We are excited to be in conversation with Navjot Sawhney on ‘Sustainable Tech for a Greater Good’, as part of our The Thought Leader’s Voice podcast series.

This series explores how independent thought leaders bring their ideas to scale within the business world as they share powerful, thought-provoking insights with our listeners. Our objective remains to amplify the voices of business leaders who share their thoughts on solving some of today’s most pressing challenges.

We are thrilled to be joined in this episode by Navjot Sawhney, Founder of the Washing Machine Project, TEDx speaker, and Member Board of Trustees at Engineers Without Borders UK.
