Charity is the way to social growth, but not the only way, and entrepreneurs need to be a part of social growth said David Wittenberg, CEO, The Innovation Workgroup, speaking on ‘Innovating for Social Return’ at the CII today.
Wittenberg, while interacting with the gathering, spoke about social growth and asked the participants to share their views about the understanding of social growth. “There is an urgent need to have social growth as companies these days are only focused towards making business profits,” he said.
He added that business hoses and individuals play a greater role in social growth in any country than the government. Wittenberg said that there are different ways to work for social returns and one just needs to have a goal as how and what needs to be done. Siting Tata’s example, Wittenberg said that they have opened a cancer hospital to serve the society which is also a step towards social growth.
