We celebrated 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻’𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆 recognising the incredible women who shape our workplace every day.

At EMC, more than 𝟱𝟬% of our team members are women, and even more inspiring is that over 𝟲𝟱% of our senior team members are women leaders driving impact and change.

We marked the occasion with a 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, where colleagues shared notes celebrating the women who inspire, support, and lead with strength and empathy. The celebration concluded with cake, conversations, and a collective moment of gratitude for the contribution of women across our team.

A reminder that workplaces grow stronger when women lead, support, and uplift each other.

Colours, laughter, and togetherness at EMC!

This Holi, our team came together to celebrate the spirit of joy, positivity, and vibrant energy that makes our workplace special.

Moments like these remind us that beyond work, it’s the people and shared celebrations that truly add colour to our journey.

Wishing everyone a bright and joyful Holi!

As EMC enters its 30th year, we are at a moment of reflection as well as renewal.

We are pleased to share that Ms. Sivaranjani Subramanian will take on the role of Chief Executive Officer of EMC, effective 1 January 2026.

Sivaranjani has been closely associated with EMC’s journey and its evolution over the last decade. She understands the organisation not only through its assignments and outcomes, but through its values, working culture, and long-term ambitions. Her appointment is therefore not a change of direction, but a continuation, with sharper focus and accountability.

Over the past year, EMC has worked through a deliberate Transformation Plan, shaped with guidance from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business under its Stanford Seed Program. The “Stanford Process” forced us to examine who we are, how we create value, and what kind of institution EMC must become in a more demanding sustainability landscape. In this context, Sivaranjani’s appointment as CEO is a natural and necessary part of that journey.

For most of my life, I have been the one holding the chalk — or later, the marker pens. Whether at IIT Bombay, a factory floor in Vietnam, a boardroom in Mumbai, or a workshop in Berlin, I was usually the one explaining, interpreting, or provoking thoughts.

So when I enrolled in the ten-month Stanford Seed Transformation Program, the Professor inside me raised an eyebrow:

“𝐴𝑡 𝑠𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑦? 𝑌𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑖𝑠ℎ 𝑡𝑜 𝑠𝑖𝑡 𝑖𝑛 𝑎 𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑚 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛?”

At Environmental Management Centre Pvt Ltd (𝐄𝐌𝐂), we believe in walking the talk when it comes to sustainability.EMC is currently helping Tisser to develop metrics on 𝐜𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 by processing the data generated at the massive upcycling initiative launched in Navi Mumbai.We were pleased to collaborate with Tisser India to host an insightful session on Upcycling Textile Waste on 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝟓𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭, at our Mumbai office.The session was led by the passionate team at Tisser, who shed light on the environmental impact of textile waste and the powerful role upcycling can play in building a circular economy.For some of us, it was an eye-opening experience, making us rethink the textiles we use every day, and how our habits can shift toward conscious consumption by giving a second life to the used textiles.

A special highlight was the display of beautifully upcycled products, which were also made available for our team members to purchase. It was inspiring to see creativity and sustainability come together!

The session wasn’t just about sharing knowledge but also it sparked conversations, reflection, and commitment among the teams. We also spoke about challenges and barriers to change.
Let’s continue to make mindful choices in our consumption patterns and move to sustainable living.

Environmental Management Centre Pvt Ltd (𝐄𝐌𝐂) is committed to continuous learning and cultivating our workplace culture to build on strong values.

The event held on March 26, 2025, in Mumbai to explore topics such as product circularity and metrics, repair cafés, sustainable fashion, and eco-friendly cricket gear! Eco-friendly cricket gear was certainly an exciting topic to learn about in amachi Mumbai, the capital of the cricket.
