FLO Amritsar, under the leadership of Chairperson Ms. Tannya Khanna, successfully organized the “Earth Day – Industry & Sustainability Dialogue” on 22nd April 2026 at HSBC Bank, bringing together industry leaders, sustainability advocates, educators, and community stakeholders to promote environmentally responsible practices and conscious leadership. The event was led by Tannya Khanna, Chairperson of FLO Amritsar, under the Industry Pillar of Green Tech & Circular Economy, with a strong focus on MSME & Export and Policy & Advocacy enablers.
The session featured insightful discussions by renowned speakers Sachin Khanna and Yuvraj Singh Ahuja. Sachin Khanna highlighted sustainable manufacturing practices, textile recycling, and the implementation of Zero Liquid Discharge initiatives that contribute towards reducing industrial waste and environmental impact. Yuvraj Singh Ahuja, Founder of Sereno and Flood Barriers India, shared innovative approaches to waste recycling, climate resilience, and infrastructure protection through sustainable solutions.
The event was thoughtfully moderated by Sonal Singh, India’s first certified ADHD Coach, who emphasized the importance of mindful and responsible leadership in driving long-term environmental change. One of the major highlights of the event was the launch of the “No Plastic” campaign, aimed at encouraging sustainable lifestyle practices within the community.
As part of this initiative, 250 cloth bags made by underprivileged girls were distributed to vegetable vendors, promoting both environmental awareness and livelihood support. An additional distribution of 2000 cloth bags has also been planned to further strengthen the campaign’s impact.
The dialogue focused on circular economy models, waste-to-product innovation, sustainable industrial practices, and community-led environmental responsibility. The initiative also extended its outreach to educational institutions, including Excelsum High School, The Senior Study School, Jagan Jyoti School, and Guru Nanak Dev University, collectively impacting thousands of students and encouraging youth participation in sustainability efforts.
