Climate Mixer | Mindspace SOCIAL

What it is Climate Mixer is an evening gathering in Hyderabad that reframes climate conversation as culture rather than compliance. Hosted at Mindspace SOCIAL in Hitech City, the event brings together people from film, music, design, food, media and pop culture alongside climate practitioners to exchange ideas, challenge familiar narratives and explore new ways of making climate part of everyday conversation.

Who it's for

• Founders and operators building in climate tech, sustainability, agritech, circular economy and clean energy
• Creatives - filmmakers, musicians, designers, writers, chefs and media professionals - interested in climate storytelling
• Investors, CSR leads and foundation programme managers scouting climate-adjacent talent and projects
• Students, researchers and community organisers working on climate and environment in Hyderabad and across India
• Anyone who finds conventional climate panels dry and wants a more social, cross-disciplinary format

What to expect

• A mixer-style format built for conversation rather than lecture-style presentations
• Cross-disciplinary exchange between climate professionals and the creative industries
• Informal networking over food and drinks in a relaxed SOCIAL setting
• Discussion of how climate narratives travel through film, music, design, food and pop culture
• An open, welcoming room designed to lower the barrier to talking about climate

Organisers and context The event is presented by the Climate Culture Collective, Climate Week India and SOCIAL, and is supported by the Climate Collective Foundation as part of its Climate Drinks series.

Why it matters for the Indian startup ecosystem Climate is one of the fastest-growing startup categories in India, spanning energy, mobility, waste, water, food systems and climate finance. Events like this create the informal collisions - between founders, creatives, funders and community builders - that often precede partnerships, pilots and new ventures. For anyone building in the space, it is a low-friction way to meet the Hyderabad climate community outside a formal conference setting.
