Background

About Lalit Matai

My purpose is to facilitate systemic transformation in individuals, organizations and societies. People and Planet are at the heart of my passion. Closely associated with the global fashion supply chain for about 30 years, I have witnessed the exploitation of the environment and the plight and hardship of workers, primarily women, in this labor-intensive industry. This has driven my resolve and commitment towards resolving systemic issues in our social and business systems toward a healthier planet and fair treatment for all. I trust our planet Earth is under grave threat. Every human being has the power to make conscious choices, leading to a sustainable positive impact on the environment and saving our planet. I work from the paradigm that the ultimate business of any business is “people” and trust in leading by cultivating valuable human resources and relationships. I trust that maximizing human capital is the key to the sustainable long-term success of an organization. I have deep faith in human potential and trust that transformation is possible in individuals, organizations, and societies, and as a result, I have pursued learning and experience as a coach and facilitator to serve better the people and organizations I am affiliated with. Strength Training, Yoga and Trekking are my energizers. I love spending time in nature and an occasional game of golf. Leadership Edge • Visionary. Strategic planning.
