He has spent most of his research living with the Paniya, a marginalised indigenous group in India, who were slaves until quite recently. It is here that he fully developed his social and ethical foundations and nurtured a deep appreciation for the innovation and resilience of humans all over the world.Monty runs a social enterprise 'Habitus' to make the world a better place, and families and communities are at the heart of that. As such, he uses the profits made from corporate clients and private schools to help Habitus deliver cutting edge, research inspired, socially inclusive programs to public schools and marginalised communities in need.
