Sustainable Growth Summit 2025: Empowerment, Sustainability & Purpose in Action

Pune, July 27, 2025 — The Sustainable Growth Summit 2025, held at Four Points by Sheraton, Viman Nagar, stood as a powerful celebration of social impact, women's empowerment, sustainable development, and mindful parenting.

Organised by Scholarstree Educare Pvt. Ltd. in collaboration with Sarav Events, Aparajita Foundation, Vedgunn Foundation, Amazing Scholar Kids Preschool & Daycare, and Eduthon, the summit brought together a vibrant community of changemakers, educators, families, and future leaders from across Pune.

In the fifth edition, the summit has evolved into a trusted platform for nurturing leadership, fostering generational awareness, and driving meaningful conversations on sustainability and personal transformation.

“This summit was born from the belief that true sustainability begins with empowered individuals and compassionate communities,” shared Mrs. Shweta Pankaj and Dr. Hc Saravjeet Kirad, lead organisers. “From honouring inspiring women to celebrating the sacred bond between mother and child, we intended to spark a ripple of purpose-driven change. Witnessing its growing impact year after year is incredibly fulfilling.”

Spotlight Highlights:

At the heart of the event was the Aparajita Women of the Year Award 2025, honouring exceptional women for their lasting contributions to society. Adding a soulful dimension was the Mom & Me Show, a moving tribute to generational love, mutual respect, and maternal wisdom.

“Our format is intentionally different,” they added. “It’s not just a stage—it’s a safe space to inspire, heal, and grow. These initiatives empower not only professionals, but also families, educators, and caregivers.”
