Why an Institute of Inclusivity
To influence the culture in which all economic activity in general,
and business in particular, operates
To create a generation of leaders who become living examples of
that new culture
To establish frameworks, systems and processes that enable those
leaders to implement initiatives and programs of lasting change at
the ground level
To measure the impact of those initiatives and programs on society
To evolve the structure and function of the Institute with changing
times to become a crucible of inclusive growth , development and
prosperity

The Legal Entity Of I.I.I
There are three options for the legal structure of I.I.I
A Trust managed by a group of Trustees and co-sponsors
A Private Venture run and managed like a company, but with a
focus on social upliftment rather than private profit only
A PPP venture that is jointly owned and managed, and draws upon
• The Government for Hard Infrastructure Provisioning, umbrella
sponsorship and influence resources for socio-economic facilitation
• The Private enterprise for ‘Business Management’ of the entity with
qualified goals of ‘Return’ and Output accountability
Each of the above has its merits and
pitfalls. It is important to maintain
neutrality of interest

Next Steps
Determine a ‘Bounded Space’ for piloting III. This could be a state in
the country, with a proper understanding with its political
leadership and bureaucracy
Find an ‘executive sponsor’ for III in that Bounded Space
Constitute a Steering Committee for III
Create a Strategic ‘Plan’ with a 20 year horizon, where ‘return’ is
measured both in financial and non-financial terms
Kick-off the III
