PBD Guest Interview: IMC first to launch Green Bonds soon, collab with UN officer Siddharth Rajhans!

Did you know that Indore Municipal Corporation is the first municipal body to come up with a public issue as a green bond? It will be launched in coming days! The person collaborating for the same is a young officer from Indore, who is now Principal Policy Officer at United Nation, New York.
Meet 31-year-old Siddharth Rajhans, an Indori who made it big in the world at the age 31 and feels that every Indori has the potential for the same, but needs to execute the vision and study market thoroughly.
Discussing on green bonds, Rajhans said, “I have personally collaborated with Pushyamitra Ji and Smart cities Indore. I think there is a great scope and vision with the team here.”
In his plans for Indore, Rajhans said, “I have been working with the central and state governments to bring latest technologies, including AI backed Smart city deployment tools, Satellite Internet and backend dev ops platforms for better civic engagement.” He is going to invest and bring these technologies as part of Pravasi Bhartiya Diwas 2023.
Strategic presence makes Indore, a Smart City indeed.
Indore has developed rapidly in the last 10 years. Today Indore is as developed as any city in the US, with good roads, great cleanliness and good civic sense and infrastructure.
The strategic presence of Indore as a commercial capital make it a great reason to be a smart city. Further, civic administration, from IMC to Indore Smart cities are doing a great job.
IT companies see bigger hope in Indore than Mumbai
It is completely possible at least for the IT sector in Indore to surpass Hyderabad and Bangalore in the coming decade. The companies here - TCS, Infosys, Accenture are all working in full capacity now. They have much bigger campuses in Indore than the Mumbai and Trivandrum ones.
Also we have a boom in the start-up sector. I think in the next part of this decade we have a brilliant opportunity to be number one on the IT map of the country.
Indoris need to learn geopolitics for global businesses
Young Indoris who want to expand their business globally need to understand global geopolitics and market strategies. You cannot aim to succeed without thorough market knowledge. An essential reminder is ‘Do not fail to experiment’.
You cannot learn from books, what you can from practice. So go out there and explore things first.
Indori lives on… suggestions for visitors
I love adding a little bit of spice or Jeeravan to whatever I eat. I think that is something quintessentially Indori in me.
Hangout@ I think Chappan Dukaan and Palasia are really nice places to hang out.
Eat @ Anything around Sarafa! I also think Johnny Hot Dog is the best place to have a quick, yummy fast food.
Places must-see in Indore: Super Corridor, Phoenix Citadel, Chappan Dukaan, Palasia, Gulawat Lotus Valley etc
Things to do in Indore: Shop around Rajwada, books at Khajuri, several things to eat, lots to explore!
Food must-try in Indore: Dahi bada at Joshi Dahi bada.
