Dear Colleagues,
We are happy to share yet another colorful issue of GVK WORLD for your reading
pleasure.
As you are all aware, sustainability is becoming the mantra today in all walks of life.
And as a socially responsible corporate, we have always been at the forefront for
implementing and propagating sustainability practices at GVK CSIA whereby we have
leveraged the latest energy-efficient technologies and ensured their optimization. In
this issue, we are highlighting the many sustainability practices implemented that
include initiatives such as Green Building Certification, Carbon management, Airport
Carbon Accreditation, Carbon Accounting and Management System, GREENCO Gold
Certification, Solar power and monitoring and managing of noise to reduce impact etc.
The Global Business Report has featured an interview with Mr G V Sanjay Reddy, Vice
Chairman, GVK which we are reproducing in this issue for your ready perusal.
Our Jaya He GVK New Museum team at GVK CSIA celebrated World Tourism Day by
launching an amazing experience of Indian Art and culture for all interested travelers.
Do read more about it in the following pages.
GVK ONE Mall was bestowed with a Shopping Centre of the Year Award by two

GVK EMRI was also amongst the awards, winning the Best Ambulance Service of the
Year award, along with two more accolades that its Meghalaya Unit received from the
State Administration for its efforts towards selflessly serving the people in the state.
