaceted
personality who is also an author and an artist of repute. Here are the excerpts…

DROP DEAD!OR
An interaction with Aabid Surti
2. INDIAN PLUMBING TODAY SPEAKER SPEAKS
MAY 2013 71
What was the ‘germ’ that came to your mind
when you started this noble initiative of Drop
Dead Foundation for the nation’s good, nature’s
good and for a noble cause?
I came across a statistic that, if one drop is wasted
from a leaky tap every second, then in a month,
a thousand litres of water go down the drain. I
thought to myself, “If I can’t save the Ganga, I can
at least save a few drops”.
What was the initial reaction of people, when
you started this initiative, six years ago? What
is the response now, six years later?
The response has been the same – ‘pure love’.
Wherever I go with a plumber, people give us
respect. Sometimes, they even offer us snacks,
lunch, sweets, soft drinks etc.
As a ‘One Man’s Army’, it’s a marathon task that
you’ve taken up. How do you plan to take this
thought forward?
I don’t have to take it anywhere. It’s moving
smoothly on its own, like a leaf floating with the
flow of the river.
You reside in one of India’s Metro’s which
happens to be so vast and fast-paced. Within
this myriad Mumbai population, how do you
plan to speed-up your plans in terms of ‘active’
solutions?
Not only Mumbai, it has taken roots in many
other cities in India without any effort on my side.
This proves that if the thought is pure, then nature
takes care of the rest.
We Indians, know the danger, that scarcity of
water can bring about in our lives if we do not
get conscious about it and yet, we keep cool and
take ‘water’ for granted. With your practical
implementation of ‘Saving Water’, how do you
think people’s mindsets can be changed?
The easiest way out is to use religion in a
positive way. For example, the Jain community is
responding to our cause very strongly, because
in their religion, the importance of water is
emphasized. Luckily, they have remembered
it. But other communities have forgotten. For
example, Prophet Mohammad and the Holy
Quran too have underlined the importance of
trees and water. Unfortunately, I haven’t heard
any Mullah referring to it in his congregation. So,
wherever I get an opportunity, I emphasize on
what holy books say about conserving water.

How do you perceive the plumbing scenario in
our country?
As far as the affluent localities and five star
buildings are concerned, the plumbing scenario is
as good as any western country. It’s like we have
solved the clean water problem of rich people by
introducing bottled water. What have we done for
the poor masses? In middle-class localities, the
plumbing scenario is pathetic.
“Green” is the ruling colour of today and
tomorrow. Please share with our readers, your
perception on “Green Plumbing” and what steps
should be taken to meet this end?
The first step to move towards green plumbing is
to have correct plumbing. In many localities and
ghettos, the plumbing material is so poor that the
pipes start cracking and taps start leaking within
a few months of its installation. I strongly believe,
some sort of quality control is a quintessential in
the material used for new buildings.
Health, Hygiene, Sanitation are rock solid
challenges, facing India, today. How, according
to you, can we overcome these challenges?
If bands of dedicated social workers, supported by
Corporates, are given a blueprint to tackle health,
hygiene and sanitation, I believe these problems
can be considerably solved. I had encountered a
“Boond boond hai anmol – each drop of water
counts”! What measures do you suggest for the
validity and severity of this statement?
I tell people about Rajasthani women going miles
on foot all day to collect a potful of water. Women
in some African countries go out to the fields,
early morning, to collect dew drops from leaves.
In future, I intend to show videos from my laptop.
I am looking forward to some financial support to
create interesting videos to highlight this.
How can your creative background be used
to achieve the ‘success mantra’ in this social
venture? Can the two be juxtaposed to gain a
fine balance and a far-reaching outcome as well?
Of course creativity helps! The basic concept
of ‘saving a drop’ is the result of a ‘fertile mind’.
Now, I am also working on short films to create
awareness for water conservation. I intend to
upload these films on net, especially on YouTube
and Drop Dead Foundation’s pages on Facebook.
“An artist with an authentic approach”. What is
the satisfaction you derive out of this noble cause?
As I have said earlier, the unadulterated love,
the selfless affection of people that I receive, is
unexplainable. I also believe that society has done
so much for us, now it’s our duty to return the
favour.

team of five Indian American Collegians doing
padyatra in Gujarat, going from village to village,
cleaning the garbage, whitewashing the faded
walls and building simple latrines using bamboos
and mud.
As one of the speakers at ensuing World
Plumbing Conference, what would be the main
emphasis of your presentation before a global
audience?
Naturally my focus will be on conserving water,
the blue gold, and other natural resources since
they are all interconnected. For example, if trees are
there, water is there. The scarcity of water will force
millions to migrate and then it will be too late.
How do you rate Indian Plumbing Today as
a platform for dissemination of information
amongst the plumbing professionals?
These professionals are the key figures in an
industry that can make miracles in environment.
Hence, this platform is most ideal for sharing new
ideas.

What message would you like to give through
this platform of IPT?
It’s simple: Just do it. The time is running out.
