Business Today's #IndiaAt100 session featured Adipen Bose Nandhiji, Founder & CEO of CNESS Inc., discussing the concept of Conscious Capitalism and its relevance to India's future. The conversation, moderated by Group Editor Siddharth Zarabi, explored how businesses can balance profitability with social impact. Nandhiji examined ideas of responsible leadership, sustainable growth, and stakeholder value as India moves toward its India @100 vision. The session posed the central question of whether profit and purpose can coexist in corporate strategy.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The #IndiaAt100 series reflects a broader corporate shift in India, where firms like Tata Sons and Infosys have long championed stakeholder capitalism. With India aiming to become a $10 trillion economy by 2047, the tension between quarterly profit targets and long-term social investment is acute. SEBI's business responsibility and sustainability reporting (BRSR) mandate, effective FY23, already pushes listed firms to disclose environmental and social metrics. The real test lies in enforcement: whether voluntary adoption of conscious capitalism can scale beyond flagship companies to MSMEs, which employ over 110 million people. Watch for the next BRSR compliance cycle in August for early signals.
