      “A crucial component of sustainable growth needs to be the India stack for sustainability. A technology-first and sustainability-ready digital infrastructure that helps manage ecosystems, energy needs, waste, and water resources. India can use its strengths in technology and an intrinsic understanding of digital innovation and circularity to show what a sustainability-first economy really looks like. Artificial intelligence and different tenets of sustainability can both be harnessed for a greener and yet more prosperous India.”

      Central banks across the world are looking at embedding climate risk guidelines into financial frameworks. RBI came up with the draft guidelines for India last year. This has been followed up by the climate finance taxonomy, greenwashing guidelines, and carbon credit scheme. It's a realisation that there are massive risks are ahead of us unless we act with speed and at scale.

      The global economic paradigm is changing as companies are under tremendous pressure from people across the world to account for the social impact of their businesses. Moreover, endless growth with profit as the sole metric is no longer sustainable. The consequences of social and environmental imbalance are mostly seen in the long term. If allowed to go unchecked, the disruption caused may cause a significant dip in growth and corporate valuations.
