Terra.do
Founder
Palo Alto, California, USA
Anshuman is the founder of Terra.do, the global platform for learning & working in the climate economy. Their ambitious goal is to move 100M people into climate work!
Anshuman is a serial entrepreneur. He co-founded and sold his first startup while in undergrad at IIT Bombay, seeing it through the first boom & bust on the internet. After his MBA at Stanford, he spent some time selling solar lights in Vietnam and started a non-profit that helped Indian Members of Parliament develop their constituencies. All this while working with Deloitte, then Google in New York. He moved to Bangalore in 2009 to start Mygola.com, a travel planning app that was acquired by MakeMyTrip in 2015, where he was their Chief Product Officer until 2019 when a classic midlife crisis sent him in search for what was truly worth working on. He currently lives in Stanford University where his wife is finishing her PhD. He has two kids, and often finds himself taking climate inspiration (and career advice!) from them these days.
Call-to-Action
The climate crisis is also an *opportunity* to build a fundamentally better economic system that is regenerative and puts people & planet first. For that, we need to help a 100M people start working on climate solutions within a decade. That means teaching millions of people about climate science, impacts and solutions in a holistic way, and also the skills to participate in the climate economy. We've started just such a transformation with Terra.do. How might we get climate education embedded in every school, workplace, state & national government skilling program?
