29-year-old global impact entrepreneur Pratik Gauri is on the path to positively impact 6 billion humans by redefining Âbusiness as usualÂ

COVID 19 crisis has made everyone believe ÂBusiness As Usual wonÂt work. We need to redefine the way we do business. What will be the post-COVID-19 new normal? 5th Industrial Revolution!
Business and Impact can go hand-in-hand and companies can make more profits if they positively impact society. Impact entrepreneur Pratik Gauri has proven companies end up making more profits if they focus on impact. He has been helping fortune 500 brands move from for-profit to for-benefit. This is what he calls the Â5th Industrial Revolution.Â
In the Fifth Industrial Revolution, humans and machines will dance together, metaphorically, writes Pratik in his article published in The European Sting.  Â5IR is about using frontier technology created in 4IR ( AI / IoT / Blockchain etc ) to positively impact humanityÂ, says Pratik.
Gauri has also successfully proven that companies get a better ROV (Return On Value) when they mobilise marketing money towards social causes. Through 5th Element Group, a global impact consultancy he runs in India, he mobilises millions of marketing dollars for social causes which increases ÂBrand Warmth of the brands.
In January 2020, he also helped take RBÂs Harpic Mission Paani stewarded by Amitabh Bacchhan to World Economic Forum in Davos. Amidst COVID 19, he and his colleagues at 5th Element Group helped build ÂSome Good NewsÂ, a global news phenomenon by actor John Krasinski by mobilising money from Pepsico and Starbucks towards restaurant associations.
Gauri founded his first startup when he was 16, and since then he has founded 8 purpose startups in the 5IR Space. ÂThe only way to be successful in post COVID-19 world is by creation of omniwinsÂ, says Gauri. He has managed to create win-win partnerships between Fortune 500 companies, Ultra High Net Worth Individuals / Family Offices, Social Entrepreneurs, and Government. 
Globe-trotter Pratik went to 26 countries last year and represented India at prestigious covenings like World Economic Forum in Davos, Skoll World Forum in Oxford, Nobel Peace Prize Forum in Oslo, and United Nations in New York. He also won Gold at the UNLEASH innovation lab for SDGs in China.
Among his many awards, he has been named a GreenBiz Global “30 under 30”, BP Scholar, WEF Global Shaper, Climate Leader trained by US Vice President Al Gore, Ambassador at One Young World, and AsiaÂs top 50 voices by Earth Day Network.Looking at his vision and plans, this 29-year-old is definitely on the path to becoming a self-made billionaire. When asked about his plans to become a billionaire, he smiles and says, ÂIf i can make 6 billion people live more abundant lives by building unicorn startups in the 5IR space, iÂm certain iÂll have an abundant life too.ÂThe world certainly needs more impact entrepreneurs like Pratik to redefine Âbusiness as usual.Â
