S1E7: The Five W's of Terra.do w/ Anshuman Bapna

Welcome to Terra.talk, the official podcast of international climate school ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Terra.do. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Shannon and Jae bring Season 1 home by going right to the source to learn about the company that started it all - we're interviewing the CEO, Anshuman Bapna. Anshuman is the founder of Terra.do, the global platform for learning & working in the climate economy. They combine immersive cohort-based learning programs with a powerful community of climate insiders and jobs from the top climate employers across the world. Think of them like a LinkedIn for Climate. Their ambitious goal is to move 100M people into climate work this decade. Anshuman is a serial entrepreneur. He co-founded and sold his first startup (RightHalf.com) while in undergrad at IIT Bombay, seeing it through the first boom & bust on the internet. After his MBA at Stanford, he spent some time selling solar lights in Vietnam and started a non-profit that helped Indian Members of Parliament develop their constituencies. All this while working with Deloitte, then Google in New York. He moved to Bangalore in 2009 to start Mygola.com, a travel planning app that was acquired by MakeMyTrip in 2015, where he was their Chief Product Officer until 2019 when a classic midlife crisis sent him in search for what was truly worth working on. He currently lives in Stanford University where his wife is finishing her PhD. He has two kids, and often finds himself taking climate inspiration (and career advice!) from them these days.
