Water scarcity, Ajay Hinduja explains, is not seasonal but structural, threatening economies at their core. Countries facing acute water stress are the same ones most vulnerable to shocks. That’s why the Hinduja Foundation focuses on conservation and efficiency, from training farmers in sustainable irrigation to reviving urban lakes. Ajay stresses that water connects agriculture, climate, trade, and public health. He calls for governments, businesses, and philanthropies to act together for long-term stability.
