In our May 2nd You’re MarketingKind Arunjay Katakam, author of Generation Hope, will share how inclusive economics can help us all thrive.
Yanis Varoufalkis, author of Technofeudalism and Another Now, endorsed the book saying, “A generation of hope is what we need urgently. Here is a book helping ensure the next one proves precisely that.”
It is easy to get discouraged when faced with the reality of the current climate crisis, economic instability, and the vast income inequality across the globe. It’s obvious that our trajectory is aimed toward destruction. But is it possible to make adjustments to that path, and if so, who's going to lead us?
Arunjay will share inspiring examples of people, organisations, companies and governments that are already doing the work of building inclusive economic systems that serve all of humanity.
Arunjay is a former serial entrepreneur and recovering wealth-chaser, having realized in May 2020 that by wanting to be super rich, he was part of the problem.
Arunjay left a career in investment banking and has spent over a decade in international development, working with the GSMA and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, among other development agencies, to increase financial inclusion by pioneering the "Internet of Money" - an open, regulated, global payments inter-network to provide financial services to 8 billion people across 193 countries. In a previous life, he mentored over 20 inclusive fintech startups with DFS Lab and was a venture builder with Catalyst Fund. He diligently advocates for a zero-fee customer payment model in his first book, The Power of Micro Money Transfers. In 2020, Arunjay created the Inclusive Action Lab, a nonprofit that is incubating moonshot ideas focused on ending poverty for the last billion people by 2030.
Generation Hope has been created as a public service and is available for free download in PDF and e-reader formats. Arunjay is not earning any money on this book and all profits go to Acumen, a global nonprofit changing the way the world tackles poverty.
