Mr. Sharma also serves on the board of a few climate-tech, fintech, and circular economy startups and is in the process of launching a new Sustainability Fund approved in principle by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Mr. Sharma was actively involved in the last 12 months in evaluating, advising, and mentoring global climate-tech companies that participated in the Climate Finance Accelerator managed by KPMG, Singapore, and, as a result, got access to a pre-qualified deal flow of climate finance startups.

Mr. Sharma has a track record of running successful technology businesses in Asia, where he first started SPREAD Pte. Ltd.

SPREAD was supported by way of grants from the Singapore Government to bring in 'Sustainability Integrity’ by leveraging the convergence of IoT (Internet of Things) and Blockchain to deal with the greenwashing issue. The convergence of IoT & Blockchain makes Voluntary Carbon Markets more efficient and transparent is a topic close to Mr. Sharma’s heart.
