Godrej Enterprises Group launched the 2nd Edition of the Conscious Collective with the theme of ‘Bridging Horizons for a Sustainable Future’. The guests included renowned thought leaders like Pavan Sukhdev, Madhav Pai, Channa Daswatte, Kai-Uwe Bergmann, Ken Yeang, and Chitra Vishwanath. Open to the public on December 14 & 15, 2024, the platform brought together visionaries from architecture, design, and sustainability to ignite dialogue and action aimed at decarbonizing-built spaces and reimagining urban living environments.

Commenting on the event, Jamshyd Godrej, Chairman & Managing Director, Godrej Enterprises Group, said, “India is a rapidly growing and developing country where businesses must be engaged and innovative and align themselves with a socially responsible future. With this platform, we hope to collaborate and empower entrepreneurs, start-ups as well as our customers to unlock new conscious possibilities.”

The platform has been programmed to empower practitioners and individuals across all age groups to embrace a more conscious lifestyle. The lineup included thought-provoking installations, conversations, an immersive experience on the Western Ghats, an anime film festival, and creative workshops for children.

 Nyrika Holkar, Executive Director, Godrej Enterprises Group, stated, “The idea behind Conscious Collective is to build a community where we find solutions that address the pressing needs of global warming by demonstrating better ways to build and use materials that have less impact on the planet. We hope Conscious Collective can be a catalyst to empower us to be more thoughtful in the choices we make, without compromising on quality or value.”
