About सबेरा

सबेरा SABERA, a one-of-its-kind annual social impact award, and summit highlight ESG best practices & sustainable development initiatives by corporates, nonprofits, and individuals. Founded in 2018 by the Simply Suparnaa © Media Network, a UN WOMEN 2021 Awardee, with the larger objective to amplify GOOD in society. The platform has diverse stakeholders and is actively supported by industry stalwarts from large multinationals, changemakers, and policy influencers alike. सबेरा SABERA is apolitical & non-religious in nature and is not tied to any one majority interest or funder, which allows us to set a truly independent Awards process. The majority of the funding comes from entry fees and sponsorship.

We amplify GOOD work through our media partners besides the public recognition through a gala amidst industry peers, policymakers, and sustainability aficionados at large. The most challenging problems cannot be solved by the government and nonprofits alone. Hence, acknowledging a community of leaders that use business as a force for good, is an essential part of सबेरा SABERA.

Award winners are finalized, as per evaluation criteria for the respective Categories, by the Jury Board of eminent leaders. The Jury board represents various sectors of society and evaluates entries through a robust & transparent 2 tier process. The awardees are then recognized in a gala event and their work is highlighted through various traditional & social media platforms. A repository of ‘Do Gooders’ is also maintained through the yearly Awardees list on the site. Networking and collaborations are encouraged at the summit preceding the awards.

सबेरा SABERA’s annual event this year will be held on December 9th with the Jury board meeting on November 9th. There are 3 main categories under which the awards will be given, namely A Initiative, B Entity, and C Individual and a total of 15 subcategories. There is NO FEE for Category C i.e. Individual Award. An entry fee is applicable for Category A & B. To encourage smaller enterprises the fee is further subsidized or waived off according to the size of the organization. Refer to Rules and Regulations.

Besides catalyzing sustainability & ESG practices through knowledge exchange events, Recognising GOOD through Awards, सबेरा SABERA also amplifies voices of change through editorial content as updated regularly on India leadership Blogs
