“My interactions with Terrarium have been very enriching – this is a platform which brings important stakeholders together, very often, to discuss key challenges and opportunities in sustainability. The panels and round tables are very well designed and content carefully curated, discussed, debated, and summarized for the broader audience. This is really helping to form a community of solvers, supporting the growth of the innovation and forging partnerships globally. I personally have benefited a lot from knowing a lot of founders and entrepreneurs who are looking to collaborate with industry leaders. My best wishes to Mridu to make an even bigger impact in climate action.”
