India recognizes that energy is at the heart of its success in pursuit of its objective of sustainable growth. While the country faces a critical and complex problem due to its vulnerability to climate change, it also faces a substantial energy trilemma, which includes maintaining a dependable clean energy supply, fair energy access, and environmental protection. 'Changemakers of Tomorrow' aimed to start a conversation on how to solve this trilemma by bringing together the efforts of the government, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and young innovators.
