- Mayank says, “We thought we should do something about it and we started analysing it deeper. We concluded that enterprises were one of the largest causes for environmental issues, and it was easier to solve the problem at their level than at an individual level.
- We met sustainability heads of several enterprises, and one of them told me that there was no good software to manage sustainability goals and compliance.” This gave birth to Logic Ladder, adds Mayank.
