As the festival, with its characteristic flavour, substance, and scale, brought together writers, readers, connoisseurs, influencers, and thinkers, ReNew took the lead in furthering the dialogue on the importance of being energy-conscious and adopting sustainable lifestyles as part of its endeavor to create a direct social impact on youth.

ReNew’s Founder and CEO Sumant Sinha was at the event where he shared his thoughts on issues related to clean energy, sustainability, and climate change, including the global stocktake concluded at COP28, at key panel discussions. A special session spotlighting his book "Fossil Free" delved into the theme of energizing India and accelerating the clean energy transition.
