India2022, a business-led coalition powered by Xynteo, held its first Annual Exchange in Mumbai.

The India2022 Coalition is working on four impact tracks. The energise track, led by Shell and supported by TechnipFMC and GE; waste and sanitation led by Hindustan Unilever; healthcare led by Cyient; and sustainable mining led by Hindalco - Aditya Birla Group.

The energise impact track is focused on energy access, bio-fuels, rural electrification, waste to energy and hybrid systems, aiming to develop and accelerate cleaner and efficient commercial solutions. Within the waste and sanitation track, the coalition is working towards realizing the lost value of plastic packaging: a 100 billion dollar a year opportunity globally. The healthcare track aims to advance medical diagnostics, which are disruptive and affordable, across all demographics. And the ambition for the sustainable mining track is to create a future ready business model and best-in-class sustainable practices.

Thierry Pilenko, Executive Chairman, TechnipFMC, host partner of the Exchange said, "Collaboratively with Shell and GE we are committed to building a sustainable and commercial energy system to accelerate the country's energy transition with innovative and efficient technology solutions: advanced biofuels, waste and plastic to energy."

To further the work in these areas, four studios, hosted by the India2022 partners were convened at the Exchange. Those present worked together with experts, legislators and innovators to incubate ideas for commercial solutions that followed the India2022 impact track themes. The Exchange closed with partners reinforcing their commitment to harness the power of collaboration and accelerate growth by the 75th year of India's independence.
