Analyzing trends, challenges, and benefits, the paper identifies effective strategies for sustainability, concentrating on industries in Chitradurga and neighboring regions in Karnataka. The study highlights global best practices alongside local initiatives, assessing the role of stakeholders, and concludes with actionable recommendations to foster a sustainable and profitable commerce sector.
