MUMBAI, 10 April, 2013 — Hult International Business School is proud to announce that one of India’s leading social entrepreneurs and former Hult Prize winner Akanksha Hazari will be the keynote speaker at the school’s first thought-leadership seminar in India. The event, which will be held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Mumbai on April 13th, will examine the topic of CSR – Sustainability Meets Profitability.
Akanksha Hazari, who led the Cambridge University team that won the USD1 million Hult Prize in 2011, has been honored by President Bill Clinton and the Clinton Global Initiative and was recently named one of India’s top 10 social entrepreneurs.

The company has grown quickly and is now about to launch a pilot project in Mumbai. “We are very excited to realize our dream of empowering underserved communities with tools, skills and knowledge that will enable them to invest in their own futures.”
