I think. Either for you know, either from an entrepreneurship function or in terms of what we can consider as a possibility to perform innovation. Sustainability related challenges seem like a moon shot or a near impossibility for us mere mortals. In the sense that I have either found those initiatives to be either large and most of the times done in a closed space or. There is not much that is happening that would be accessible for us, so keeping this in mind. For me as a person who is an engineer and also as an entrepreneur, what is it I can do? When I went ahead and then did some digging around, thanks to Perplexity, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, in that order, I was able to get some interesting initiatives that are happening in that front. And I also have to admit that I don't have any first principle understanding here, but I was able to relate to what value that was getting created in this space. 1 is what? Blue River has been able to do in what you know this new term called as precision agriculture. So just to give you some perspective, John Deere has bought Blue River for $300 million and some change. And this is a clear indication that there is something to disrupt there. And the blue the Blue Rivers USP is about using computer vision, machine learning to build models that can be used to do crop management at plant level. When I read crop management and plant. Level it really, you know, made me feel excited because it means a lot in terms of, for example, reducing the amount of herbicide that we need to use to take care of the crops and protect the crops. If there is a possibility where spraying A herbicide can be automized, automated to a point where I can look at a specific plant and then figure out how much I need to use for that particular crop. Sounds like an awesome place to start, but it seems like a pretty much. Romantic notion for us in India. We need to see how something like Blue River can happen in India. But this definitely sounds like a very good use case to consider. The other one that really caught my attention is the digital twins. Model So I'll give you some perspective what I mean by that the city of Las Vegas has engaged two companies, one by the name City Zenith, the other by the name Turbine to model the entire city with its physical assets, with its map, with its terrains in a manner where the combination of the entire structural understanding of the city, the traffic function of the city, the air pollution related aspects of the city, all that have been put into one single place and they're using it to simulate. How sitting planning can be done properly. Now when I hear that at this point in time, we all have been in a way taken to, to this, you know, this alternative universe by Google Maps where you have to look for directions and we have to think about understanding what the city is. The single most place that we all know to go and understand what the city is all about has been Google Maps. But Digital Trends as a possibility seems to kind of disrupt the idea of only using Google Maps. We need to see if there is a possibility for small and medium businesses to partake. That way towns can be mapped, uh, you know, obesities can be mapped, not, not only the metropolitan where there is a significant possibility for value creation in terms of, you know, dealing with traffic, dealing with air pollution, dealing with water tables, dealing with the town planning and city planning. All that can be done in a manner where there is, you know, $110 million. Companies instead of one $10 billion companies. We need to see how we can we can take advantage of putting at use in transforming this field. But at least at this point in time, I feel that there is a good amount of closeness to it. I went and then search for GitHub repos that have some level of traction with respect to sustainability and yeah, I have found none. That's where my concern is. Let's see where this goes.
