"Meet me after class”; "Pin drop silence!” – Who else got chills from these? 😅 The serious moments that once made us nervous now fill us with nostalgia. Looking back, we realize: the best part of life is learning. And teachers? They come in many forms—professors, colleagues, even random strangers. This Teacher's Day, let’s celebrate all the mentors who shaped us. From the classroom to the workplace, they've left an impact. Send them a note, a message, or even just a thought. Keep their wisdom alive, because learning never stops. #TeachersDay2024 #Gratitude #LifelongMentors #AlwaysLearning #ThankYouTeachers #CelebrateMentorship #SaintGobain #MakingtheWorldABetterHome

#TheButterflyEffect Imagine standing in a garden, watching a butterfly delicately fluttering, it seems simple, serene, yet beneath those fragile wings lies a powerful story of survival, connection, and the intricate web of life. This was the essence of our recent talk on butterfly microhabitats and their surprising impact on our #ecosystem by Dr.Murugavel T The speaker began by inviting us to view nature as a living laboratory, a place where every interaction, no matter how small, contributes to a larger, interconnected system. We were introduced to the #Monarchbutterfly, a species that undertakes one of the most remarkable migrations on Earth. But what sparked the attention, was the way scientists track these butterflies: by attaching tiny, #lightweight sensor tracking. It was startling to know about the Colony collapse disorder and the correlation with a Cli-Fi story that added a "fiery" twist in the tale. We shared our individual experience with nature and resonated with the thoughts of creating living laboratories. This made us take a different lens on our living and deep-rooted the idea of scientific solutions for observing nature. Kumaresan T. #SustainabilityTalk #MakingtheWorldABetterHome #ThrivingEcosystem

This report dives deep into how we can #decarbonize our buildings and make sustainability the new standard. We didn’t just discuss the challenges—we connected with industry leaders, exchanged ideas, and set the stage for future #collaborations aimed at reducing our carbon footprint. Curious to know more?

It provides a detailed analysis of current LCA practices, standards, and frameworks followed globally as well as in India for buildings’ life cycle energy and emission analysis. The report offers a crucial understanding of the impact of different system boundaries, embodied carbon datasets, life cycle stages, and functional units. It serves as a critical resource for stakeholders in the construction and regulation of India’s building sector.

Accelerating Growth through #Collaboration In the ever-evolving world of construction, #Innovation is the foundation for a #SustainableFuture and at Saint-Gobain, we create it. Last week, our #OpenInnovationFinale coordinated by NOVA by Saint-Gobain marked a turning point, where the spark of creativity met the grind of real-world challenges. 10 months, 6 #Startups, 1 goal—redefining the way we build. These visionary startups partnered with our research teams, and together, they transformed ideas into action, presenting six Proof of Concept (PoC) projects that push the boundaries for the future of light and sustainable construction. These collaborations go much beyond #AcceleratingInnovation – it roars that we’re making the world a better home. Our business heads participated, not just as observers, but as catalysts, providing deep insights and valuable direction needed to scale-up these PoCs. New use-cases were uncovered, and the potential for growth was amplified. A movement towards a future where collaboration is wind, and innovation is water. Why does this matter? Because in a world driven by rapid change, those who innovate don’t just survive—they thrive. And at Saint-Gobain, we’re all about thriving.

Two Whole Days of Electrifying Energy at #SGRIndia! Our newest management trainees from Saint-Gobain India Private Limited - Glass Business—straight from campus—turned our #InductionProgram into an unforgettable journey of discovery. Their fresh mind and curiosity filled the space with more questions – sharp, insightful, and sometimes, downright challenging. Over two days, we introduced them to our labs, innovative teams, and groundbreaking processes. We witnessed a vibrant exchange of ideas, debates that sparked new thoughts, and an atmosphere so charged that it felt surreal to see how quickly they grasped the depth of what we do here at Saint-Gobain Research India. Being the #Innovation centre for India, this space is not just for R&D people but for anyone within Saint-Gobain to thrive on novelty.
