I spoke with Shreya Nath of WELL Labs to understand what took her from being an Architect to leading the Urban Water Program at WELL Labs and what she does there.

This conversation ranges from the structure of our cities to how water is accessed and provided to each of the residents to how we dispose of this water and finally what role policy could play in changing behaviour.

In the process, I learnt that Bangalore has the largest number of decentralised sewage treatment plants in the world. What we do with our sewage and our rainwater and what we should probably aspire to do.

If you have wondered at all about the recent water challenges in Bangalore, you will be glad you heard this.

If you are interested in knowing how Bangalore is fed its water here is an amazing video published by WELL Labs.

I spoke with Melissa Tan who is a Malaysian Actress, Model, Host, Entrepreneur and Climate Activist.

She has been working towards reducing the amount of fashion that is unnecessarily consumed. Her initiatives in Kuala Lumpur have seen thousands participate.

It was an interesting conversation about how she got into activism and how she sees change coming.

Listen in.

Normally, my podcasts are about 20 minutes long. This one is about 50 minutes long thanks to Shyam Menon.

This is easily the most I have enjoyed recording a podcast. Shyam Menon is the co-founder of Infuse Ventures and the Bharat Innovation Fund. In this podcast, he shares his journey from the US to India; from technology to VC; and from defence to sustainability.

A super candid conversation on how India’s first sustainability-focused fund got set up and what were the key learnings from that journey.

Deeply insightful and full of nuance, just listen to it.
