Anand Malligavad, THE LAKE LIBERATOR | Cochin Herald Magazine | May-Jun 2022

“I finally started thinking that I should do something. Being a common man, if I create awareness, nobody listens to me. It reached very few people. I thought instead of creating awareness, why don’t I create a model of lakes; why don’t we rejuvenate the lakes?”
-Anand Malligavad

Anand Malligavad is a man of action- he is Bengaluru’s very own lake conservationist who is on his way to winning back the city its original title of ‘City of Lakes’. Since 2016, Anand Malligavad has been on the field, transforming dead water bodies into lakes sprawling with water, flora and fauna to become community hotspots.

Pratik Gauri - 5ire-d up!, The conventional goal
of entrepreneurship
and business is
with the viewfinder
primarily set on
capturing profits. On the other
hand, institutions driven by
purpose often come with the
not-for-profit or charitable
nomenclature.
So, what’s eventually the bigger
picture- profits OR purpose?
Through the Fourth Industrial
Revolution, Pratik Gauri has a
hypothesis that it is possible
to combine both profit
and purpose, having spent
considerable efforts in finding
the answer to this belief. His
own sustainable businesses now
As a 16-year old, Pratik
understood that social
entrepreneurship was considered
synonymous to charity and
businesses were considered
synonymous to profits. “There
was no person or no place that
I could find where people were
working at the intersection
of purpose and profits; where
people were actually making
money and also going good to
the world. Either they were just
doing business and making
money or they were just doing
charity. That’s the way I saw the
dichotomy.” He remembers that
he somehow wanted to work at
the intersection of both these
worlds. Getting to this sweet spot,
he developed the concept of the
Fifth Industrial Revolution.
prove this, resetting the backdrop
to the photoscape of businesses
in the future.
Leading the way with his pictureperfect
synergy of profits AND
purpose, Pratik Gauri is heralding
the Fifth Industrial Revolution. He
discusses how great ideas begin
from small conversations with
Neha Vinod from Cochin Herald
in this exclusive cover story.

RAM KOTAK - LEADING THE LEGACY, Living in the
shadow of a
sterling lineage
may force people

with benignity. He tread
along the path paved by his
patriarchs for the first half of
his life and now, he is the man
who is leading the prodigious

Without a hint of hesitance,
ever ready with riveting
responses, Mr Kotak narrates
the tales of his past and
present and his visions for

experience and a feel for the
path ahead after stepping
into the family business at
the tender age of fifteen,
young Kotak looked into the
kaleidoscope of his future
through the older Kotaks of
the family. Alongside work, he
pursued a professional degree
from HR College, Mumbai
and later got his diploma in

Mumbai University.
Ram began his
