“With privilege comes responsibility and social accountability. I am honoured and inspired by this
opportunity to work with the UN as their first Young Business Champion. The SDGs present a unique
opportunity for industry to participate in India’s growth story for generations to come. Businesses have
the potential to become catalysts and accelerators of sustainable development. Through my work here, I
look forward to amplifying this message amongst all young business leaders, whether employed, or
employers in start-ups themselves,” said Manasi Kirloskar.
A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design in the US, Manasi Kirloskar underwent comprehensive
training at Toyota Kirloskar Motor for three years, developing a close understanding of technical
processes, manufacturing practices, industry-leading quality management systems and business
functions. After that, she shepherded the creation and launch of Toyota Material Handling Private
Limited, a joint venture with Toyota. One of her latest initiatives is a residential complex, with a
commercial project in the planning stages.
After graduation, Manasi Kirloskar’s first project was to set up a 300-bed multi-specialty hospital in a
joint venture arrangement with a Japanese hospital chain. Manasi Kirloskar worked to create the
interiors of the Sakra World Hospital in Bangalore with specialised materials that could build a vibrant
environment and aid the healing process. Manasi Kirloskar is also the Managing Trustee and CEO of
Caring with Colour, a non-profit initiative that promotes classroom learning through the arts and
activities focused on exploration and innovation.
“I am delighted to appoint Manasi Kirloskar as the Young Business Champion for the SDGs in India. She
exemplifies how committed young business leaders can play a significant role in catalysing action for the
SDGs. With her involvement, we can build a deeper understanding of the importance of business in
ensuring a more sustainable planet,” said Yuri Afanasiev, UN Resident Coordinator in India.
The UN in India works closely with the Government of India, elected officials, civil society organisations
and the corporate sector on a range of development issues, in support of the priorities defined by the
government and the SDGs. As part of the UN’s efforts to accelerate growth and achieve the SDGs, the
UN in India launched the UNIBF, a ground-breaking alliance of India’s key economic influencers, aimed
at addressing the country’s most urgent development challenges and unlocking opportunities to
innovate at scale. Since its launch in 2017, the UNIBF has evolved from a dialogue forum into a tangible
partnership. It has helped steer innovative and disruptive partnerships as well as action for the SDGs.
