The foundation believes that by showcasing these exemplary organizations, it can inspire a wider adoption of responsible practices and accelerate India’s journey toward a more sustainable and equitable economy.

The presence of Shri Arjun Meghwal and Smt. Kamaljeet Sehrawat is a testament to the growing alignment between policy and corporate action in India, and we are incredibly honored to have them with us as we celebrate these significant achievements.”
The awards ceremony is expected to be a landmark event, bringing together a distinguished audience of corporate leaders, policymakers, investors, academics, and sustainability experts. It will provide a unique platform for dialogue on the future of ESG in India and the role of corporate entities in addressing global challenges.
