Srini Srinivasan
LUMIUM Inc.
Corporate Member

My last six years at the Board of icsid/WDO has taught me the value of design in a very broad sense beyond the studio experience and grew my passion for sustainable development across communities. I have gained valuable insights on how cities work in shaping the future and attract new investments for creating a better environment.

In my current role I am very committed to promoting WDO objectives across various regions, cities and communities and getting WDO more closer to people to realize the dreams of a better world.
