Given near-existential challenges faced by humanity, there are hundreds of sustainability-oriented entities (non-profits, NGOs, for-profit impact businesses, public bodies) stepping up to drive new innovations and solutions deployment and global scaling. WHEELS model is not to duplicate any of those efforts and waste precious resources. Rather, our focus is help address gaps and be a key scaling catalyst in accelerating the journey to a sustainable world. We intend to address the gaps by leveraging our massive alumni ecosystem’s power – products & services, technologies & innovations, business & financial models – all visible and within reach of our alumni working at early-stage start-ups to Global 100 corporations. Further, we see opportunities to address the gaps by sponsoring targeted research at our family of IITs. We intend to materially impact the scaling trajectory by fully leveraging our unique position of a connector of this large ecosystem of 400,000+ alumni and 23 IITs – leveraging the technology & business knowledge & resources, financial capacity, network relationships with dozens of entities of all flavors worldwide.
