She is a TEDx speaker and according to Forbes, “a leader in corporate social responsibility and marketing to the conscious consumer.” Founder and CEO of The Veneka Group, Shivika Sinha aims to reshape capitalism as a force for positive change. This group fosters business as a vehicle for good by accelerating growth for environmentally and socially conscious enterprises via e-commerce, marketing, brand strategy and partnerships.
Sinha, who was raised in Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Vietnam, Bangladesh and India, has dedicated her career to promote conscious consumerism and guide businesses to produce measurable environmental and social change. “Business must play a role in alleviating humanity’s greatest crisis in order for exponential positive impact to occur.”
On her TEDx talk about How Consumerism Can Save Our Planet and Humanity, she says: "Fashion is the second largest polluter of fresh water supply and the top exploiter of people on the planet. It’s responsible for 10% of global carbon emission. Over 60% of the world’s clothing is manufactured in developing countries, and 80% of those workers are women aged 18-35. Eleven percent of the global population of children are engaged in child labor, and many in the garment industry.
(...) The good news is that if a problem is manmade, it can be man-solved. The union between these ideas is where we fix humanity’s greatest struggles. Capitalism must incorporate measurable, positive environmental and social solutions. We cannot continue to rely heavily on charity to fix our urgent humanitarian and planetary needs. Capitalism must partake in securing the future of our inner and outer humanity because we need aggregating, self-perpetuating, powerful systems of change."
