Hawkerpreneurship is the entrepreneurial pursuits of one who runs a traditional street/hawker food in a modernised and innovative manner. Such a person is called a “Hawkerpreneur”. WOSH.WORLD is a Singapore-based social purpose-driven aggregator with its proprietary Hawkerpreneurship as a Service (HaaS) platform for Street Food businesses and communities worldwide.
In 2021, Kunal advised WOSH.WORLD’s management team on Impact Bonds, leading to him devised for and present to the management team the WOSH.WORLD Hawkerpreneurship Sustainability Bond model for WOSH.WORLD as an impact bond-centric ESG financial mechanism to invest in Hawkerpreneurs in BoP (bottom-of-the-pyramid) communities throughout the world. Kunal designed the sustainability bond model to have envisaged financial returns for WOSH.WORLD and its investors, along with an amalgamation of social and environmental metric outcomes for the invested Hawkerpreneurs.
Soon afterwards, the WOSH.WORLD management team requested Kunal to write an article on the aforementioned sustainability bond, which he devised for them, titled "Sustainability Bonds: ESG Investments for Hawkerpreneurs". In this article, not only did Kunal include an elucidation of the Sustainability Bond model, he also wrote supplementary information on Social Impact Bonds (SIBs) and Green Bonds.
Kunal’s article was later inserted as a chapter (specifically Chapter 1.3 pages 44 - 55) in the book WOSH.WORLD FutureReady, published in January 2022 by the WOSH.WORLD management team. This is a business and economics book constituting of a collation of chapters, written by several authors, focusing on the theme of the history, Mainstream & ESG Investments, wellbeing and current innovations pertaining to the global scene of Entrepreneurial Food Street Vendors, i.e. the 'Hawkerpreneurs'.
Afterwards, the WOSH.WORLD management team and investors requested Kunal to conduct an on-site ESG due diligence inspection and reporting of a Metal Recycling Plant in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, which they were considering as a prospective investment. He carried out this project on their behalf from 2022 to 2023.
