(1/2) Women today make up 35% of India’s manufacturing workforce, the highest share in over 24 years. Yet, only 18% belong to the organised factor workforce. Even as informal enterprises, subcontracting, and micro-production expand, women remain concentrated in a narrow set of sectors, increasing vulnerability. When one sector slows, they bear a disproportionate share of the risk. This underscores the need for corporates to design for gender inclusion across their value chains. #genderinclusion #genderdiverseworkforce #DEI #diversity #informalworkforce #womenatwork

The Agri-Entrepreneurship & Climate Smart Agriculture Conclave 2026, organised by Syngenta Foundation India (SFI), @AEGFIndia, Global Agri-Entrepreneurship Academy, and @EnvDefenseFund, brought together leaders from government, development organisations, finance, industry, and agri-entrepreneurs working on the ground to explore how entrepreneurship can accelerate climate-smart agriculture and strengthen farmer livelihoods. In his inaugural address, Ramesh Chand, Member, @NITIAayog, highlighted entrepreneurship, innovation, and greater participation, especially by women, as key drivers of agricultural transformation. He called for a shift in mindset: viewing agriculture not merely as subsistence, but as a sector rich with entrepreneurial opportunities across both production and post-harvest value chains. The sessions that followed explored how agri-entrepreneurs can act as last-mile enablers, help scale climate-smart practices, improve market linkages, and build more resilient farming systems. Watch this space for more insights from the discussions that took place. #climateinnovation #climatesmartagriculture #agriculture #sustainableagriculture

On average, Indian women spend 7.2 hours of their time on unpaid labour, twice that of men. Most of that time is spent on their feet, and takes away from time spent on their education, self improvement, with their family, or just to themselves.

#SattvaImpactAssessment | Tell your impact story with data that truly represents every voice. Our Impact Assessment for CSRs bridges the last-mile measurement gap, where distance, literacy, and communication barriers often distort or silence community realities. Through multimodal data collection, we combine visual surveys, voice-recorded testimonials, and trusted community volunteers equipped with offline-enabled tools to capture insights directly from the ground , even in remote geographies. The result? ✔️ Accurate representation of vulnerable populations ✔️ Rich qualitative and quantitative insights ✔️ Data that reflects lived experience, not filtered narratives Because impact isn’t complete until the last mile is heard. Get in touch with a Sattva Impact Assessment expert at getimpactinsights@sattva.co.in to move beyond static impact reports. #datainsights #MandE #impactmeasurement #impactassessment #dataledimpact

Resilient supply chains can serve as a competitive advantage. Organisations that integrate risk management, supplier enablement, and measurable impact across their value chains are better positioned to navigate regulatory and financial uncertainty.

#SustainabilityPriorities2026 | With SEBI’s BRSR Core, the EU’s CBAM (2026), and tightening global due-diligence norms, the next frontier for India Inc. is to build resilient and strategically aligned supply chains. As carbon pricing expands and climate and labour risks intensify, sustainability increasingly needs to move beyond compliance disclosures and be embedded into strategy, capital allocation, and operations.

#SustainablePriorities2026 | In India, SEBI’s BRSR has significantly improved transparency, but most sustainability and ESG conversations stop at disclosure. The shift that needs to happen now is translating this data into decision-grade intelligence that informs capital allocation, enterprise risk, product strategy, and leadership incentives. Companies that integrate sustainability into core business decisions can unlock lower financing costs, strengthen investor confidence, and build more resilient strategies. The next phase for India Inc. lies in embedding sustainability into core business decisions and moving from compliance-led reporting to outcome-linked spending and measurable impact. Swipe to see what this shift looks like in practice. To explore this further, write to us at esg@sattva.co.in #sustainability #ESG #BRSR #sustainablebusiness #inclusivebusiness

Sattva Consulting, under @NITIAayog's e-FAST India initiative, recently convened the eFAST Charging Infrastructure Roundtable in Mumbai on January 28th, bringing together leaders from government, DISCOMs, Logistics service providers, OEMs, charge point operators, and Civil society to collaboratively advance India’s e-freight transition. The discussion surfaced critical interdependencies across the ecosystem, highlighting shared challenges and solution pathways related to grid readiness, corridor bottlenecks, incentives, regulatory clarity, and data gaps. At Sattva, we believe that unlocking climate and development outcomes at scale requires a systems approach with aligned incentives, clear policy signals, and platforms that enable diverse actors to collaborate on system-wide challenges. This roundtable is part of our broader effort to advance policy and ecosystem changes for charging infrastructure that can accelerate e-freight adoption. Through this convening, we aim to move from identifying common challenges to building collective ownership of solutions. We would like to thank all participants for their candour and the depth they brought to the discussions. @Adaniports, Adani TotalEnergies E-Mobility Limited, BLR Logistiks (I) Ltd, @AgBrugg, BSES Yamuna Power Limited, @ZoneCharge, @DP_World, @EIM_India, @HPCL, @TheICCT, @TheICCT_India, @KazamEnergy, @KSEBLtd, @MSEDCL, Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) #efreighttransition #greentransition #eFastChargingInfrastructure #climatesolutions #sustainableoperations

India’s social procurement landscape is rooted in a strong cooperative tradition, yet increasingly shaped by formal, risk-managed corporate sourcing systems. While corporate intent for inclusive procurement and inclusive business models exist, social enterprises still face systemic challenges. This mismatch underscores the need for structured enablement pathways and procurement models that are aligned with supplier-side realities. Our chapter in The State of Social Procurement 2026 explores this opportunity in depth, outlining how social and inclusive procurement can move from intent to mainstream practice in India.
