At precisely 9:09 tomorrow morning (14 October), The Westin Mumbai Powai Lake will come alive with the hum of printers, packagers, and planet-minded leaders gathering for the PrintWeek Breakfast Briefing, a 99-minute knowledge exchange where sustainability takes centre stage.
The session will bring together CEOs from companies shortlisted for the Green Company of the Year at the PrintWeek Awards 2025, along with winners from other categories. The focus is on how India’s most forward-thinking print and packaging firms are turning sustainability pledges into measurable factory-floor progress.
“The idea is to move beyond lip service and talk about what really works,” explains Noel D’Cunha, managing editor of PrintWeek and WhatPackaging?. “We want to build a voice for the industry by sharing real case studies, real numbers, and real actions. The breakfast briefing is about peer learning, with CEOs exchanging what is succeeding, what is painful, and where the next green leap will come from.”
The round-table will feature Ankit Tanna, Printmann Group; Anil Namugade, founder - director India and UAE, Trigon Digipack; Ayush Khetan, Khetan Corrucase; Kuldip Goel, Any Graphics; Manu Choudhury, CDC Printers; Nirav Shah, Letra Graphix; Naveen Rodrigues, Brilliant Printers; Rajesh Voruganti, ITC Packaging and Printing Business; Venu Sreedhar, Multivista Global; and Vishwamdev Bhotica, SARC, discussing themes that are shaping the sector’s environmental playbook such as energy efficiency, water stewardship, and advanced waste management.
Delgates: Ashok Narayan, Pidilite Industries; Bharti Garg and Taruna Garg from NBG Printographic; Durai Babu Sreenivasan, Pidilite Industries; Gurjit S Dhingra, Canon India; Kamakshi Christopher, DIC India; Manish Bhatia, DIC India; Prashant Chavan, Heidelberg India; Ramakant Patne, Siegwerk India; Supriya Srivastava, Siegwerk India; Sajith Pallippuram, Bindwel; Selvin Chinnaiah, Bindwel; Sruti Sajith, Bindwel; Shrikant Keny and Sanjay Sawant fom Kurz India; Upendra Rajadnya from Heidelberg India; Varad Deshpande from Pratham Technologies
The participants will also explore the economics of sustainability, from project costs to returns on green investments and exchange notes on certifications, audits, and the consultants leading India’s new generation of eco-smart plants.
In a world where environmental compliance is becoming as complex as supply chains themselves, the attendees will agree that collective intelligence is key. From solar projects to emission reduction initiatives, each example is expected to bring the discussion closer to one shared mission of building factories that are both profitable and planet positive.
As D’Cunha sums it up, “The industry has the ingenuity. What it needs now is continuity, to keep the green conversation alive long after the coffee cups are cleared.”
This year’s PrintWeek Awards Celebration is not just about trophies. With its trio of knowledge sessions and a deeper sustainability focus, the idea is to create a think tank for a cleaner, smarter print industry.
