Shell launched its E4 programme in India to help start-ups accelerate the transition into a lower-carbon future. Four participants tell Inside Energy about their ideas and the pressing energy challenge they hope to solve.
By Soh Chin Ong on Jul 12, 2019
“As a child I would watch space flights from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on TV. I remember being in complete awe of Kalpana Chawla, who was India’s first female astronaut.
Later, while studying mechanical engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, I met Tushar Jadhav, a senior student who was leading a team to launch a satellite. I joined this project which was being funded by the university as well as the ISRO.
Tushar and I worked well together. We shared a dream to democratise space and make it accessible to all. Many of earth’s problems can be solved from space.
For example, satellites can be used to provide Internet access for the 3 billion people who currently don’t have it. Satellites can also be used as early warning systems for natural disasters like tsunamis or cyclones.
We formed Manastu Space to fulfil our vision. Our first task is to develop a satellite engine powered by a fuel that will make launching affordable, energy-efficient and safe. In time, we hope to scale the engine up to fit a rocket.
Most rocket fuel is currently made up of highly toxic and carcinogenic substances like hydrazine.Our fuel is made with hydrogen peroxide and alcohol – chemicals safe enough to be found in the house.
This fuel is 25% more energy efficient. It can also be broken down to release water, oxygen and heat – essential to sustain life.
This means it could be used in future to land people on Mars. Not necessarily to live there, but to discover solutions for earth.
Our dreams may be in space. But we are grounded by our desire to solve earth’s many problems.
I might not get to become an astronaut. But I can certainly help develop the ecosystem for the astronauts of the future.”
“I decided to start my company after a chance encounter in Mumbai with a civil servant.
He told me about a sugarcane farmer whose family had been making alcohol from sugarcane molasses for generations. That was until the authorities shut down his distillery and fined him heavily for dumping contaminated wastewater into an open stream.
The farmer had no idea why he had been fined or where the waste water had gone. He had been paying a man periodically to get rid of it.
That story made me realise people do not understand the value in waste water.
Less than 0.3% of the world’s water is returned to its source. We rely heavily on rain, assuming our water supply will be refilled constantly. When there is a drought, we never ask if there is a way to use water in a sustainable manner.
I had just completed my PhD in bioprocess technology at the Institute of Chemical Technology in Mumbai where I worked on a project converting crop waste to biofuel.
I was inspired, therefore, to develop a technology focused on waste water.
In this technology, microorganisms consume the organic matter and generate electrons, producing reconstituted clean water and biohydrogen, as a source of power. Metals are also extracted from the waste water.
Communities and industries end up with clean water, as well as metals and biohydrogen – a sustainable, carbon-negative and high-density energy carrier – which they can sell.
Things have been moving fast in the last two years since I started. My parents have been very supportive.
My mother, who is a lawyer, is co-founder of the company. She takes care of the business, while I take care of the tech. It’s been a winning formula so far.”
“I was born in Delhi. My father was a senior executive at Indian Railways and we lived in eight different states in India. My childhood memories are of trains and trucks and cargo.
I also spent seven years in the USA, first at university, and then working for an American IT company helping clients manage technology and supply chain matters.
During that time, while visiting India, I saw that the logistics ecosystem was completely different from that in the USA.
Companies lack access to accurate data that helps them decide how and when to move goods, through data such as weather patterns and traffic conditions.
I saw problems but also opportunities. So I moved back home.
I travelled from Punjab in the north to Kerala in the south. I talked to truck drivers, factory owners and logistics companies.
In many places, I saw fruit and vegetables strewn on both sides of the road. But, a few hours away, I would see trucks parked up idle. The drivers would have been sitting around for days with nothing to do, not earning any money.
This happens because the farmers and drivers have to rely on middlemen when they do not have access to real-time accurate information.
That made me realise, in some cases, poverty isn’t necessarily caused by people not having food or work. It happens because systems are not fair and equitable.
Across most sectors, companies face similar issues. They lack useful information to make good business decisions. These experiences eventually inspired me to start my company.
Logistics should be something people take for granted, the way you assume flicking on a switch will give you electricity and turning on a tap will give you running water.
I know we can make a difference, not only in India, but around the world.”
“When I was a kid, physics was my favourite subject. I loved Newton’s Three Laws of Motion, which says each action has an equal and opposite reaction. I could see those rules being applied in everyday cause-and-effect situations.
I find meaning in solving real problems. Sure, I want to make the world a better place. But there is no point in having a dream or vision if it doesn’t address a real market problem.
That is how Detect Technologies was formed. My three co-founders and I were studying at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras.
We realised the country’s oil and gas industry had no safe and cost-effective technology to monitor pipe leaks.
Damage assessment is mainly be done manually by humans and it normally takes three to four days just to assemble scaffolding for the workers. After the work is done, the scaffolding is dismantled and thrown away.
We wanted to fix this. With the help of our professor and a team of some 20 students, we started work on a sensor that could operate at high temperatures.
