This ripple effect fosters a larger ecosystem of sustainable businesses, redefining success to include positive contributions to environmental and social well-being alongside profitability.

These entrepreneurs redefine success by integrating their principles into their ventures, striking a balance between profit and meaningful environmental and social impact, he said.

Suscom

These values are rooted in a blend of influences, such as family upbringing, sustainability-focused education, and early career experiences with non-profits advocating for environmental and social causes, say sources from IIM Lucknow.

Collaborative partnerships: Working with like-minded stakeholders.

Innovative strategies: Developing creative, low-tech production methods that minimise energy consumption and environmental impact.
