New Delhi, July 30, 2025 : As climate change challenges continue to mount globally, a new generation of changemakers is emerging—individuals and organizations committed to sustainability and environmental conservation. These pioneering entrepreneurs and innovators are harnessing business and technology to drive positive environmental change across India.
The Times of India presents Ecopreneur Honours 2025, a prestigious platform dedicated to recognizing individuals, startups, and corporations tirelessly working towards shaping a greener tomorrow. This initiative addresses the crucial need for India to accelerate its transition towards sustainable practices and environmental stewardship to meet ambitious net-zero commitments.
“Through Ecopreneur Honours, we aim to recognize individuals and organisations at the forefront of India’s transition to a green future. By honouring these changemakers and amplifying their stories, we want to spark conversations around sustainability and inspire a new generation of conscious entrepreneurs,” said Prasad Sanyal, Business Head, Times of India, Digital.
