Ankur Jain Talks Launching Kairos Society Ventures And Retail's Impending Tech Disruption

Forbes - Tech

Kairos Society Founder Ankur Jain speaks at the welcome dinner at the Kairos Society Global Summit at Espace on February 22, 2013 in New York City. Ankur Jain is building his vision of the future by understanding what industries are broken in this world, with the goal to fix them through business, technology, and innovation via the Kairos Society. An organization he founded, Kairos employs a unique recipe which brings together the world's greatest leaders--think former Apple CEO John Sculley, former head of the CIA/NSA Mike Hayden and Robert Safian, Editor-in-Chief of Fast Company--with the world's youngest and brightest founders and entrepreneurs. The result is that the people who are acutely aware of the problems (the leaders) can inform those on the cutting edge of innovation (the founders) to find solutions through business. Jain likes to use the term broken when talking about industries and systems that are lagging behind or in desperate need of an update.
