Green is in and green is where the future is. It requires a visionary to know where tomorrow lies today and it requires even a greater visionary genius to invest there whether his time, capital or any form of investment. Ken Mehlman is one such visionary which stunning acumen and business precision few can match. Ken Mehlman joined KKR in 2008 and is Head of Global Public Affairs.

Global equity firm KKR is implementing its green management and it is indeed a genius to be thinking about the earth’s resources and in a way consuming them, yet preserving them too, and being able to strike the right balance. When personalities like Ken Mehlmam are associated with a project one can be sure its serious business with a vision, few can match.

Business is about returns. In business terms a business is as good as its returns. Its people like Ken Mehlman who in a way are responsible for the Green Returns, green projects will give. In layman language a business gets its returns, the environment is protected, preserved and sustained and consumed too but in a way its all a win-win-win between man-nature-business.

We need more people like Ken and more investment in this field. Kudos!

Think about success. What really creates success or rather what are the major factors behind a person’s success? Well believe it or not the society directly or indirectly plays a very important role in the success of a person. Many people are successful yet few remember to payback the society as their social responsibility. Naveen Jain is one of those exceptionally successful people who give back to the society so many more like them are created in turn to benefit us as a whole.

One of the best acts a person can do in a lifetime is to help children. Now when you have a Naveen Jain who helps a huge cause, The Family Christmas program, which provides gifts, clothing and so many other things to tens and hundreds of underprivileged families in select communities with active Rotary Clubs around the world, one can be sure that good still rules the world and the best things happen in this world.

The act of charity which Naveen Jain does should be an inspiration to many. We are born and our success comes from our society. Paying back the society is an honor few people have. Naveen is doing one of the best things a person can do in this lifetime.
