It does not end at the factory gate but extends across the entire lifecycle of the product.” Emphasising design-led sustainability in manufacturing, Ms Shradha Suri Marwah, Chairperson & Managing Director, Subros Ltd, said, “Sustainability begins at the drawing board and must remain a consistent narrative across the value chain. From green raw materials to reusable byproducts, adhering to evolving standards is key to responsible manufacturing.” Focusing on circularity in industrial operations, Mr K K Sharma, Whole Time Director – EHS, DCM Shriram Ltd, said, “Circularity is key in manufacturing, where byproducts of one process become inputs for another to minimise waste. Sustainability is no longer optional and must be embedded in all activities.” #CII4NR #CIIARM2026 #Sustainability #ClimateAction #ESG @CIIEvents

Along with policy creation, strong execution is essential to help young innovators grow and succeed.” Highlighting the role of skilling and digital access in inclusive growth, Mr Thomas Muthoot John, Executive Director, Muthoot Microfin Ltd, said, “Skilling is vital for youth in tier 2 and 3 cities where infrastructure exists but access remains limited. A digitally enabled education system can help them apply their skills effectively, while overcoming the fear of failure to drive innovation.” Underscoring youth potential in emerging regions, Mr Prithish Chowdhary, Deputy Managing Director, Titagarh Rail Systems Ltd, said, “Tier 2 cities have youth with the hunger to prove themselves, and identifying this talent is essential.

Embracing technology can help us leapfrog stages of development and unlock opportunities across regions.” Emphasising community participation in conservation-led growth, Dr S P Yadav, Director General, International Big Cat Alliance (IBCA), said, “Invoking local communities is extremely important as they bear the brunt of conservation restrictions.
