Mumbai, December 13, 2025 – The Godrej Enterprises Group announced the third edition of Conscious Collective, a pioneering platform to bring together professionals who can help reimagine a more sustainable future and explore innovative solutions that are healthier and greener for us and our future generations.
The 2025 event, with the theme of “Reclaiming Cool: Beating the Heat Together,” is focused on heat-resilient design, sustainable living, and climate action. It will take place in the erstwhile factory of Interio by Godrej, an example of adaptive reuse in Vikhroli, Mumbai from December 12-14, 2025.
This year’s edition addresses the crucial issue of global warming and the urgent need for us to build more resilience into our blue, green and grey infrastructure. To highlight innovative solutions in biodiversity conservation, built spaces and material science, and to spark meaningful dialogue and action on design, sustainability, and conscious practices among policy makers, entrepreneurs, experts and citizens. GEG leaders, including Chairman and MD, Jamshyd Godrej and Executive Director Nyrika Holkar, will join esteemed experts including the awarding winning French architect, Arthur Mamou Mani, a specialist in Parametric Design, Sonali Rastogi, the founder of Morphogenesis, a globally renowned Indian architectural firm, and Diana Kellogg, another award-winning architect who bridges sustainability, advocacy, and design for social impact to drive meaningful action.
Designed to stimulate ideas and encourage connections, Conscious Collective 2025 will feature thought-provoking performances and immersive experiences by Lake Heckman, a Brooklyn based new media artist exploring the subjectivity of lived experiences through interactive digital forms, theatrical performances of “Go with the Flow” a play for children by children by Akvarious Productions, as well as music by The Strangers Choir and much more.
“Cooling is not merely a scientific challenge, it is a profoundly human one. The rising heat touches our homes, our cities, and the dignity of daily life, especially for those with the fewest means to cope. By bringing together diverse voices, we renew our shared responsibility to protect the fragile balance between nature and progress. Reclaiming cool is ultimately an act of care, care for each other, for our communities, and for the India we cherish.” said Jamshyd Godrej, Chairman & Managing Director, Godrej Enterprises Group.
“Beating the heat requires a shift from reactive fixes to long-term, regenerative solutions. Conscious Collective 2025 convenes experts across policy, architecture, ecology, engineering, and entrepreneurship to explore interventions that combine thermal comfort with reduced resource intensity. Whether through vernacular intelligence, new-age materials, or climate-aware design frameworks. Our focus is on enabling tools and innovations that communities can adopt at scale. Reclaiming cool is an opportunity to reimagine India’s built environment, where every intervention supports comfort, equity, and a lighter planetary footprint.” Nyrika Holkar, Executive Director, Godrej Enterprises Group.
In addition to conversations, installations and workshops, the event also showcases the work of the 2025 Godrej Design Lab Fellows who will showcase their fellowship projects which use design to solve problems and create social impact.
Conscious Collective 2025 is open to the public between December 12-14 who can register on BookMyShow free of cost. Join the movement and explore the schedule: Link
