From Corner Offices to Open-Air Murals

A morning inside KPMG’s sustainability playbook, an evening chasing the sunset through Delhi’s Lodhi art district.

Today is July 10th, 2026. In the morning we visited one of the Indian headquarters of KPMG, crossing out of New Delhi into a neighbouring state. Inside, we learned how they are trying to be as sustainable as they possibly can — from funding school clubs to implementing sustainable architectural designs. Then we had a collaborative seminar with the CEO, Yezdi Nagporewalla, on paving paths to becoming global leaders.

After a delicious lunch we were divided into smaller groups, each led by a KPMG representative. These guided tours let us peek into the company’s workplace culture and sustainability practices, including resource-efficient initiatives like recycled paper products — proof that even small operational choices can contribute to a more sustainable future.

One of the most inspiring aspects was witnessing KPMG’s strong commitment to environmental sustainability, transparency and accountability. The office was thoughtfully designed with abundant greenery, creating a healthier, more eco-friendly workspace. — Ziya

In the evening, Mobi guided us through another historical site: the first open-air art museum of India. We accompanied the sunset as we strolled through Delhi, witnessing amazing murals and learning the painters’ stories and the intention behind each one painted on historic buildings. And to truly end things on the best possible note, we ate our hearts out at an all-you-can-eat buffet and grill!

Voices from the day
“It was quite emotional to see the ‘Trans Lives Matter’ mural in person. The bravery it takes to live your true self is so clear in those portraits — the immortalization of such a vulnerable minority worldwide is beautiful to see.”
