This real-time customer feedback is driving the discovery and growth of plant-based options around the world,\u201d said Founder &amp; CEO Vikas Garg.<\/li><li>But he wasn\u2019t happy with just chasing numbers. \u201cSomething has begun to eat at me,\u201d he confessed. \u201cThe disparity of ownership and control between the technology industry and the people responsible for driving their businesses to success.\u201d<\/li><li>This spurred him to launch the Community Equity Program. For the past 3 years, every review on the app earned users US$1 which they can choose to donate to any of abillion\u2019s partner charities. Under this program, they also have the choice to take shares in the company!<\/li><li>\u201cTo be a truly sustainable company, we must nurture our community,\u201d Vikas explained. \u201cSo that\u2019s why we\u2019re the first and only social media platform in the world where our community is given a stake in the future we\u2019re all working so hard together to create.\u201d<\/li><li>\u201cI hope that in the years to come we show the world that it\u2019s possible to build a successful technology company that\u2019s driven by shared values and a mission to spread compassion around the world,\u201d he concluded.<\/li><li>Learn more from Vikas <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3f0uEcL\">here<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Change at your fingertips Plagued by climate anxiety?
