Bengaluru, India – January 7, 2025

Infosys (NSE, BSE, NYSE: INFY), a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, today jointly convened the inaugural BioConserve Summit 2025, with the Indian Institute for Human Settlements (IIHS), India’s national knowledge institution committed to its urban transformation. This event, held at the Infosys Bengaluru campus, brought together diverse stakeholders, including individuals representing academic and research institutions, architectural firms, NGOs, corporates, and government bodies, to co-create biodiversity conservation strategies for urban spaces and campuses.

Biodiversity preservation requires urgent collective action. The BioConserve Summit 2025 served as a collaborative platform for knowledge sharing among experts from academia, research, government bodies, and industry. The discussions ranged from the critical issue of biodiversity loss to land sharing approaches, ecological restoration planning, urban biodiversity integration, campus sustainability, among other similar topics. Recognizing the significant role of large urban campuses in supporting biodiversity, the summit explored how these spaces can be designed, managed, and utilized for conserving ecosystems and supporting sustainable environments through innovative solutions and collaborative action.

Nandan Nilekani, Co-founder and Chairman, Infosys, said, “Sustainability is a shared responsibility, and addressing it requires collaboration across industries and sectors. The BioConserve Summit 2025 is a call to action to preserve and protect our planet's natural wealth while redefining how we approach urban expansion. It serves as a critical platform for uniting visionaries, urban planners, policymakers, and environmental experts to address the urgent challenges facing our ecosystems. Infosys, with a long-standing commitment to environmental stewardship, is delighted to host this platform with IIHS, and we look forward to fostering partnerships that drive meaningful change.”

Aromar Revi, Founding Director of IIHS, said, “Urban areas are emerging as critical spaces for biodiversity action and nature-based solutions to address the climate crisis. The BioConserve Summit 2025 provides an opportunity for institutions, corporates, and policymakers to concretely enhance biodiversity conservation and restoration – addressing one of the world's most pressing challenges, from the local to global scale. We are glad to partner with Infosys to unlock innovative solutions to transform urban landscapes into sustainable ecosystems.”
