Overview
Sid Das is the founder of Impact Movement Asia, where he is mapping out the impact ecosystem in an Asian context. He was previously with Google and WWF, and is now a solopreneur, doing 90% of the work himself. Sid’s focus is on helping individuals and organizations create a lasting impact and legacy on the world around them. He believes that the way impact is measured and thought of cannot be the same across the world and that it’s important to map out what sustainability looks like in an Asian context. Sid believes that while the SDGs were a great start, organizations, and individuals need to go one step further in order to make a lasting impact. He also believes that B Corp certification could be a step in the right direction.

00:57- The journey from Technology to Nature to Impact
- I started with technology and I ultimately was in all the advances technology actually makes in today’s world.
- Then I moved to sustainability, thinking of how nature conservation could benefit from the technology.
- I’m now looking at impact largely from what people can do.
- my whole idea here was to start looking at impact keeping the individual at the center of it and all the roles that they need to play.
05:26- “Map out the impact ecosystem in an Asian context”
- Whenever you read your popular sources, nature and conservation magazines, and articles it always comes out that there is a colonial mindset in conservation.
- Society is based a lot on what’s happening in the US, UK, or Germany and not so much on what’s happening in Indonesia or in the fields of Vietnam. The way we measure impact cannot be the same across the world.
- I believe not just a number of people but the diversity and the potential for Progress and a sustainable mindset to move to a completely new thing is probably going to come from Africa India and Latin America.
18:50- Effect of Culture on Impact
- Culture has a massive effect on impact.
- I think most of the problems that we’re trying to look at and trying to solve have been in the ecosphere for a long time.
- When discussion on climate change reaches living rooms from boardrooms, we are making a change.
22:52- Three lessons
- Do not wait too long. Everybody in the world is meant to create an impact in any possible way that they can.
- Learn how to fundraise early in your life.
- Ask people for their time. People in the impact sector are kind.
