We’re excited to have been the Goodies Partner for #Parivartan 2.0, an #Urban Resilience Summit organized by the Centre For Global Affairs and Public Policy/CGAPP. This incredible event brought together thought #leaders and #innovators to explore how we can tackle the challenges of #climatechange, #urbanization, and inequality to build resilient cities for the #future. 🌍 At Vera, we believe that #sustainability starts with the choices we make every day. That's why we were proud to gift eco-friendly bamboo bottles and organic coffee to the event’s guests. These small swaps represent our larger mission: helping people make conscious choices that not only benefit them but also the planet. 🌱💧 By replacing single-use plastics with #natural alternatives like bamboo, we’re encouraging everyone to take simple steps toward a greener, more resilient future. With urban populations skyrocketing and the effects of climate change becoming more visible, now is the time to embrace sustainable living—starting with the products we use. It was an honor to be part of an event that shares our #vision for a world where #sustainability is at the core of urban life. From our bamboo cutlery sets to reusable bottles, we’re committed to offering eco-friendly solutions that make it easy to reduce waste and live mindfully. Together, we can create cities that thrive with nature, not against it. 💚 #Parivartan2024 #GreenEvent #Sustainability #Parivartan2024 #Incubators #Entrepreneurship #eventsindelhi #startupsevents #complianceforstartups #imfactfulsolutions #urbandevelopment #startupnews #greentech India Accelerator, The Sustainability Mafia ,WeIncubate, The Climate Reality Project, LongStraw Carbon, The Climate Reality Project - India & South Asia, Indian Youth Climate Network, Pinaca India, SAMVEDANAM Consulting and Learning Solutions Private Limited, StartupNews.fyi , Brigade Real Estate Accelerator Program (REAP) , Amwoodo, T-Hub, IA Impact Labs, Fitsol, PINDAAR Management Services, India Juris, News With Navya (Fact Forth) , Anindya Sengupta, Jasmine Kaur, Shantanu Pratap Singh, Sonu Bajaj, Abhishek Chauhan, Innoscale Global Foundation
