At the India Habitat Centre, New Delhi, in collaboration with Chase India and JGBS, IPF convened a roundtable on building India’s circular economy, with a focus on e-waste. Experts from NITI Aayog, the Ministry of Electronics & IT, and the International Council for Circular Economy participated. What stood out was the urgency in the room: the recognition that electronic waste is not just a regulatory issue but a generational challenge. Students left with the sense that policy is most alive when it responds to environmental realities.
