Indian consumers are ready for green buildings

Insights into consumer demand for green products, especially green building materials and green buildings, are extremely limited in India. This is particularly true for the burgeoning middle-class segment. Through our research, it’s clear that middle-income residents in Tier 1 cities are concerned about environmental quality and already have demand for green buildings and materials. The problem is they are hampered …

Nature as a stakeholder: Building strategies for impact

Nature and the need to revalue natural assets arose as key themes during COP28 with a repeated, critical call for a reassessment of the value of natural capital; and an emphasis on strategic planning for nature as the competition for land use across the verticals of the bioeconomy steps up. This shift in discussion, which adds to and currently sits …

Empowering farmers through decentralised clean energy

India’s renewable energy shift promises decentralisation that challenges the historical inequal concentration of power perpetuated by the fossil fuel economy. While coal and oil have strengthened traditionally commercial strongholds – solar, hydro and biogas offer localised ownership models that provide communities access and self-sufficiency. The energy transition presents a rare window for rectifying energy poverty through distributed and people-centric pathways congruent with India’s cooperative ideals. But how do we ensure a successful, just, outcome?

The need for specialised acceleration to fast-track climate innovations to market

Woman in Yellow At Station Near Speeding Train

Meeting India’s net zero timeline demands promising climate solutions still confined to labs or universities quickly find the investment and guidance required to pilot, scale, and reach mass adoption. Historically, even proven technologies such as solar PV and lithium batteries have taken decades to mature. While investor appetite for sustainable solutions is rising, the lack of performance data keeps many innovations dependent on philanthropic grants. How do we accelerate technological innovation?

Unlocking Capital To Power India’s Energy Transition

Wind turbines on a sunset backdrop

As India seeks to harness renewables to power its net-zero ascent, enabling industries to retrofit infrastructure and adopt clean technologies remains capital-intensive. Prevailing climate financing architecture spotlights inherently “green” domains such as solar and electric mobility, while underserving the decarbonisation needs of carbon-heavy sectors. This skewed allocation threatens to constrain the transition pathways of sectors vital to India’s economy, such …

Illuminating the path to sustainable growth in India

Xynteo’s new report “Accelerating India’s Sustainable Human-Centric Growth,” unveils four powerful archetypes, aligned with India’s G20 vision. These archetypes offer more than theoretical constructs; they provide strategic blueprints for collaborative action between governments, businesses, and communities to materialise a shared vision of low-carbon, inclusive, and participatory growth in line with United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.

A blueprint for business leaders navigating COP28

In less than a week, world leaders, community organisations and NGOs will come together in Dubai to plan for accelerated climate action – and the role of business must be part of the discussion. The Conference of Parties is a unique and intensive process that requires genuine effort and engagement from those attending. It is paramount that business leaders show up at COP28 with a mindset and a preparedness that fosters radical collaboration for positive action – here’s how.

Co-ordinating action for a sustainable built environment

The built environment is the agglomeration of man-made spaces – their structures, parts, and components. These structures provide us our work, recreation, and living spaces, and we can expect global building stock to double by 2050. On the other hand, the built environment is responsible for 40% of global emissions. As we seek to create safe and hospitable places for our growing global population, we must equally reduce their negative impact on the environment.
