Co-Founder and CEOEarthEnable
Gayatri Datar is the co-founder and CEO of EarthEnable, a social enterprise that aims to make living conditions healthier for the world’s poor, first by eliminating dirt floors. Dirt floors make people sick, and concrete is unaffordable to billions of people. EarthEnable solves this problem by selling a proprietary floor that is 80% cheaper than cement. Prior to founding EarthEnable, she worked at Dalberg Global Development Advisors and the World Bank, and also consulted for the Government of Liberia’s Department of Revenue, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the International Finance Corporation, and grassroots NGOs in India, Namibia, Nicaragua, Albania, and the United States. She holds a BA in Economics from Harvard College, an MPA/ID from the Harvard Kennedy School, and an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where she was an Arjay Miller Scholar.
