Corporate SusTalk

What happens when you bring an industry expert into a room full of climate innovators?
A fast-paced, idea-packed conversation that cuts across energy, water, air & cooling, materials, and circularity. 🌱

That’s exactly what unfolded when Ayashkanta Rout from the Oberoi Realty sustainability team sat down with our Mafiosos, founders and operators building real solutions on the ground.

The focus? Moving beyond intent to implementation:
* Decarbonizing and optimizing building operations
* Exploring low-carbon materials across construction
* Tackling C&D waste with upcoming EPR shifts
* And most importantly, what it actually takes to pilot and scale

The reality check was clear:
Quality can’t be compromised...Solutions must scale beyond pilots...Costs need to make sense across segments and value: sustainability, operational, or financial, has to be tangible.

Big shoutout to our Super Mafioso Aalok A. Deshmukh for bringing the right people into the room, this is how future partnerships begin.
