01:34- Tell me about Zero Carbon and what was your motivation to start it.
- I came up with a start-up idea in the realm of battery innovation and battery charging technology but realised that there might not be a market for it in 10 years.
- Climate change effects like floods, and droughts, would lead to a world without internet connections and business opportunities.

08:24- Why do you think sustainability is so crucial for financial markets?
- It is crucial in all aspects and for everyone. Soil pollution leads to issues in soil fertility and hence health issues due to malnutrition.
- Poor air quality can lead to breathing issues including asthma and lung cancer. 70 per cent of the earth is water and water pollution can cause various health issues too.

- It is not about convincing or blaming anyone. Simply, the older generation had its issues and we have ours.
- The generation before us had financial problems or societal issues and they solved them. They got through their problems and now we have to focus on our own.
- Our generation’s biggest problem is climate change and attaining sustainability. The population has hit 8 billion and it is time we focus our efforts to solve our environmental problems.
