I
should be there for the real this season of being the publication
administrator, as well as since I had a comment that may
help us out in a beautiful way.
The feedback we’ve received from readers and organizations
affiliated with our distribution have revived my faith.
I owe you a huge debt of gratitude for your tireless efforts on
behalf of my gathering.
The life of a corporate visionary is difficult, and we are
frequently forced to take detours.
If you enjoy it, starting a business from the ground up will need
everything you have, including your soul, blood, and sweat.
While you may have your own set of skills, as a businessperson,
you need always be aware of your surroundings.
You should be informed about what’s going on and what’s not
going to happen in the next day based on what’s happening on.
The main story has included marvelous personalities that are
the founder of bambooos-Genuinely Green in the year 2016 by
Indrani Mukherjiee & Samrat Saha. The manufacturing start-
up company was formed with the mission of manufacturing

elow are the highlights of the conversation between Swiftnlift Business
Magazine and Bamboooz. The company was founded in the year
2016 by Indrani Mukherjiee & Samrat Saha. We are glad to share this
exclusive interview with all the readers.
Tell us about your company. Its vision and mission.
The manufacturing start-up company was formed with the mission of
manufacturing world class beautiful environment-friendly products
which add to the wellness of the consumer, sustainable, durable and 100%
Biodegradable products. We intend to lower the use of Plastic for our
consumers. We had been a Zero waste Company not adding to any landfill
or Disposal in our 3-4 years of operation. We intend to uphold the Ethics
of the company and the brand. We employ the most neglected community
of Artisans from the remotest part of the country who are trained with
modern technology and machinery. We would like to work with more such
communities to bring Sustainable development to our country.

13. What were the constraints you faced while
starting with the company?
The Company was formed and within months
Demonetization was declared, followed by the GST
Migration. But we turned it into an opportunity. We
focused on Product Design, Product Development,
the establishment of Supply Chain, Availability of raw
material. The time span of almost 16-18 months helped
us streamlining our Backend.
The Other Constraint was the operating fund.
Manufacturing Startups normally is an inventory based
entitywheretheproductionshouldcontinueirrespective
of the orders and on top facing the challenge of delayed
payments. Change in Payment policy and pouring of
founders savings helped us sail thru these constraints.
What incident influenced your career
choice?
The Founders being Civil Engineers and Environmental
Engineers already started working with Bamboo and
other Sustainable materials and had completed almost
60 projects. Many Innovations and accolades followed
in.It was when one of the founders bought a Bamboo
vegetable Cutting Board from a Store, which opened up
in 30 days. It was appalling to see that the Board was of
waste Wood dust sandwiched with Bamboo Skin. This
was the 1st inspiration for the founders to enter into
manufacturing to empower Indian Consumers with
Good Products. The market Research with IIM Shillong
& IIM Nagpur helped us understand that there was no
Indian replacement for these imported products.
Tell us about your products.
Bamboooz is a Brand associated mainly with the
Priority of Health and Wellness, Distinctly Eco-
friendly and 100% Biodegradable. We are mainly in the
arena of Home & Kitchen. We manufacture Kitchen
tools, Kitchen Essentials of Different varieties and
now entering into Personal care. All our Products are
plastic Replacement, all Natural, without any Polish
and Colour. Our Products are designed by our Team
of Designers keeping functionality in mind and the
essence of our products which is Environment friendly,
Sustainable, Good for health and 100% Biodegradable.
We are now exporting to different parts of the globe.
Our manufacturing process all customized and critically
checked for quality.
How do you stand different from those who
are already into this business?
Indian Consumers are now seeing a surge in Eco-
Products. But they hardly know that the products are
waxed for a Beautiful Finish. We don’t concentrate on the
looks rather on the functionality, quality and naturalness
of the product without any toxins. Our Products are all
tested and now we have passed thru the strict USFDA
tests. Quality and ethics are our prime Strength. We also
employ the most vulnerable Artisan groups whether
directly or as our vendors from the remotest part of
India. Sustainability is not the product alone, but the
flow of revenue to the bottom of the pyramid.
How do you stay
updated with the
recent trends?
As far as product
quality and
product design and
functionality go we
are always updated
since we export.

Kitchen for our overseas customers.
Although there are quite a few products that we have not
launched for Indian consumers studying the behavioural
difference and consumer needs comparing the Indian
household and a western household.
What is your strategy
to reach customers?
We have a strong
presence online and
offline, especially in
the organized retail.
All our products are
having descriptive
Message to the
consumer.
We intend to take up the
online videos of Product
Care. That’s very important
when you make a Natural
product; you
need to
educate your consumers on how to take care of the
product. The Dos and Don’ts. That would be a campaign
for our regular consumers and our new consumers
whom we are adding on a daily basis.
What would you say are your main
influences when conceiving a Product?
First of all the product should conform to our Brand
ethics. Next, what influences are the Design and
functionality of the product? The Product should help
our consumers with the least maintenance? That’s a
Motto we try to infuse in the design- Simple and easy
to maintain.
Tell us something about your achievements
and recognition?
We have been able to Give Indian Consumers an Indian
Brand to rely on. That’s possibly the biggest achievement
so far. We have won almost 14 awards including 3 from
the USA. We have been recognized for many Innovations
in the field of Product application of Bamboo in the field
of Vehicle Bodybuilding, alternative Building materials
etc. Articles had been published on our work in many
countries like Singapore, the USA including India.
What are your upcoming products?
We are bringing in More Sizes, Qualities and alternative

