ForthFocus Founder and Director V Gautham Navada will be speaking at an upcoming international conference hosted by Mount Carmel Autonomous College, Bengaluru, scheduled to take place on March 12 and 13.
The conference, titled “People, Planet and Profit: The New Paradigm of Sustainable Commerce,” will bring together academicians, researchers, industry experts, and business leaders to explore the evolving relationship between profitability, sustainability, and responsible commerce.
The two-day event will feature keynote sessions, technical presentations, and panel discussions covering themes such as sustainable business models, circular economy practices, climate investing, and corporate social responsibility.
Profit With Purpose: Rethinking Business Growth
As part of Technical Session 2, V Gautham Navada will deliver a talk titled “Profit with purpose: Sustainable Growth in Business.”
The session will focus on how modern businesses can pursue profitability while integrating environmental responsibility and social impact into long-term business strategy.
In recent years, companies across industries have been increasingly expected to go beyond financial performance and consider their environmental and social footprint. Sustainable growth is no longer viewed as a secondary goal but as a fundamental component of responsible and future-ready business practices.
Speaking about the conference and the relevance of the topic, Navada said:
“In today’s business landscape, profitability alone is no longer the sole measure of success. Organizations must align financial growth with environmental responsibility and social accountability. Sustainable growth requires businesses to adopt responsible and forward-thinking practices.”
Bringing Industry Perspective to Academic Platforms
The conference will also feature participation from global organizations and industry leaders, including professionals associated with Volvo Group and Deloitte, alongside academicians and sustainability researchers.
Events like these play an important role in building meaningful dialogue between academia and industry, helping students and professionals understand how sustainability principles are being applied in real-world business environments.
Such interactions often provide valuable insights into how organizations can balance economic growth with environmental and social responsibility.
