Pune-based Prachi Shevgaonkar has been shortlisted to attend the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP27, which starts from November 6 in Egypt.

The others selected for the conference from India are Nikhilkumar Panchal from Ahmedabad as well as Elizabth Eapen from Pathanamthitta and Suhana R H from Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala.

Panchal (24) is a founder of the start-up ‘Green Aadhar’, a digital infrastructure for plastic waste management sector. Suhana R H has initiated waste management at Karimadom slum in Thiruvananthapuram.
