Global X had a chance to interview Bill Drayton, the founder of Ashoka, when they were both attending the Skoll World Forum 2008 in Oxford.
In this two-minute interview (the first of a series of four videos), Bill Drayton describes the magical instant when a social entrepreneur discovers that the moment to change social structure has arrived.
Listen to him as he begins the interview with these words: "I was in India as an undergraduate..."
That's when all the statistics over the difference in incomes became very real and personal for him. That's also when he realized that "the most powerful force in the world is a big pattern change idea, but only if it's in the hands of a very good entrepreneur."
