Thank you for having me at FoodTekPack. What stood out this year is the clear shift toward sustainability as a real business opportunity. As a founder working in food-waste upcycling, it’s encouraging to see packaging, processing, and supply-chain players aligned on reducing waste and creating smarter solutions. I’m leaving with ideas we can apply immediately. Great platform, great conversations. Thank you Naresh Khanna sir and the entire team for organizing this important conference! 🙏🏻🙌🏻
