LooCafe

Marketing, Tech & Innovation → Since 2019

LooCafe's a WASH company whose flagship innovation are sustainable public toilets made out of shipping containers with a PoS attached.

It's one of the few public toilet models that works, a multifunctional facility. We've helped cities improve sanitation, waste management, and sewer systems & now are pioneering in WASH as a domain.

Deep Tech & Sustainability at low-cost & scale is how we solve challenges related to WASH.

LooCafe's primary innovation is its business model & the organization's focus on sustainability.

From IoT based stink sensors, facility management apps, converting fecal matter to charcoal or ash & making more hardware-based solutions for water; we've worked on projects that have real world success stories.

Moving forward, we want to work further in WASH R&D by making more solutions in the LooCafe ecosystem + scaling and incubating other startups in the space.

What it takes to build LooCafe And why WASH + India are the underdog for global challenges.

A massive need to solve sanitation problems worldwide 4B people lack access, 60%+ world's diseases linked.

Yet WASH, globally has always been a philanthropic effort. It's left upto the government to solve challenges in the space or social entrepreneurs who have stakeholder & liasoning constraints showering on.

An official statistic says we need 1PT per 1000 people. India's economy can harness these challenges at scale and build for the world. But with climate change, growing population it's only going to get harder.

AI Governance

Area of Interest → Since 2024

Sridhar Babu, T=Hub, Vedanth Nath, AI Governance India, Hyderabad AI

AGI has a factor of possibly being the greatest x-risk we face. AI governance is an area of global focus to build global capacity for worldwide economic change.

Working for projects at scale, India, governance & policy have been my areas of focus with WASH, and I strongly believe in the potential understanding potential solutions can have for mitigating x-risk.

Current focus on: Transition impact mitigation & x-risk boundary framework for long-term alignment.

I mainly just read, learn & do idea boxing for this space as of now.
