Gaurav Anand

Environmentalist

I have more than 2 decades of exposure in the field of Sustainability, Waste and Water Management, IoT, Total Productive Maintenance, Quality, Innovation & Business excellence. I was instrumental in implementing Plastic Tar Road, LoRAWAN use cases for Smart city initiative, Bio-methanization, Biodiesel from waste edible oil etc. I have started a Not for Profit - Swachhatapukare Foundation which works under 4 pillars i.e. Environmental futurism, Environment Education, Ideas & Innovation and Research & Collaboration. TEDxBistupur is part of the 3rd pillar i.e. Idea & Innovation to empower the community and spark conversations for a sustainable future for all.

Environment; Innovation; Technology; Volunteerism; Art and Craft etc.

An idea which focusses on the solutions for the local community and the planet.

I am a passionate volunteer actively working to improve environment since last 2 decades. My objective is to create a clean, green and healthy environment ( Water, Waste, Air, Soil & Energy) through our foundation. I feel that my corporate exposure can add lots of value on the challenges faced by our Environment. I like experimenting and this has given me confidence to never give up. While working on one of the challenges faced by water bodies i.e. Water hyacinth pollution, We were able to make many useful items like show-pieces, Lampshades, Stationery items and Fabrics. I believe that if all of us contribute for the planet and SDG, the world can become a better place to live in.
