At Rajapalayam Young Entrepreneurs Club (RYEC), we believe in meaningful interactions that inspire growth and community connection. On 18th July 2024, our Close Circle (CC) members had the special opportunity to meet Smt. P.V.Nirmala Raju, Chairperson of Ramco Community Services, over an insightful coffee conversation.



A Meet Beyond Business Cards

The session was not a typical formal meeting—it was an intimate and enriching discussion where CC members shared about their businesses, aspirations, and entrepreneurial journeys. From manufacturing to services, each member introduced their venture, giving Smt. Nirmala Raju a glimpse into the diverse talents thriving in Rajapalayam.



Learning About Carbon Neutral Rajapalayam

In return, Smt. Nirmala Raju shared the inspiring vision behind Carbon Neutral Rajapalayam (CNR), a significant initiative of Ramco Community Services. She elaborated on:

• The mission to make Rajapalayam an environmentally responsible and sustainable town.
• How CNR, as a Project Management Unit (PMU) of Ramco Community Services, is working towards carbon footprint reduction, waste management, and community-driven eco-friendly practices.
• Opportunities for local entrepreneurs to align their businesses with sustainable practices and contribute to a greener future.



Why This Meeting Was Special

This was not just another networking event. It was a genuine exchange of ideas between future-focused entrepreneurs and a visionary leader dedicated to community welfare. For RYEC Close Circle members, it was an eye-opening session on how business growth and environmental responsibility can go hand-in-hand.
