Amit Badlani earns green glory from Gujarat CM
MUMBAI: Turning industrial progress into a green revolution, Amit Badlani has been honoured by Gujarat’s chief minister Bhupendra Patel for his remarkable contributions to sustainability.
Vihaan Clean & Green Tech and Go Green Mechanisms Pvt. Ltd. managing director Amit Badlani has spent 17 years championing eco-friendly industrial practices. Under his leadership, Vihaan Clean & Green Tech, a Hyfun Foods subsidiary, has set new standards with world-class Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs) and Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) systems, combining efficiency with environmental responsibility.
The accolade also celebrates the company’s community initiatives, from afforestation drives to sustainable infrastructure projects. Earlier this year, Vihaan planted 400 trees in collaboration with the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) for World Environment Day, earning praise for its tangible impact on local ecosystems.
“This honour is a collective achievement, it belongs to every engineer, operator, and visionary who believes in building industries that coexist responsibly with nature,” said Badlani. “At Vihaan, sustainability isn’t a goal but a practice. Every project brings us closer to a cleaner tomorrow, where progress and preservation go hand in hand.”
The award ceremony, attended by senior officials including minister of state Harsh Sanghvi, highlighted Badlani’s leadership in sustainable industrialisation, aligning with India’s Vision 2070 for net-zero emissions.
Vihaan Clean & Green Tech continues to redefine industrial environmental management. Its CETP behind Fanidhar Mega Food Park in Mehsana, Gujarat, is among India’s largest and most advanced, treating 10 MLD of wastewater and recycling it to IS 10500 drinking water standards, a model of green innovation that proves eco-conscious growth is not just possible, but profitable.

Birla Opus unveils ‘Dil Aise Eid Manaye’ digital film
New campaign celebrates family reunion and home transformation for Eid.
MUMBAI: Birla Opus just painted Eid with heart because when the family arrives, even the walls start smiling wider. Birla Opus Paints, the decorative paints brand from Aditya Birla Group’s Grasim Industries, has launched its new digital film ‘Dil Aise Eid Manaye’ ahead of Eid celebrations. Rooted in the brand’s philosophy of Duniya Ko Rang Do, the campaign captures how colours, homes and relationships come alive when families reunite under one roof during the festival.
The film tells the touching story of a young boy initially upset as his home is repainted and rearranged to welcome extended family for Eid. As cousins arrive, the house fills with laughter, shared moments and an impromptu cricket match, turning what felt like disruption into pure delight. The narrative shows how festivities grow louder, warmer and more meaningful when shared, with freshly painted walls quietly becoming the perfect canvas for joy.
Birla Opus Paints head of marketing Inderpreet Singh said, “Eid is a festival that celebrates unity, gratitude and the joy of being surrounded by loved ones. With ‘Dil Aise Eid Manaye’, we wanted to tell a story that resonates with families across India and highlights how beautiful walls uplift the festive spirit.”
Leo India chief creative officer Sachin Kamble added, “This film beautifully captures how a young boy comes to realise that no celebration is ever truly complete without the people we love. It’s in these shared moments of togetherness, warmth, and connection that celebrations find their true meaning.”
Conceptualised by Leo India, the film will run across Youtube, Instagram, Facebook and other social platforms. In a festival where colours dissolve boundaries and emotions rise, Birla Opus isn’t just colouring walls, it’s quietly reminding us that the best shade of home is the one painted with people we love.
