We are proud to share that our CSR initiative, ‘Clear Air’, has been honoured with a ‘Special Recognition’ award for environmental sustainability at the 8th Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Social Impact Summit & Awards 2026, held in Kolkata. This recognition reflects our continued commitment to building a more sustainable and responsible future through impactful, technology-led CSR initiatives.
At the heart of this achievement is our Air Quality Action Forum, a collaborative and action-oriented platform designed to address one of India’s most pressing challenges, air pollution. By bringing together regulators, philanthropic organisations, international development agencies, and industry leaders, the forum aims to identify critical gaps and implement scalable, long-term solutions through structured annual action plans.
The ICC Social Impact Awards celebrate organisations that are driving meaningful change through innovative and inclusive CSR practices. Our ‘Clear Air’ initiative stands as a testament to this vision, leveraging digital solutions to enable better environmental monitoring, efficient implementation, and transparent sustainability reporting.
Our commitment to environmental sustainability is deeply embedded in our larger mission. Since 2017, our Founder & CEO, Vijay Shekhar Sharma, has been associated with global efforts to improve air quality as a Patron for Clean Air with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Through initiatives like the #BreatheLife campaign, he has actively advocated for policy action and citizen awareness to combat air pollution. His association with the Green Digital Finance Alliance Advisory Board further reinforces our belief in the power of fintech-driven innovation to support sustainable development.
Beyond large-scale collaborations, we continue to drive sustainability through everyday innovations, promoting digital payments and e-receipts to reduce paper consumption, encouraging environmentally conscious user behaviour, and supporting initiatives that contribute to reduced carbon footprint and resource conservation.
This recognition is a significant milestone in our ESG journey and reinforces our commitment to creating long-term value for all stakeholders. We believe that true progress lies in balancing innovation with responsibility ensuring that our growth contributes positively to the environment and society.
As we move forward, we remain dedicated to scaling impactful initiatives, strengthening partnerships, and contributing meaningfully to India’s sustainability goals. This honour motivates us to continue building solutions that not only empower millions but also help create a cleaner, healthier future for generations to come.
