Ecological Entrepreneurship Festival 2022

In collaboration with The Sagg Eco Village Academy and Mool Sustainability Research & Training Center, Kashmir, we co-hosted the ‘Kashmir Festival for Ecological Entrepreneurship 2022’. In a first-of-its-kind event in India, the event brought together entrepreneurs, ecopreneurs and academicians to share their experiences with students and budding entrepreneurs on building an ecological enterprise.
