Prof Rajendra Sisodia, author of the book Global Conscious Capitalism Movement, on Tuesday opined here that business has a greater role to play in building a humane world.
He made this view while delivering the 10th lecture of the Odisha Knowledge Hub (OKH) at the State Secretariat.
Maintaining that the doctrines of conscious capitalism should focus on higher purposes beyond mere economic profit and wellbeing of all stakeholders, Sisodia said conscious leadership and culture of trust and fairness in the business are other doctrines of conscious capitalism.
“Capitalism has resources, technology, dynamism and wealth and it only needs to be tuned with great wisdoms of humanity for contributing towards human wellbeing,” he viewed and recommended that the Governments should instill these doctrines in to the business communities.
