Ketan Patel, renowned investment banker, strategist, and best-selling author delivered the keynote address at an inaugural event titled ?The 2007 Indus Insight? organised by leading Coventry Charity?Sewa International.
As a result of his time at leading investment bank, Goldman Sachs, Patel cultivated a powerful network of substantive authorities in various fields of work. This unique access to people in high places gave him the opportunity to discuss fundamental questions facing us, in particular, the strategies for creating peace, prosperity and freedom.
?The presence of the world”srichest, such as Gates and Buffett, willing to donate their billions to solve the world”smost important issues combined with the breakthroughs in medicine, electronics and materials gives us the opportunity to make a historic shift in seemingly structural poverty. However, this will not happen unless we have master strategists to change minds and behaviours and re-architect our values? said Patel.
On behalf of Sewa International Shri Abhay Chopada said: ?We agree with his analysis that if we are to address the key challenges facing the world or even in our very own local communities, we will need to bring a paradigm shift in the way we view the world. In particular, we believe that a shift in values will only take place if we rise above our individual aspirations to take into account what”sgood for our society as a whole. On this count alone, we consider Sewa International”semphasis on collective and selfless action as an excellent example of a group re-architecting the values and DNA of our society.? (FOC)
