Notes: India ranked eighth on the annual climate change performance index, jumping two positions since last year, Carbon Copy reports. India is among the high-performing countries in the index, preceded by Denmark, Sweden, Chile, and Morocco, while the first three positions for “very high” performance remained empty, according to the report. Released by Germanwatch, NewClimate Institute and Climate Action Network, the Climate Change Performance Index 2023 (CCPI), evaluated and compared the climate protection performance of 59 countries and of the European Union (EU), which together are responsible for more than 90 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. The CCPI assessed countries' performance in four categories: GHG emissions, renewable energy, energy use, and climate policy. India earned a high rating in the GHG emissions and energy use categories and a medium one for climate policy and renewable energy. The index said that the country is on track to meet its 2030 emissions targets, compatible with a well-below-2°C scenario. However, the renewable energy pathway is not on track for the 2030 target.

Started in 2014, PickYourTrail is India's biggest online D-I-Y holiday booking platform that empowers users to curate customized holidays. PickYourTrail is also that rare startup whose founders dived into a tech-led venture without any tech background. They even went without a head of engineering for half that time. And yet, the startup has built an enviable technology stack that has helped it scale while remaining profitable. In this episode of The Startup Operator, Roshan talks to Hari Ganapathy, Co-Founder of PickYourTrail, about thriving in the tourism industry during the pandemic. Prior to starting PickYourTrail, Hari was responsible for building and scaling the EMEA Inside and Online sales Team at InMobi - one of the world's leading Marketing Clouds. He also managed high-volume / low-margin and low-volume / high-margin sales at Britannia and Reckitt Benckiser respectively.

In the latest episode of The Takeaway Club™, I had the privilege of talking to one of the smartest and exuberant founders in the Chennai startup ecosystem, Hari Ganapathy, founder and CEO, PickYourTrail. It is a conversation that I've been looking forward to, for quite some time - We had actually planned to get this done in the month of July, but one thing or another came up and we had to reschedule a bunch of times but we had a lot of fun around the whole back and forth in the build-up to the call as well, turning it into a meme fest. You can check out the memes in the show notes on The Takeaway Club™ website - www.thetakeaway.club If you are hesitant about listening or rolling your eyes at the length of the episode, you can throw your doubts out the window because the conversation absolutely flies. There is not one part that you would actually want to skip – right from his encounter with a German family as an exchange student tp the paradigm shifts in the travel industry. We talk at length about several aspects of his journey – some, straight-forward like the lessons he learned from his time at InMobi, and others, more intricate; like connecting the dots, founders and their personality, and how it impacts a company's culture and so on. Anyone who knows Hari knows how eloquent and generous he is with words. But even I was surprised at how open and candid he was about certain delicate subjects like the current crisis, and the question of survival for PickYourTrail and such. All in all, it was a fun, super insightful conversation and I hope you have as much fun listening, as we did when recording! Short of time?
