Mr Chandran Nair, the founder and CEO of The Global Institute For Tomorrow (GIFT), is known for his enthusiasm and passion in sharing his views and thoughts on how business should operate sustainably.

He believes that thought leadership is one of the best approaches to make desired change become reality, and is an advocate for the protection of Asia’s social, economic and environmental aspects from the influence of the West.

Listen as he speaks out on various issues including the need for Asia to rise in its own narrative of success, independent of Western notions of what prosperity is, and why he says that “internet is one of the greatest threats to human civilisation”.
