In this episode under the Climate Catalysts theme of GET SET GREEN, we explore the hidden environmental impact of buildings, infrastructure, and urban development.

Meet Pranati Shroff Munot from Sustain and Save, working at the intersection of ESG, decarbonisation, and sustainable infrastructure. As cities expand rapidly and businesses increasingly adopt sustainability goals, the built environment has become one of the most important yet overlooked parts of the climate conversation.

Her work focuses on helping organisations and developers understand how sustainability can move beyond certifications and become part of long-term business and infrastructure planning. From green buildings and ESG implementation to lifecycle thinking and decarbonisation strategies, this conversation looks at what it really takes to build climate-conscious systems in a rapidly urbanising world.

We also explore the challenges of balancing sustainability with cost, the growing importance of ESG in business decisions, and whether India’s cities are prepared for a more climate-resilient future.

1. The hidden climate impact of buildings and infrastructure.

2. What actually makes a building Green ?

3. ESG and decarbonisation in Indian businesses.

4. Green building certifications (LEED, IGBC & GRIHA) and climate-conscious development.

5. The future of sustainable cities and infrastructure in India.

In this episode under the System Shapers theme of Get Set Green, we examine the role of legal frameworks in shaping environmental compliance and accountability in India.

We are joined by Parmjit Singh Surjewala, Deputy District Attorney with the Haryana Government and currently serving on deputation as Law Officer with the Haryana State Pollution Control Board. With over 26 years of experience in legal practice, prosecution, and regulatory enforcement, he offers a practitioner’s perspective on the implementation of environmental laws.

This conversation focuses on the practical realities of environmental regulation, compliance, and enforcement, particularly in the context of MSMEs and solid waste management. Drawing from his experience in the field, he shares insights into the challenges of translating legislation into effective action, and the structural gaps that continue to impact enforcement outcomes.

The discussion reflects professional insights shaped by experience within the regulatory ecosystem, offering listeners a grounded understanding of how environmental laws operate in practice.

What we discussed:

1. Awareness of environmental laws and its impact on compliance.
2. Legal and compliance challenges faced by MSMEs.
3. Developments in Solid Waste Management Rules, 2016.

In this episode under the Climate Catalysts theme of Get Set Green, we explore one of the most overlooked aspects of the clean energy transition what happens to batteries after they are used.

We are joined by Anupam Kumar, Founder & CEO of MiniMines, a climate tech startup working on lithium-ion battery recycling and resource recovery. As the world moves rapidly toward electric vehicles and renewable energy, managing battery waste is becoming a critical challenge for sustainability and climate action.

Anupam shares the journey of building Mini Mines and how their innovative Hybrid Hydrometallurgy (HHM) process is helping recover valuable materials like lithium, cobalt, and nickel—turning waste into resources and supporting a circular economy.

This conversation also dives into the realities of scaling battery recycling in India, the role of policy frameworks like Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), and whether recycling can reduce our dependence on traditional mining.

From technology to regulation, this episode looks at how climate tech solutions are shaping the future of energy, mobility, and sustainable resource management.

What we discussed;

1. The journey of building Mini Mines and entering the battery recycling space.

2. How Hybrid Hydrometallurgy (HHM) works in lithium-ion battery recycling?

3. Challenges in scaling battery recycling and building supply chains for waste battery collection?

4. The role of policies and EPR regulations in India.

5. The future of EVs, battery waste, and circular economy solutions.