That work would eventually lead to our first innovation, a Guided Ultrasonic Monitoring Pipeline System, or GUMPS. We launched it in 2013 and since then, some around 80% of the energy companies in India have signed up with us, as have many others in the steel, chemical and fertiliser industries.
We are only three years old, but we already have around 100 employees in our offices in Chennai, Mumbai and Gujarat. In the last three years, I have travelled across India, as well as to Europe, Canada and Malaysia exploring new business opportunities and markets.
We are achieving only 10% of what we are ultimately capable of. And it takes a long time to build a legacy.”

The only way to determine if your ideas can potentially be profitable as a business and is worth pursuing further is to conduct feasibility studies. The purpose each entrepreneur should conduct a detailed feasibility assessment or study is to test if that business idea makes: Personal Sense, Business Sense, Market Sense, and Financial Sense. Without looking at the personal aspect, business concept, the market, and the financials, as well as analyzing the data and information, an entrepreneur is likely not to be successful or not as successful as s/he would like to be. A business plan is an essential roadmap for business success. A business plan provides direction, keeps you on track and is usually a requirement when you seek finance. A business plan is a formal grid map of all of your business goals, and plans on how to achieve them. Entrepreneurial skills assist Small scale industries generate growth and development of new ventures in developing economies. At the entrepreneurship development level, a key role of the programme is to develop tools and programmes that deal with the long term effects of entrepreneurial culture.
We believe that preparing a business plan is important for any business regardless of its size or nature. To make it easier here are few project profiles for planning a business:
Floral foam is a dense, lightweight and porous material that can be cut into virtually any shape. It holds its shape when wet and provides both water and support to cut flower arrangements. The density of floral foam means that it holds large quantities of water, which in turn, increases the life of flowers. It also provides increased support to the flower stems, giving more control with flower arrangements.Floral foam originally appeared as a green brick. Today, it comes in various colors and a variety of shapes such as spheres, crosses or wreaths suitable for a variety of arranging needs.
In addition, floral foam is pH balanced. This means that the acidity of the environment which the flowers are placed in remains at the optimum level ultimately helping your flowers to last. Another important feature of floral foam is how quickly it will soak and absorb water.Floral foams have become a permanent staple in the art of flower arrangement. By providing trouble-free support for flowers, many designs have been made achievable, giving flower arranging artists more room to come up with every design that they can imagine.
Aluminium fluoride is the chemical compound with the formula AlF3. It has the consistency of a white powder. AlF3 is refractory, in strong contrast to the other halides of aluminium. Adding aluminium fluoride to the production process of primary aluminium lowers the consumption of electricity required in the smelting process and thereby considerably contributes to the reduction of production costs of aluminium. Aluminium producers (smelters) are the main users of aluminium fluoride.
Aluminium fluoride is used in many industrial processes. It is one of the minor constituents added to the electrolytic cells during the production of metallic aluminium. Aluminium fluoride is used in turning alumina into aluminium.
Grinding, Blending and Packing
Spices are non-leafy parts (e.g. bud, fruit, seed, bark, rhizome, and bulb) of plants used as a flavoring or seasoning, although many can also be used as an herbal medicine.They impart aroma, color and taste to food preparations. The volatile oils from spices give the aroma and the oleoresins impart the taste.
India is the largest producer, consumer and exporter of spices and spice products in the world and produces more than 50 spices. India is also a big exporter of Chilli, turmeric, cumin, pepper and many other spices.There are a number of masalas with various ingredients.
The cashew nut is a popular dessert nut, eaten out of hand, with other mixed nuts and used in baking and confections. Sixty percent of cashews are consumed as salted nuts. It is also made into cashew butter and nut milk. The nut is high in protein, oil and also vitamins, especially thiamin. The nut makeup is 47% fat, 21% protein, and 22% carbohydrate.
Three main cashew products are traded on the international market: raw nuts, cashew kernels and cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL). A fourth product, the cashew apple is generally processed and consumed locally. The raw cashew nut is the main commercial product of the cashew tree, though yields of the cashew apple are eight to ten times the weight of the raw nuts. Raw nuts are either exported or processed prior to export.
Wire nail is very well known item, as it is very common product, which is normally used in daily life. It is used for fastening purpose. Its use is so wide spread that it has become part and parcel of the life.
Wire nails are pin-shaped, sharp objects of hard metal or alloy used as fasteners. They are typically made of steel, often dipped or coated to prevent corrosion in harsh conditions or improve adhesion.Ordinary nails for wood are usually of soft, low carbon or mild steel while those for concrete are harder. Nails are used for various purposes and industries ranging from building and construction to carpentry. There is a tremendous variety of nails, since they are used for so many different purposes.
for Injection with BFS Technology
The objective of formulating and compounding sterile preparations is to provide adosage form of a labeled drug, in the stated potency that is safe to use if administeredproperly.Water for InjectionWater for injection is purified by distillation or reverse osmosis and is free of pyrogens (bacterial substance that can produce fever).Sterile water for injection USP is sterilized and packaged in single-dose containers not exceeding 1000 ml.Bacteriostatic water for injection is sterilized and contains one or more bacteriostatic agents in a container no larger than 30 ml.
