Climate change is no longer a futurepossibility; it is a present reality that isimpacting communities, markets andecosystems throughout India. With itseconomy now at US$3.9 trillion, Indiais pursuing a bold vision to grow intoa US$32.4 trillion economy by the year2047, guided by the goals of Viksit Bharat.Achieving this goal will require investmentsin infrastructure, technology and socialsystems. This large-scale build-out isestimated to generate 5 million new jobsby 2030 and could unlock US$3.5–4 trillionin yearly economic output, acceleratingIndia’s transition towards a more inclusiveand climate-resilient economy. Yet ourgrowth pathway cannot replicate thecarbon-intensive trajectories of developedeconomies. India is at a pivotal momentto“bend the curve”and chart a model ofprogress that is both climate-resilientand balances economic ambition withenvironmental stewardship. India’s strength also lies in designingpopulation-scale systems that combineinnovation, inclusion and efficiency. Usinginteroperable digital infrastructure, data-driven systems and AI-enabled solutionscan break silos, reduce costs andaccelerate coordinated, evidence-basedclimate action across sectors. This report is intended to guide thosevery conversations. By drawing togetherdata, insights and best practices fromacross sectors, it seeks to provide ashared evidence base to shape India’spath forward. Our hope is that it will sparkcollaboration, inform strategic choicesand inspire leadership, helping India provethat climate resilience and economictransformation can advance hand in hand. For India’s corporate sector, this momentcalls for growth that goes beyond businessperformance, towards a model of resilientgrowth that places risk awareness,adaptive planning and social inclusionat its core. Businesses must deepen riskmodelling to craft robust adaptation This is an economic opportunity anda social responsibility. By embeddingadaptation and resilience into every stageof planning and investment, India candemonstrate that large-scale developmentand ecological stewardship are mutuallyreinforcing pillars of sustainableprosperity.

We cannot continue to look atsustainability and climate action in termsof a separate, siloed bucket different fromthe core of our businesses or activities - wehave to solve the trade-offs we make inthose ground up and design up. The actionneeds to be imagined in terms of sourcing,materials, how we view the product mixand lifecycles, and how hard we driveefficiency across the spectrum. We needto embrace the idea of resilience as a corefocus rather than the singular metric ofgrowth that ignores the clear and presentrisks to not just the upside, but the veryexistence of many businesses. It was alsoalarming that many central banks acrossthe world, numerous actuaries and otherrisk managers are already chasing a better There is a growing awareness of the deepinterconnections that span geographies,industries and domains. Yet, in therelentless pursuit of efficiency and growth,focus has narrowed to such an extent thatthe broader picture is often overlooked.Many risks now lie hidden in the linksthat have faded from view, especially asspecialisation continues to increase. understanding of this. Still, in mainstreambusiness planning and operations, as wellas in the investment world, this is notyet a significant consideration, except inpockets. The last few years have brought the climateand planetary crisis to every doorstep.Every region, every country, every industryand every part of the economy has felt itsimpact in some way. More recently, we justcrossed the seventh of the nine planetaryboundaries that scientists have beentracking. The need for urgency in climateaction and in limiting and recovering fromthe damage caused cannot be emphasizedenough.
