In his new role, Mr. Venu Vinod will work closely, alongside Mr. Srinivasa Murthy, Chairman, IGBC Hyderabad Chapter, with the support from industry stakeholders, policymakers, and the IGBC community to accelerate the adoption of green building practices, promote net-zero concepts, and strengthen Hyderabad’s leadership in sustainable urbanisation. His role will also focus on driving capacity building, knowledge-sharing initiatives, and encouraging wider participation from developers across the region.
As a newly designated Co-Chairman, IGBC Hyderabad Chapter, Mr Venu Vinod, said,
“As the Co-Chairman of the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) Hyderabad Chapter, my priority will be to accelerate the adoption of measurable, high-impact green building practices across the state.

I am committed to contributing towards IGBC’s vision of transforming the built environment and positioning Hyderabad as a leading model for sustainable growth in India.”
