Protecting the Planet and Reducing Inequality: Baroness Sandip K. Verma, Adviser
For Baroness Sandip K. Verma, an Adviser at 8 Dimension Ventures, life is all about balance. She has run successful businesses, raised two children, serves in the House of Lords, and lends her political strength to encouraging women in the energy sector.
“It is a great joy to be part of 8 Dimension Ventures,” she says. “I fully support their mission to help grow startups that invest back into the planet and people.”
8 Dimension Ventures will use the 8 Dimensions of Wellness (Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, Social, Occupational, Environmental, Financial, and Spiritual) to guide investments in companies that are having a powerful and positive impact on health and wellness.
Baroness Verma is excited that individuals are thinking about much more than the rate of return. “It’s wonderful to see investments in the green economy and those using digital technologies to reduce inequalities around the world.”
“We’re moving environmental, social, and health goals to the heart of business development, which promotes self-awareness and individual responsibility,” she says.
Moreover, she notes, consumers are growing increasingly vociferous about the need to protect the planet and are seeking to do the right thing. This creates a business opportunity for like-minded entrepreneurs and visionaries.
As a politician, the Baroness is keenly aware that governments around the world are supportive of these trends and are working hard to bring about behavioural change.
“The investments by 8 Dimension Ventures in the core strands of health and wellness are at the forefront of next-generation business growth,” she concludes.
