Introducing Novaterra's Planet Health Investment Focus We are glad to share our second (and last) key focus of our investment thesis at Novaterra, #PlanetHealth: a portfolio of companies dedicated to preserving the Earth's ecosystems, mitigating climate change, and ensuring sustainable food and energy systems. Our commitment to leaving a mark drives us to invest in solutions that address the most pressing environmental challenges.

Reflections on My Transformative Journey at the Social Innovator Hub (SIH) Program in Sendai, Japan ✨ I was in Sendai, Japan from early August until late September 2024 to participate in the Social Innovator Hub (SIH) program by JICA. It was a life-changing experience throughout my journey. The program emphasized solving social problems using a co-creation approach for a better world, with Japan as the use case. Throughout the program, I was delighted to collaborate with teammates from different countries to solve landfill problems. I am proud to mention: 1. Maral Davaanyam from Mongolia 2. Habib Abiola Abdulraheem from Nigeria 3. Shlok Shrivastava from India Although we didn’t know each other before the program, our group became unbreakable. We worked together almost every week and made time for group outings as well. This strong bond made my experience in Japan truly unforgettable. I still remember our first group outing at Dumbo's Pizza Factory near Sendai Station, which marked our commitment to working seriously for this program. The team dynamics weren't always straightforward, which kept things from becoming boring. We often had debates in nearly every meeting. However, through these discussions, we were able to nurture our ideas and build a strong, robust foundation. Our team focused on solving landfill problems, choosing this issue due to its seriousness. Globally, landfills account for approximately 1.6 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. In Japan, the average lifespan of a landfill is just 22.4 years, and it is often even shorter in most developing countries. To address the problem, we propose optimizing plasma vitrification technology to convert toxic incineration ash into eco-friendly, high-value slag. This approach not only reduces operational costs but also supports sustainable and carbon-negative construction materials. Our hard work finally paid off as our team was recognized as the most innovative team, and I was honored to receive the co-creation award as an individual. This achievement wouldn't have been possible without the support of our amazing mentor from Dentsu, who provided intensive guidance throughout the program. They often acted as a deal-breaker whenever our team encountered deadlocks or engaged in lengthy debates. My highest appreciation goes to our mentors: 1. Nozomi Koseki-san 2. Nobuyasu Kaida-san The most unforgettable moment was our site visit to Sendai’s landfill and incinerator plant. We learned a great deal about how Japan manages waste and treats landfills. This experience allowed us to formulate innovative ideas for solving landfill problems. This visit would not have been possible without the assistance of 鎧坂文菜-san and the support from Sendai City. I would like to extend my gratitude to Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), Dream Incubator, Sendai City, Tohoku University, and, last but not least, all my fellow participants for making this experience possible. 😊🙏 頑張ってください!

Reflecting on the Journey: SUSTAIN-A-THON 2024 🌟 A few months ago, my team and I embarked on an exciting journey as participants in IndianOil's SUSTAIN-A-THON 2024: ‘Sparking Innovation to Fuel a Sustainable Tomorrow’. This competition was more than just a challenge—it was an opportunity to dive deep into the world of sustainability, innovation, and the future of the energy sector. I’m proud to share that we successfully qualified through the Preliminary Round, showcasing our knowledge in a 15-minute quiz focused on IndianOil’s green initiatives, sustainability practices, and environmental awareness. In Round 1, we crafted an Executive Summary, proposing futuristic ideas that align with IndianOil’s mission of driving sustainable energy solutions. Though we didn’t advance beyond Round 1, the experience was invaluable. It taught us the importance of resilience, teamwork, and continuous learning. Every step of this journey reinforced my passion for sustainability and innovation. To everyone out there, remember that every competition is a learning experience. Success isn't just about winning—it's about growing, learning, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Keep challenging yourself, and don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. 🚀 A big thank you to Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. for organizing such a meaningful competition and providing us with a platform to contribute towards a sustainable future. Onward and upward! 🌍 #Sustainability #Innovation #Sustainathon2024 #IndianOil #LearningJourney #Teamwork #Motivation

Here's my 2024 LinkedIn Rewind, by Coauthor.studio: Sometimes the most impactful transformations happen at sea level - collecting used fishing nets village by village, conversation by conversation. 2024 showed us that building a circular economy isn't just about innovative technology - it's about connecting communities, from Indonesian fishing villages to international partnerships: Key Milestones: • Conducted field research across 5 fishing villages in Indonesia • Selected as 1 of 33 youth leaders for YSEALI Academy GreenTech Fellowship • Initiated ALDFG whitepaper collaboration with CSIRO • Expanded circular economy solutions into paper waste through SCGP partnership • Progressed towards pilot collection site in Indonesia Three posts that captured our journey: "First Trip to Bali" On transforming fishing net disposal practices through community engagement "My first trip to Bali wasn't about sightseeing; it was about making a difference by collecting used fishing nets." https://lnkd.in/gCN6f5a6 "YSEALI Academy Fellowship" How cross-cultural collaboration drives sustainability innovation "Despite our diverse cultural backgrounds, the exchange of conversations, ideas, and passions to drive technology, sustainability & circular economy transformation was invaluable." https://lnkd.in/gDCkhHhe "ASEAN Australia Week Panel" Building regional partnerships for marine conservation https://lnkd.in/gedh7-eG Looking ahead: 2025 focuses on two key goals - launching our pilot collection site in Indonesia and publishing our ALDFG whitepaper with CSIRO. These initiatives will help prevent ghost nets while providing financial incentives for local communities. To every fishing village that welcomed us, every partner who shared our vision, and every community member working towards cleaner oceans - your commitment to sustainable solutions inspires our innovation. #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #MarineConservation #ALDFG #LinkedInRewind -- Get your 2024 LinkedIn Rewind!
