The Anthropology of Market Change

Sanjeev Krishnan, Senior Managing Director and CIO at S2G Ventures, kicked off the 2023 S2G Summit with a keynote on The Anthropology of Market Change. Since last year's Summit, capital markets have been down, the scale of many challenges has increased and the scale of deployment is still limited across transitions. Accelerating progress across sectors while navigating the current volatility of markets will require a major shift in productivity. While we have the innovation basis for a 21st-century productivity boom, there are a number of other factors that will enable market change and lead to the next productivity shift. In this opening keynote, Krishnan laid out factors that the speakers expanded on: digitization and computation, capacity and resource interconnectivity, organizational redesign, story and audience engagement, and capital markets innovation and scale.
