We at Alternate Approaches believe that for humanity to thrive, we need a new breed of business and political leaders; people who strive for collaborative growth, with intellectual-integrity at the core, as the only recourse. We believe the future is not about one nation ahead of another, rather about entrepreneurs creating cross-nation value chains, as drivers of knowledge-led commerce, in a decentralized economic structure!
We endeavour to utilise the latest networking technologies to bring together the isolated champions of excellence; to empower the new breed of shubh-labh entrepreneurs as pioneering leaders in creating new business solutions towards a safer, healthier, happier, and sustainable future.
Seeds of this company were sown in the 1980s, during the founder's sojourn from Bhilai, a little town in central part of India, to Chicago, as a graduate student. Whilst in the US, he wondered how to combine the sense of individual-independence & technology-based material prosperity of the USA with the sense of emotional-interdependence prevalent in every Indian household.
Alternate Approaches was created as a strategic knowledge-company, to empower new breed shubh-labh entrepreneurs, by Tulsi Tawari in 1997 from Mumbai. In 2000, as a strategic advisor to KVIC (Khadi & Village Industries Commission), an umbrella institution of the Government of India, nurturing over 5000 village enterprises across the countryside, contributing to policy-based interventions for production to sales. In 2005, under accreditation of Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), the premier national scientific institute, launched a healthcare radiation-safety enterprise, Ultra-Tech Labs, catering to needs of about 8,000 institutions, covering 75,000 individuals, across 20 states in India. Currently Alternate Approaches is engaged in grooming entrepreneurs engaged in Electronics & IT, Agriculture and Management Systems, across all levels.
Networked with over 100 closely-knit professionals and entrepreneurs, with proven lifelong commitment to intellectual integrity in business practises, Alternate Approaches launched this new initiative in 2020, with the goal to empower pioneering shubh-labh entrepreneurs, at all levels of economy. Major thrust areas: Food & Nutrition, Preventive Healthcare, Customized Education, New-age 5-T technologies, and Nature-compatible Habitats.
