Curtain Raiser of IBET Expo 2025: A Vision for India’s Green Future, Inspired by Shri Nitin Gadkari ji
GreenioMart was honoured to attend the Curtain Raiser Ceremony of IBET Expo 2025, a defining moment in the journey towards India’s sustainable transformation. The event was marked by the distinguished presence of Shri Nitin Gadkari ji, Hon’ble Minister for Road Transport & Highways, Government of India, who addressed a hall full of industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers with a powerful and visionary keynote speech.
A Call for Innovation and Responsibility in the Green Energy Sector
In his compelling address, Gadkari ji laid a strong emphasis on the pivotal role of startups, MSMEs, and young entrepreneurs in shaping India’s green economy. He passionately encouraged emerging businesses to embrace innovation, sustainable practices, and circular economy models as the future drivers of growth.
“India needs more green startups — not just for economic growth, but for survival. The green energy sector is not just an industry, it’s a movement that every entrepreneur must join,” he said.
He highlighted the huge untapped potential in sectors like compressed biogas, electric mobility, waste-to-energy, biofuels, and rural biomass solutions, urging young minds to innovate in these domains to solve India’s energy and environmental challenges.
Identifying the Gaps in the Indian Economy
Gadkari ji didn’t shy away from pointing out the missing links in India’s current economic framework. He stressed that while India is rich in raw materials and resources, we lack the processing infrastructure, scalable startups, and globally competitive green products that could help us reduce imports and build a self-reliant economy.
“What’s missing is not opportunity, but execution. We must build enterprises that convert India’s raw potential into global green solutions,” he stated.
He also touched on the importance of value addition in agriculture, utilization of agri-waste for bioenergy, and public-private partnerships to accelerate growth and decentralize energy production in rural India.
Inspiration for New-Age Entrepreneurs
For us at GreenioMart, Gadkari ji’s words are a strong validation of our vision — to build a digital-first, sustainable, and inclusive B2B marketplace for the green energy sector.
His encouragement to create new business models, invest in clean technology, and bring green solutions to the grassroots level aligns with our mission of bridging the gap between manufacturers, innovators, and buyers across India.
As we gear up for IBET Expo 2025, we are more motivated than ever to collaborate, amplify, and empower every stakeholder in this ecosystem — from startups and MSMEs to policymakers and researchers.
Let’s Grow Green Together
IBET Expo 2025 is not just an exhibition — it’s a movement towards a cleaner, greener, and economically empowered India. With leaders like Shri Nitin Gadkari ji setting the tone, the future of India’s green economy is not just promising — it’s unstoppable.
