Lead The Change: The Strategic ESG Certification Program By NDTV And TERI
असतो मा सद्गमय । तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय ।
"Lead us from the unreal to the real. Lead us from darkness to light."
Today, these ancient words echo with urgency. Climate anxieties, social divides, and ethical dilemmas are no longer distant threats - they're the realities we live with every day. And who has the power to shift the course of this story? Businesses. As environmentalist Paul Hawken profoundly stated, "Business is the only mechanism on the planet today powerful enough to produce the changes necessary to reverse global environmental and social degradation." The question is: are you ready to step up and lead that change?
NDTV, TERI (The Energy and Resources Institute) & ZENORA, have united to answer this call. NDTV, a beacon of truth and responsibility in Indian media, and TERI, a global pioneer in sustainability and climate action, have launched the Strategic ESG Certification Program. A 3-month hybrid journey that's more than a course; it's a movement to transform how businesses operate in a world that demands accountability. The program is supported by National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE), an autonomous institution of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India.
What's in It for You?
This 13-week program is designed for action, not just ideas. Here's what you'll gain:
Purpose Meets Practice: Learn to embed ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) into your organization's core. With global frameworks, live case studies, and hands-on labs, you'll turn risks into opportunities and good intentions into measurable impact.
Leadership at Every Level: ESG isn't just for sustainability teams-it's for every decision-maker. When leaders embrace it, it becomes the heartbeat of your business.
Data with Meaning: Transparent KPIs tell your story. Master how to measure and communicate your progress with clarity and credibility.
Collaboration for Impact: Build alliances with NGOs, academia, and peers. Real change thrives on connection, not isolation.
Who's It For?
Tailored for CXOs, board members, ESG/CSR leaders, and policymakers, this program fits the schedules of busy professionals with its flexible, hybrid format. It's your chance to lead with purpose-and see the rewards. Did you know companies with strong ESG performance enjoy a 20% higher valuation, better access to capital, and deeper customer loyalty?

US Pizza Chain Little Caesars Eyes India Expansion With New Stores
New Delhi: U.S. pizza chain Little Caesars is planning to open dozens of stores in India over the coming years aiming to capitalise on the country's robust economic growth, an executive told Reuters. Little Caesars will open its first Indian store in the Delhi NCR region this month. "India is on a growth trajectory ... We don't want to miss this wave," said Carlos Vidal, vice president of international development at the privately held Little Caesars. India's economy is projected to grow at 6.5 per centfor fiscal 2026, maintaining its position as the fastest-growing major economy, according to the International Monetary Fund. Founded in 1959, Little Caesars is the third largest pizza chain in the world, with a presence in more than 29 countries. The Indian pizza market is fiercely competitive, with established players like Domino's Pizza and Yum Brands' Pizza Hut, alongside local chains such as La Pino'z and numerous independent shops. India has proven a challenging market for other major pizza chains. Papa John's, for instance, exited in 2017 due to fierce competition and operational challenges, though it now plans to re-enter the market in 2025. A 100 Little Caesars stores in India by decade-end is a realistic target, Vidal said, adding the brand is "thinking about hundreds and eventually thousands of stores over time." Little Caesars is customizing its menu with vegetarian pizzas to cater to the country's significantly large vegetarian population. It will also introduce flavored crusts-a first for the brand-as plain crusts are often left uneaten by Indian consumers. In addition to India, Little Caesars plans to also focus on Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates and Brazil over the next few years with a view to opening more new stores outside the United States.
