We are building partnerships with external organisations, in India, like Circulate Capital, Alliance to End Plastic Waste, and waste management organisations to find sustainable business solutions. In 2019, we also announced vGROW Environmental Sustainability fund of Rs 200 crore to invest in sustainable solutions with partners and suppliers.”
