Parvinder Kadyan, Managing Director, Aadi Sustainability Solutions and Chairman of the Global Alliance for Textiles Sustainability (GATS), has been named to the Meaningful Business 100 (MB100) for 2025.
The MB100 is a global initiative that recognizes 100 leaders annually who successfully blend profit and purpose to advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The 2025 cohort features innovators from 39 countries who are transforming diverse industries, including circular economy, fashion, and climate tech.
Kadyan was recognized for his efforts in promoting sustainability and circularity with cost neutrality within India’s textile sector. Through GATS and the India Denim Deal Hub, he is uniting recyclers, mills, brands, and policymakers. This collaborative approach aims to prove that circularity can only succeed through collective action across the value chain.
His flagship initiative, Recyclr, is set to establish India’s first EPR-ready, zero-waste denim factory. This facility will feature full traceability and footprint mapping from textile waste all the way to finished jeans. The project serves as a clear model demonstrating how decarbonization can be integrated directly into a viable business case.
Kadyan’s inclusion in the MB100 is a significant moment for India's textile industry, highlighting that the nation is now leading the global movement for sustainable, circular, and equitable fashion, extending its strength beyond just manufacturing volume.
