Sustainable Living Lab (SL2)

Growth isn’t just about numbers—it’s about the people and the stories that define them. For us at Sustainable Living Lab (SL2), 2024 has been about more than just business—it was about hard work, trust, and shared goals that have helped us grow in ways we never imagined. We worked ourselves through uncharted grounds to emerge stronger, invigorated, and more together than ever. And we can’t wait for what the new year and beyond will bring us.   As we wish you a very happy 2025, we will continue to share the stories of the people behind our work—our #hopes, #challenges, and the #partnerships that drive us to continue growing. #sustainability #2025 Veerappan Swaminathan Aaqib Alvi [Building Future Ready Nations]Arihant Chindalia Janio Nugraha WanYing Weng Russell Fock Avinash Singh Suprina Sandhu Preetha Lenin Cecep Januardi Ditty V.

True Rice, our tool designed to support the entire agricultural spectrum, made its mark at the Uttar Pradesh Agro Pradarshini in Lucknow, highlighting how simple tech can drive real change. From farmers optimising their yields to procurement teams improving traceability to exporters ensuring compliance, True Rice simplifies complex processes into accessible solutions. 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐬: 𝟗𝟗% accuracy in rice quality analysis. 𝟑𝟎-𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 scans for broken, whole, and chalky grains. Aroma detection will be added soon to identify premium varieties, ensure purity, and prevent adulteration. Beyond rice, we're expanding to crops like maize, wheat, coffee, and spices. Organised by ASSOCHAM (The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India), the Uttar Pradesh Agro Pradarshini is instrumental in closing the gap between technology and accessibility. The experience gained over three days enhances our commitment to sustainability, technology, and community and True Rice reflects this approach—a simple, scalable solution built with communities at its core. For us as an SME, the event was more than a showcase. We learnt from peers, farmers, and farmer-producer organisations (FPOs), exchanging ideas with stakeholders across the entire ecosystem, keeping us agile. We explored new ways to simplify technology, further deepening our commitment to making tools easy to use, accessible to everyone, and adaptable to different needs. How can we collaborate to make technology more accessible and impactful for the communities that need it most? Let's exchange ideas.

Our Singapore teammates enjoying an X'mas Ornament making workshop. Or is something more going on? With its history and culture rooted in the Maker Movement, Sustainable Living Lab (SL2) is not just a typical sustainability consultancy. For one, we have a fully functioning makerspace (complete with laser cutters, electronics stations, 3D Printers, CNC machines, AI PCs) taking up 60% of our office footprint! We also seek inspiration from the maker ethos of having a growth mindset (there is nothing we cannot learn from), a sense of craftsmanship (doing your best even when no one is looking) and practicing open sharing (give so that you may receive). We have also been working directly with communities since our inception, not as a once-in-a-year CSR initiative, but as part of our day-to-day work. We feel that this combination of "Sustainability + Technology + Community" is absolutely necessary for us to do our work as a sustainability consultancy and make real, lasting and meaningful impact on people and our planet. Through the experience of making ornaments, we exposed newer members of our team to the tools and techniques to make their imagination come to reality. Because to build a better world, we must first learn how to make.
