The Story Project
We are a passionate team working towards creating collaboration for a sustainable future using the powerful medium of storytelling!
Sustainability has taken on an absolute new meaning as the world copes with Covid 19 and it is even more critical than ever before to make the future a cause for the present.
Most organizations have been working in their own way to positively impact the 17 UN Development & Sustainable Goals (SDG’s) and yours would be one of the many. However, change needs to be accelerated and widescale impact is only possible if organizations come together, pool their expertise & resources instead of doing what they are in silos.
To enable organizations to take the first step in this direction we have conceptualized a first of its kind, Corporate Chameleon Story Project: 2020.

The aim is to bring to common platform stories from corporations that are adapting, innovating, and driving change towards a happy and sustainable future.
Our belief is that every organization has its unique and compelling stories, ones that fuel their vision, serve their customers/ society, contribute to transformation and ones from which others can learn and take inspiration. The Corporate Chameleon 2020 aims to make this and more happen.
Stories Beyond Boundries.
Would it then not be amazing if stories from organizations could travel beyond their boundaries?
Inspire.
Would these stories not inspire & fuel more such initiatives?
Connect & Support.
Would these stories not help organisations to connect & support one another?
