India’s looming issues stand at new heights as India’s economy grows nearly in parallel to the country’s social issues. With over 194 million people hungry every day, 35 million people not getting safe drinking water and covered with a thick blanket of 500 million people without good healthcare, there is indeed a requirement to make profound change. The environment alone gets severely impacted both politically and socially due to climate change. AndPurpose understands the problem at hand and is willing to put in the efforts required and align to make a meaningful change following the UN SDGs. The forum will focus on education and agriculture, green energy, healthcare, water accessibility, and sustainability itself along with other innovative and bold designs that help make a positive impact.
With a focus on social and environmental impact, innovation, and collaboration, the AndPurpose Forum set to happen in New Delhi will bring together over 100 participants, ranging from CEOs to impact investors around the country. This interaction will cover a diverse range of stakeholders including big corporate houses, foundations, investment companies, policymakers, think tanks, NGOs, and social startups. In addition, there are keynote speeches, panel discussions, networking sessions, art showcases, and social innovation exhibits which offer a diverse range of opportunities to participate, learn, and take action.
The forum will feature an inspiring keynote address by Sudarshan Suchi, Chief Development Officer of Reliance Foundation, a seasoned expert with over three decades of experience in rural development and community empowerment, setting the stage for impactful discussions. Sumita Ghose, Founder Director of RangSutra Crafts, will be joined by a distinguished panel featuring Shenoy Mathew, Chief Sustainability Officer, and Ramneek Bhatia, Chief Catalyst of Habitat India, who will also moderate the session. The sessions will bring together industry experts such as Subhadeep Sanyal, Partner at Omnivore VC, Shiva Shanker, Partner at Ankur Capital, and Jui Joshi, Senior Partner at Climate Collective Foundation, along with leading specialists in investment and sustainability, making it a power-packed gathering of thought leaders driving change.
Furthermore, For sustainable business models and policy frameworks, journalist and co-founder of People’s Archive of Rural India ‘PARI’ Shalini Singh, and Varaha’s Co-founder & CEO Madhur Jain, alongside GIZ India’s Environmental Policy Expert Vivek J M will share their perspectives. Varun Khera, Head of Partnerships at Josh Talks, will moderate pertinent discussions and key energies, and later on, Byju Kurian, Bisleri’s Head of CSR will tackle sustainability from a corporate level and the market-driven paradigm of social change.
“A decade after the Paris Agreement, the world stands at a crossroads—while over 195 nations committed to limiting global warming, global emissions continue to rise, and extreme weather events are disrupting livelihoods. India, in particular, faces mounting challenges, from water scarcity affecting 35 million people to the healthcare gap impacting over 500 million. The AndPurpose Summit & Forum 2025 is not just about discussions; it is about action. Building India’s Biggest Impact Movement by bringing together policymakers, businesses, and changemakers, we aim to accelerate sustainable solutions and drive systemic change that aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.” — Kamna Hazrati, Founder, AndPurpose.
