“Sustainability is no longer a choice, it's a necessity for India's future,” emphasizes Samir Shah, Managing Partner at Peak Sustainability Ventures. “Sustainability will be a key part of India’s story over the next decade, especially as India starts to play a more central role in the global sustainability landscape and in helping the world achieve its sustainable development goals. At an industry level, climate is one of the fastest-growing verticals within venture capital. The time for India to put sustainability at the forefront is here and now, and the climate pavilion will serve as a catalyst for furthering the conversation on India’s energy transition and sustainability journey.”
During the 3-day mega event attendees can look forward to:
- Panel Discussions and Fireside Conversations with climate leaders in the field, including IFC, Dalmia Cement, Godrej, NTPC, Arvind, Peak Sustainability Ventures, amongst others
- Pitch Sessions where founders will be pitching to key investors and stakeholders
- 1:1 Mentorship Sessions for current and aspiring founders
- Water Workshop hosted by Water.Org

The pavilion will also serve as a networking hub for current and aspiring entrepreneurs with a chance to engage with pioneers and sustainability innovators such as Ather Energy, Waaree Energies, Nepra, Global Initiative for a Sustainable Tomorrow, Exponent Energy, Indra Water, and Varaha among many others, and gain valuable insights into solving India’s climate challenges.
