*Neervana Netzero wins Rajasthan Green Innovation Challenge*
As India aims for self-reliance on the fronts of energy and fertiliser, I am excited to be associated with the journey of a set of passionate young entrepreneurs -Souryadeep Basak and Saatvik Narayan Mishra who are helping to realise this national vision.,
Our start up, Neervana Netzero has been felicitated by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Rajasthan Shri Bhajanlal Sharma for being one of the top three sustainability business ventures competing in the Rajasthan Green Innovation Challenge. The Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board appreciated their spirit of creative problem solving through their unique approach to geo-political pressure and environmental issues.
The team has developed a unique nature-based climate tower that can be readily installed in cities and mitigate air pollution by as much as 60%.
The young duo uses an extremely fast-growing native Indian aquatic fern to draw down pollution, capture carbon, generate oxygen, and treat wastewater streams. The resulting biomass can be used as fertiliser, animal fodder, pellets, and even as feedstock for bio-diesel.
This is a shining example of the power of Indian frugal problem-solving. Their brilliance lies in their simplicity.
The best is yet to come !
