He lectures often throughout the United States and Israel, and has taught courses on The Holocaust at the high school and university levels.

Jigar Shah Board Member Carbon War Room @Indiantiger24 Jigar Shah is an entrepreneur and visionary committed to leveraging the next economy by solving the challenging issues of our time. Shah has recognized this as The Impact Economy. Shah has noted that a global "Impact Economy" is one in which mainstream investors team up with corporations, entrepreneurs, and governments at scale to solve the big problems of our time while generating compelling financial returns not concessionary returns. Today, he is CEO of Jigar Shah Consulting.

Speeding the diagnosis and treatment of HIV-positive babies.


When newborns are diagnosed with HIV, theres no time to wait to begin treatment. Without early diagnosis and treatment, nearly half wont live to see their second birthday. But all too often, infants die because of antiquated, ineffective paper-based systems which delay the return of test results, slowing their diagnosis and the start of treatment. Together with the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) and the Kenyan government, HP has improved the Early Infant Diagnosis process which is dramatically accelerating testing and treatment for more than 120,000 infants at risk of HIV in Kenya each year. HP is providing technology that reduces the turnaround time for HIV test results from as long as several months to less than 30 daysa huge improvement that helps save thousands of lives.
