About
Eco Pravah
EcoPravah is an initiative dedicated to fostering climate technology and social innovations across northern India — home to over 521 million people representing 40% of India’s population. It provides a dynamic platform for young minds to engage with experts, industry leaders, and policymakers in the climate action space. By leveraging technology, entrepreneurship, and policy, EcoPravah aims to drive impactful solutions that address pressing environmental and social challenges.
EcoPravah is a movement — a multi-city climate innovation initiative that has, over the years, enabled value creation for 100+ early-stage climate-tech entrepreneurs through networking, mentorship, and collaboration with investors and industry leaders. EcoPravah builds on this legacy by creating a localized, deeply rooted platform for the eco-sensitive northern states of India.
In 2025, EcoPravah successfully conducted Punjab’s 1st Climate Week (18–22 August 2025), spanning IIT Ropar, IISER Mohali, DCM YES School Ludhiana, a Climate Walk at Sukhna Lake, and a Grand Finale at NABI, Mohali. In 2026, we take this mission to the next level — expanding across three states and an entire month.

Our
From Punjab's 1st Climate Week
India's 1st Climate Month
A month-long, multi-state movement spanning
Punjab • Haryana • Himachal Pradesh • Chandigarh
Building on the success of 2025, EcoPravah 2026 will expand its footprint significantly — evolving from a single-week event in one state to India’s first dedicated Climate Month.
The initiative will traverse three ecologically significant and economically vital states — Punjab, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh — representing the green heartland of northern India, with the Grand Finale and Climate Walk taking place in Chandigarh and Panchkula.
The Grand Finale will be hosted at the newly inaugurated SACC Incubator in Panchkula — a landmark venue that symbolises the region’s commitment to nurturing innovation and entrepreneurship.
