I had the privilege of speaking at the Confederation of Indian Industry Karnataka ESG Summit 2024 today, alongside Mr. Vijaykrishnan Venkatesan, who moderated the session excellently, and Mr. Nitesh Mehrotra from EY. Our discussion centered around ESG and leadership, exploring how Indian businesses, particularly SMEs, are increasingly adopting sustainable practices.
While more companies are recognizing the need for sustainability, many SMEs still face challenges in effectively integrating ESG into their business strategies. The reality, however, is clear: ESG is not just a buzzword; it’s a crucial, long-term business imperative that every organization must address.
