Hyderabad: The AndPurpose Forums, a convening platform for sustainability, climate innovation, CSR, impact investing, and social entrepreneurship, hosted its fourth edition at T-Hub here on Saturday.
Bringing together influential voices from government, industry, startups, philanthropy, academia, and the social impact ecosystem, the Forum served as a collaborative platform to exchange ideas, showcase innovations, and build partnerships that can accelerate sustainable development across India.
Speaking on the occasion, Re Sustainability Managing Director & Group CEO, Masood Mallick, said India’s circular economy is no longer a matter of environmental responsibility alone. “It is, at once, an environmental imperative, an economic opportunity, and a strategic necessity – a US $300–400 billion opportunity by 2030 that will shape how we secure our materials, power our industry, and meet our climate commitments,” he said.
AndPurpose Founder Kamna Hazrati said India stands at a defining moment in its sustainability journey, and Telangana has emerged as one of the country’s leading innovation ecosystems – demonstrating how policy, entrepreneurship, technology, and collaboration can drive meaningful change.
More than 200 individuals, including innovators, investors, corporates, policymakers, startups, foundations, CSR professionals, and ecosystem enablers, participated in the one-day forum.
