    Upcycling Food

    Oat Milk has become quite popular today. Have you wondered what happens to the oats after the milk has been extracted? Yousef ate bread with grains left after making beer. This got him started on a quest to upcycle food. This journey has culminated in the launch of B-Sides. The journey has been long, spanning 4 years, and in this time, he has run several experiments to arrive at the Crunch Puffs that the company is currently retailing. Tune in to listen to his journey and also learn more about upcycling itself. Also, you can use the coupon code ‘Vivek20’ to get a 20% discount on all products available on B-Sides. The product is currently only available in the US.

    Damian Miller has been building Orb Energy in India for almost 2 decades now. His journey has been a unique example of sheer determination to make a change in this landscape.

    Recycling Electronics

    Recycling is often brought up as a panacea to the global climate challenge. What really goes into the business and how challenging it is to scale a business of this nature is hard for most of us to fathom. I had the privilege of speaking with Mr Prassann Daphal, CEO of RecycleKaro which is one of the biggest recycling companies in India. It was an illuminating conversation about the genesis of their business as well as the evolution of recycling in India. The company is currently focused on recycling the vast hoards of electronic waste that gets generated. Do listen in!

    Climate at the Intersection

    I had a delightful conversation with Dr. Harini Nagendra who is the Director for the School of Climate Change and Sustainability at the Azim Premji University. We covered a lot of ground in this conversation, starting from her background in ecology, her work that got her more involved in the area of sustainability and the work that she is currently pursuing at the Azim Premji University. I am also sharing the links to her books here - The Bangalore Detective Club Series, Nature in the City, Cities and Canopies, Shades of Blue Source of assets used - Intro Music You can also follow the podcast on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Amazon Music, Audible, and Podbean This is a public episode.

    A YC Founder's Pivot to Sustainability

    I had the privilege of speaking with Anu who has lived many lives. She went from completing her masters in Civil Systems Engineering at Berkley to founding NextDrop which was backed by YC. Along the NextDrop journey, she made a pivot towards working in the area of sustainability. She has worked in the area of urban water for over a decade, and it was great talking to her about this journey and her work. Anu writes a newsletter on climate, which you can subscribe here.

    Regenerating Forests

    I had the opportunity to speak with Sheeba Sen from Hasten Regeneration about her work in the area of forest regeneration. To describe the conversation as illuminating would be an understatement. Sheeba has been helping communities restore forests for over a decade now and she brings a whole host of sharp insights gleaned over this period. The work she is doing today might be paradigm-defining. I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with her, I am sure you would enjoy listening to it. If you want to reach out to Sheeba, you can ping her at sheeba@hastenregeneration.org Source of assets used - Intro Music You can also follow the podcast on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Amazon Music, Audible, and Podbean This is a public episode.

    Turning Sewage Water into Drinking Water

    In this podcast, I speak with Vikas from Boson Whitewater who is working towards making every home and industry reclaim their wastewater and turn it into potable water. His journey began when he returned from the UK to India hoping to make a difference. Such a long and intriguing journey through which he has discovered how to turn cleaning other people’s refuse into a business. Thoroughly enjoyed speaking with him.
