Asmita Dwivedi

In a world where success is often measured by wealth and status,
Asmita Dwivedi challenges us to redefine our understanding of
prosperity. Asmita is an entrepreneur, business consultant, and
impact investor who has dedicated her career to creating a more
equitable and sustainable world. In a conversation for the
Regenerative Market Economy podcast, Asmita shared her insights
on the importance of empathy, diversity, and a global minimum
standard of living in creating a world where businesses,
communities, and individuals thrive in harmony with nature and
each other.

Asmita's journey has taken her from running a small business with
900 workers in India to consulting for M&A in Sweden. Along
the way, she has learned the value of understanding different
cultures and perspectives. She believes that empathy and
curiosity are key to creating a more equitable world.

When it comes to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, Asmita challenges
us to think beyond the traditional definition of basic needs. She
argues that a global minimum standard of living is necessary to
ensure that everyone has access to the resources they need to
thrive. This includes not only food, shelter, and healthcare, but
also education, leisure, and the ability to pursue one's
passions.

Asmita also emphasizes the importance of finding balance between
structure and chaos. She believes that a regenerative market
economy is one that prioritizes the well-being of all people and
the planet over profit. This means recognizing that our
well-being is interconnected and that our actions have a ripple
effect on those around us.

To create a regenerative market economy, Asmita encourages us to
practice empathy and curiosity in all of our interactions. She
believes that by understanding and valuing different
perspectives, we can create a world where businesses,
communities, and individuals thrive in harmony with nature and
each other.

Asmita also emphasizes the importance of diversity and skilling
in creating a more equitable world. She believes that by
investing time in learning and understanding different
perspectives, we can create a more inclusive and sustainable
world.

Ultimately, Asmita's vision for a regenerative market economy is
one where we prioritize people and the planet over profit. She
encourages us to redefine success, growth, and progress in a way
that prioritizes the well-being of all people and the planet. By
creating a world where businesses, communities, and individuals
thrive in harmony with nature and each other, we can create a
more just and sustainable future for all.
