The Crystal Clear Difference: How Krÿstähl is Transforming India’s Social Impact Landscape

Visit Krÿstähl, a brand by the Global Institute for Circular Economy and Sustainable Development Goals (GICE&SDGs). In 2018, when most organisations were still struggling with basic digital adoption, a group of forward-thinking experts led by Dr. Shalini Sharma (Environment Scientist, an ESG Expert) and Mrs. Saraswati Devi (Economist) established an NGO with a vision: digital transformation for positive social impact.

Breaking new ground, Krÿstähl became India’s first organisation to create a digital-circular economy system in 2018, catching the attention of the World Economic Forum, Davos.