India’s pharmaceutical sector has seen unwavering growth in the past few years, going up to 23 billion USD in 2012 from 23 billion USD in 2002. Various industry reports suggest that the pharmaceutical sector in India has been growing consistently at the rate of 13-14% every year since the last five years.India has an organized pharmaceutical market of its own, which is being considered as a potential partner by other countries. The Indian Pharma Market is ranked number 3 in terms of volume and 10thin terms of market value.As a whole it is a good project for new entrepreneurs to invest.
Earlier, wooden sleepers were used for laying the railway tracks but due to the depleting wooden resources and increasing concern of the ecological balance, the use of concrete sleepers was started and now it has completely replaced the wooden sleepers.Concrete ties have become more common mainly due to greater economy and better support of the rails under high speed and heavy traffic.
Ties are normally laid on top of track ballast, which supports and holds them in place, and provides drainage and flexibility. Heavy crushed stone is the normal material for the ballast, but on lines with lower speeds and weight, sand, gravel and even ash from the fires of coal-fired steam locomotives have been used.
An aerodrome or airdrome is a location from which aircraft flight operations take place, regardless of whether they involve air cargo, passengers, or neither. Aerodromes include small general aviation airfields, large commercial airports, and military airbases. The term airport may imply a certain stature (having satisfied certain certification criteria or regulatory requirements) that an aerodrome may not have achieved. That is to say, all airports are aerodromes, but not all aerodromes are airports.
India needs to build 50 new airports with investments of Rs.2.72 lakh crore, to handle air traffic in the next 5-7 years.
For the last one-and-a-half years, India has been the fastest growing air traffic market in the world.
Activated carbon in any form of carbon shows high absorptivity for gases, vapours and colloidal solids in either the gas ion or liquid phase. It is available in many forms such as pellets, granules and in powder form. Activated carbon is very important chemical has wide application and employed by numerous industries which require absorption of certain gases and vapours in purification, in catalytic chemical reactions, decolorisation of vegetable oil and sugar solutions. Activated carbons have a large surface area, liquid phase or decolorising carbons are generally light, fluffy powder that exhibits surface areas of about 300 m2/g. while gas or vapour phase carbons are hard granules or formed pellets that exhibit surface areas from 800 m2 /g to 1200 m2/g.
Hydroponic Green House Farming
Hydroponics is a system of agriculture that utilizes nutrient-laden water rather than soil for plant nourishment. The re-use of nutrient water supplies makes process-induced eutrophication (excessive plant growth due to overabundant nutrients) and general pollution of land and water unlikely, since runoff in weather-independent facilities is not a concern. Aeroponic and hydroponic systems do not require pesticides, require less water and space than traditional agricultural systems, and may be stacked (if outfitted with led lighting) in order to limit space use (vertical farming). This makes them optimal for use in cities, where space is particularly limited and populations are high-self-sustaining city-based food systems mean a reduced strain on distant farms, the reduction of habitat intrusions, fewer food miles, and fewer carbon emissions.
Peanut butter is a food paste made from ground nut or peanut. It consists essentially of cleaned, graded, blanched, roasted and crushed groundnuts containing about 45 percent of oil and over 25 percent of proteins, being thus a highly nutritive food.The major groundnut-producing countries of the world are India, China, Nigeria, Senegal, Sudan, Burma and the USA. The peanuts are shelled and dry-roasted the skins are removed and the nuts are finally ground. This material is blended with salt and other ingredients that may include hydrogenated fat, dextrose, corn syrup solids, and lecithin and anti-oxidants.
Plant and machinery required for the manufacture of peanutbutterarenot much sophisticated and canbeprocured indigenously. Peanut butter is used for making Sandwiches, candy and other bakery products.
A Holiday resort is a self-contained commercial establishment that endeavors to provide most of a vacationer’s wants, such as food, drink, lodging, sports, entertainment, and shopping, on the premises. A resort is not always a commercial establishment operated by a single company, although in the late twentieth century this sort of facility became more common.
The need for advancement of holiday resorts has been felt very recently due to advancement in the technology and industry due to which a lot of young million are have come into existence. This class of people and many people from higher and medium class like to take advantage of this type of holiday resort on many occasions.
India is the still by and large vegetarian in dietary habit and heavily depends upon vegetative source to meet out its daily protein requirement. India is bound to be global leader in terms of production and consumer of pulses. Since, India is leading importer of pulses; production of pulse/legume crops has been stagnant over the years.
They are the main sources of protein. The important dals in the country are Channa, Moong, Urad, Moth, toordal and Masoor, Matar etc. The pulses are used for preparing hot dishes, sweet dishes and other varieties.Pulses are the important sources of proteins, vitamins and minerals and are popularly known as “Poor man’s meat” and “rich man’s vegetable”, contribute significantly to the nutritional security of the country.India is the largest producer (25% of global production), consumer (27% of world consumption) and importer (14%) of pulses in the world.
