The India CSR & Sustainability Conclave 2025, hosted by BrandsGlobal Media, culminated with resounding success at the India International Centre, New Delhi. The one-day conclave united an inspiring mix of corporate leaders, policy influencers, social activists, and grassroots innovators under the theme “Policy, Purpose, and Progress,” showcasing India’s growing commitment to sustainable development and inclusive growth.
The event was a vibrant platform for dialogue and celebration, reflecting the dynamic ecosystem of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and sustainability initiatives taking root across the nation. The conclave not only underscored the power of collaborative efforts but also highlighted India’s strides towards a greener, more equitable future.
National Recognition and Appreciation
A special highlight of the conclave was a letter of appreciation from Shri Gajendra Singh Shekhawat Ji, Hon’ble Union Minister, which lauded the organizers, participants, and awardees. The letter recognized the conclave as a significant forum fostering dialogue and showcasing impactful CSR and sustainability projects nationwide.
This commendation added to the spirit of the day, reinforcing the importance of collective action in addressing India’s socio-environmental challenges and shaping the nation’s progress trajectory.
A Cultural Tapestry of Art and Advocacy
The conclave seamlessly blended cultural heritage with social messaging, exemplified by an emotive Kathak performance by Akshita Mishra, Associate – CSR & PR at Hindustan Zinc Ltd.

The performance received a standing ovation, setting a tone of authenticity and heartfelt advocacy that permeated the day’s proceedings.
A deeply emotional patriotic performance by Kiddies Foundation on Operation Sindoor touched hearts across the hall. The performance paid tribute to India’s soldiers and had many in the audience moved to tears.
