Team One Biotech’s Post

Super excited to share that Umagine / H2 Carbon Zero was declared as one of the top 5 winners of the Agritech Grand Challenge organized by Indigram Labs Foundation - TBI, Supported by DST, GoI as part of the Global Bio-India 2024 Roadshow. Ours was the only start-up focusing on solving for decarbonized clean power for agriculture. In spite of widespread electrification and solarization, diesel generators are still used rampantly for various use-cases within the agriculture sector. One of the alarming use-cases is in #aquaculture, which includes all kind of fish and prawn farming. The fumes generated from the diesel generators has a very negative impact on the life of the creatures. With the state of the art H2 Carbon Zero fuel cells, we are able to replace diesel generators in many farms, fisheries, and also to power #agriculture equipment. This in combination with the use of waste heat, the efficiency is very high and the economic case for replacement of diesel generators is bankable even today with #greenhydrogen. We are very happy for this recognition, and it means a lot for our journey. Many thanks to the esteemed panel of judges and the organizers for the same. Thanks Laxmikant Banjarey for expertly handling the pitch and adding a feather to our cap.

Attended 2nd Annual Agrochemicals R&D & Innovations India Summit 2024 held in Mumbai on 28th & 29th May. Diverse range of topics deliberated at length by Veteran professionals from the agrochemical industry. Innovation backed by strong R&D, protected through IPR and driven by robust regulatory support is crucial to give sustainable farm solutions as well as to mitigate the gap in bringing technology from Laboratory to Field. Strong Industry-Academia and Public-Private partnerships are the way forward to work collaboratively for the benefit of farmers. Need to spread awareness on Climate resilience and reduction of carbon footprints to meet Global Sustainable Goals. #Regulatory #Inventicon Business Intelligence #Parijat Industries

Navkaran Singh Bagga, CEO of Akvo, pens an article for Bizz Buzz (by The Hans India). The coverage highlights India's potential to lead global water management innovation through the adoption of AWG technology. "Many forward-thinking corporates are early adopters of AWG technology, utilizing it to meet their sustainability goals while also curbing costs on drinking water for their workforce." As traditional water sources like groundwater and rivers become increasingly unreliable due to urbanization and climate change, AWG offers a promising alternative. This technology extracts potable water directly from the air, providing a clean, sustainable solution that helps businesses and communities be water independent.

This #LearningTuesday, dive into India’s BioE3 initiative, which leverages biotechnology to enhance the economy, environment, and employment. From boosting crop yields and developing drought-resistant varieties to advancing healthcare innovations with life-saving drugs and driving sustainable energy solutions like biofuels, biotech is reshaping our world. With BioE3, India is leading the charge in the global bioeconomy, creating lasting social and economic impact. 🌿💡 At Zytex, through our PlantbiotiX division, we are proud to offer biotech solutions designed specifically for soil and crop health. Our microbial products promote sustainable agriculture by improving soil structure, enhancing nutrient availability, and protecting crops. Together, we’re building a healthier future for agriculture and beyond. #Biotechnology #BioE3 #EconomicDevelopment #Innovation #Sustainability #ZytexBiotech #Bioeconomy #PlantbiotiX #SoilHealth #CropProtection #SustainableAgriculture For more insights, check out the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dsk3s98s

Commercialization, the next big mountain for AgBio in India. Aptly titled piece by ThinkAgs Harvesting Tomorrow Key insights takes a deeper look at what must move for biologicals to reach their full potential in India. At Bioprime™ we have said this before and we will say it now as well....the short answer to this question is PARTNERSHIPS! Industry partnerships where tech players (academic institutes or startups) can get deeper market understanding and market access. We are yet to see Ag Bio startups in India build scale. The next phase of this biotech story in agriculture will be shaped by the players who can scale, build adoption. Let's revisit this in exactly one year to see what n how things have changed!

I'm thrilled to have participated in the Indo-German business delegation on Sustainable Water and Wastewater Management, representing Paques India, This platform facilitated valuable collaborations with German partners eager to introduce cutting-edge technologies in India. Key insights: India's Water Landscape - Only 30% of wastewater is treated, presenting vast opportunities for growth. Pharma Industry Trends - India emerges as the pharmaceutical capital, driving major manufacturers towards Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) adoption. Regulatory Developments - Amendments to the Water Supply and Treatment Manual prioritize "Drink from Tap" initiatives. Technological Advancements - AI-powered digitization revolutionizes water management. - Digital Non-Revenue Water (NRW) monitoring enhances efficiency. - Trenchless technology transforms water treatment infrastructure renovation (UV-FRP). Future-Proofing Water Management Together, we can harness innovation to address India's water challenges! Thankyou for organizing such a insightful event @Indo-German Chamber of Commerce #IndoGermanCollaboration #SustainableWaterManagement #PaquesIndia#

Since the launch of the #BioE3 policy, organisations across India are taking initiatives to embrace the policy’s vision. 💥 The RGCB - Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology is leading Kerala's transition to bio-manufacturing hubs, which will address challenges related to food, energy, and climate. 👀 The Institute of Bioresources and Sustainable Development (IBSD) in Imphal is sparking curiosity and enthusiasm for biotechnology and encouraging students to pursue their careers in this field through hands-on lab experiences and engaging lectures. 📰 “The idea is to build competencies, promote research, educate and train young talent, and get involved in the process of technology development so that India can be well-placed to derive benefits when the technologies become mature,” echoes Amitabh Sinha in this article by The Indian Express: 👉🏽 https://lnkd.in/dsk3s98s We look forward to more positive ripple effects of the BioE3 policy, driving innovation and investment in #smartprotein in the months to come.
