His focus is on solutions for China and India - how to identify them, the importance of cost, scaling, and carbon trajectory, and the policy prescriptions that can help drive innovation.  Vinod Khosla was a co-founder of Daisy Systems and founding Chief Executive Officer of Sun Microsystems. In 2004, driven by the need for flexibility and a desire to take on both "for profit" and for "social impact" ventures, he formed Khosla Ventures.
