Creduce’s remarkable journey and ambitious plans for 2024 in the climate change landscape: Shailendra Singh Rao
Mumbai: As the world witnesses Bharat’s prowess in the realm of climate change, Creduce has found itself at the forefront of this transformative wave. The year 2023 has been nothing short of exceptional for us. Navigating the uncertainties inherent in the Carbon Credits industry, we discovered new avenues for growth and value creation. This remarkable journey was marked by a doubling of our team, a revenue surge of over ten times, and a steadfast commitment to further expansion. The year became a tapestry of discovery and growth, setting the stage for an even more promising future.
Assessing Performance Against Set Objectives
The year commenced on a high note with the launch of our digital token, propelling us into meaningful collaborations with corporations committed to carbon neutrality. Serving in an advisory capacity for the Government of India’s policy-making process added another layer to our impact. Surpassing set targets, especially in our focus on the NorthEast Region of Bharat, showcased the effectiveness of our strategic initiatives. The alignment of our team objectives with the company’s overall goals has been instrumental in our rapid expansion, bringing in diverse talent to contribute to building a robust climate ecosystem in Bharat.
Key Achievements and Milestones
The pivotal shift towards International Renewable Energy Certificates (IRECs) stands out as our most significant achievement in the past year. On track to become India’s largest IREC trader, this move positively influences the entire global Renewable Energy sector. Additionally, our involvement in the policy-making process positions us as a key private sector stakeholder in India’s Climate Change leadership. Furthering our commitment to diversification and ecosystem creation, we are in the advanced stages of closing investment opportunities, providing a promising start to the upcoming year.
Expectations for Growth and Development in 2024
Looking ahead to 2024, Creduce is poised for unprecedented growth. We are determined to break all previous records and emerge as leaders in trade, service, and delivery within our field. Our ambitious plans extend beyond corporate engagement; we aspire to involve individual citizens in the fight against climate change, fostering a broader understanding and commitment to a green footprint. Geographically, our vision includes expanding our influence globally and making a significant impact on climate change awareness and solutions. As a team and as a nation, 2024 holds the promise of substantial growth and positive change. Creduce is ready to embrace the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
NEW DELHI: Hamdard Laboratories gathered a cross-section of India’s achievers in New Delhi on Friday, handing out the Hakeem Abdul Hameed Excellence Awards to figures who have left their mark across healthcare, education, sport, public service and the arts.
The ceremony, attended by minister of state for defence Sanjay Seth and senior officials from the ministry of Ayush, celebrated individuals whose work blends professional success with a sense of public purpose. It was as much a roll call of achievement as it was a reminder that influence is not measured only in profits or podiums, but in people reached and lives improved.
Among the headline awardees was Alakh Pandey, founder and chief executive of PhysicsWallah, recognised for turning affordable digital learning into a mass movement. On the sporting front, Arjuna Awardee and kabaddi player Sakshi Puniya was honoured for her contribution to the game and for pushing women’s participation onto bigger stages.
The cultural spotlight fell on veteran lyricist and poet Santosh Anand, whose songs have echoed across generations of Hindi cinema. At 97, Anand accepted the honour with characteristic humility, reflecting on a life shaped by perseverance and hope.
Healthcare honours spanned both modern and traditional systems. Manoj N. Nesari was recognised for strengthening Ayurveda’s place in national and global health frameworks. Padma shri Mohammed Abdul Waheed was honoured for his research-backed work in Unani medicine, while padma shri Mohsin Wali received recognition for his long-standing contribution to patient-centred care.
Education and social development also featured prominently. Padma shri Zahir Ishaq Kazi was honoured for decades of work in education, while former Meghalaya superintendent of Police T. C. Chacko was recognised for public service. Goonj founder Anshu Gupta received an award for his dignity-centred rural development initiatives, and the Hunar Shakti Foundation was honoured for empowering women and young girls through skill development.
The Lifetime Achievement Award went to former IAS officer Shailaja Chandra for her long career in public healthcare and governance, particularly in the traditional systems under Ayush.
Speaking at the event, Hamdard chairman Abdul Majeed said the awards were a tribute to those who combine excellence with empathy. “These awardees reflect Hakeem Sahib’s belief that healthcare, education and public service must ultimately serve humanity,” he said.
Minister Seth struck a forward-looking note, saying India’s young population gives the country a unique opportunity to become a global destination for learning, health and wellness by 2047.
The ceremony also featured the trailer launch of Unani Ki Kahaani, an upcoming documentary starring actor Jim Sarbh, set to premiere on Discovery on 11 February.
Instituted in memory of Unani scholar and educationist Hakeem Abdul Hameed, the awards have grown into a national platform that celebrates those building a more inclusive and resilient India. For one evening at least, the spotlight was not just on success, but on service with substance.
