New Delhi: Pradip Shah is a renowned figure in India’s financial sector, but what sets his tale apart is the way he’s using his experience to save the environment. He began his professional life by establishing CRISIL, India’s largest and first credit rating agency, with high standards in the finance sector. But instead of resting on his laurels, he chose to embark on a new journey, one that benefits humans and the planet.
Now, Pradip Shah is the co-founder of Grow-Trees, an organization that makes it simple for anyone to plant trees. Whether for a birthday, a festival, or a corporate event, individuals can now plant trees in someone’s name with a click of a button. This concept, “Greet with Trees®,” allows individuals to send eTreeCertificates® with a message and image or logo, making greetings more significant and eco-friendly.
Thanks to him, more than 20 million trees have been planted in India. The trees are not only adding green, but they’re also bringing back forests, providing shelter to animals, conserving water, and even creating employment for villagers. Countless rural people now make a living from planting and maintaining these trees, which also benefits their families.
Pradip Shah’s intelligent leveraging of technology and business acumen have transformed Grow-Trees into a favorite among businesses that desire to do good. With tree planting, companies can demonstrate their concern for the environment as well as nurture improved relations with customers and employees.
Aside from Grow-Trees, he remains heavily involved in the corporate world. He consults for investment funds, serves as a director of several companies, and works for non-profits as a board member. His example proves it is possible to blend success and responsibility.
Simply put, Pradip Shah is paving the way for others to see how the vision of one man can provide a cleaner, better world for everyone.
