As aptly said by Masood Mallick, Managing Director & Group CEO, Re Sustainability India’s circular economy is no longer a matter of environmental responsibility alone. It is, at once, an environmental imperative, an economic opportunity, and a strategic necessity – a US $300–400 billion opportunity by 2030 that will shape how we secure our materials, power our industry, and meet our climate commitments.

The Forum's panel discussions are intentionally curated to bring together diverse viewpoints, encouraging practical conversations that bridge policy, innovation, finance, technology, and community-led action.Beyond thought leadership, AndPurpose continues to strengthen its role as a platform that connects innovators with investors, corporates with implementation partners, and changemakers with the wider ecosystem - enabling collaborations that extend well beyond the event itself. Today, the AndPurpose community has grown into a network of 1,600+ members across India and internationally, united by a shared commitment to building a more sustainable, equitable, and resilient future.