Shapes and Varieties keeping in Mind the functionalities
and the essence of the product and the ethics of the
company. We are entering the personal care Essentials
where the Indian Consumers will have more choice
of alternatives. We are not directly into Soaps. But we
would offer a Soap Dish which is Long-lasting, Aesthetic
and 100% Biodegradable. Even Soap in touch with
Plastic turns acidic.
Why not an alternative at an affordable
rate?
We are also coming up with High-end Kitchen and
Home Needs Articles which is available to consumers in
Western Countries.
We are now looking forward to wooden, Stone and
Earthen alternatives in this arena. We request our
consumers to wait for the next big launches.

Top 1
What is Seagrass?
Algal biomass is widely regarded as the most reliable
source for addressing many well-known issues such as
starvation, carbon emissions, and fossil fuel depletion.
It is quickly gaining traction as one of the most
potential long-term biomass and oil sources. Seagrass’
main goal is to increase the production and availability
of the most important algal biomass to combat
malnutrition and create a sustainable environment.
Seagrass Technologies Private Ltd has identified
the potential of establishing an industry focused
on eliminating barriers to nutrition within the
country’s food supply, as well as raising awareness of
the product’s enormous nutritional benefits and the
importance of the algal biomass venture market in
India and abroad.
Their unique creations
Seagrass has created a patent-pending system for
cultivating three major marine algae, particularly
the Dunaliella salina (DS) microalgae, a challenging
marine species that produces a high concentration
of β-carotene for antioxidant and nutritional food
additives. The plant hastens greenhouse gas reduction,
which keeps the product’s quality high. Seagrass has
devised a technique for harvesting contaminant-free
biomass that is automated along with solar technology
that is integrated for energy conservation. This marine
algae biomass is produced from certified, quality-
tested food-grade pond liners.
In Tsunami-affected areas, technology has been
optimized to employ non-cultivable land with optimal
utilization of renewable algae culture. Under outside
conditions, the platform was tailored to grow three of
the most valuable Marine Micro Algae species using a
patented growth process.
Their current study focuses on LED Stress Studies
to improve product yield and quality. Their main
technological platform provides cutting-edge
cultivating methods that boost crop capacity while
lowering production expenses.
This harvesting technology grows marine microalgae
using non-potable water, such as seawater, and non-
arable land.
22 JULY 2021 SwiftNLift
24. Why choose Seagrass?
Seagrass is the FIRST business in India (and Southeast
Asia) that uses saltwater to generate the three
additional Marine Micro Algae. They’ve developed a
proprietary technology for cultivating ALL three major
marine algae, particularly the Dunaliella salina (DS)
micro-algae.
Applications of the algae
This algal product has found application in a variety
of different other products such as antioxidant and
nutritional food supplements, pigments and oils
for nutraceuticals (Omega 3 EPA/DHA), natural
cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, animal feeds, fertilizers,
bio-fuels, and bio-plastics.
Their Goal
The company’s goal is to develop technologies to
develop high-value-added algae “green” products that
are scalable, profitable, and sustainable around the
world.
Their commitment
With strong quality control systems and processes,
they promise to deliver quality-certified algal
biomass. For safety and quality, they promise to offer
product grading and certification from industry-
leading test labs. They only use approved harvesting
and farming procedures that meet international
standards. To develop a broader understanding and

nnovation keeps on progressing across worldwide
enterprises, advanced mechanics holds the way to
expanded exactness, accuracy, and cost reserve
funds. In any case, advanced mechanics may likewise
assume a significant part in the domain of energy
manageability. This is particularly obvious when one
thinks about the natural advantages of robotization.
Taking out perilous positions, truth be told, is a critical
component in the fate of advanced mechanics and
automated cycle robotization. Automated help has
effectively started to supplant various high-hazard
occupations, for example, sequential construction
system and blue-collar positions, and clinical lab
specialists. Occupations in the elective energy area may
simply be the following business on the automated help
radar.
Energy efficiency: challenges and benefits
Coordinating mechanical technology into the elective
energy industry accompanies various difficulties. One
of the biggest is simply the current force lattice, basically
intended to ship energy from huge force plants running
off of “messy” sources like gaseous petrol and coal. In
this way, most of the u.s. power network is obsolete and
in genuine need of an upgrade before elective energy
can be really coordinated as a suitable wellspring of
force.
Researchers concur that new ways to deal with power
network configuration are important to drive the
energy business into what’s to come. Thus called keen
force matrices may give the appropriate response, by
coordinating different sustainable power sources and
assisting service organizations with lessening blackouts.

segments in the more prominent image of energy
effectiveness.
As right on time as 2011, specialists hypothesized the
manners by which mechanical technology could help
withasupportableturnofevents.Whilerecognizingthat
“mechanical technology is frequently connected with an
impractical financial model,” specialists guido bugmann
and mel siegel inferred that the business likewise gives
subjective advantages towards maintainability. Further,
they found that advanced mechanics is a valuable
instrument for squandering decrease, expanding food
creation yields, and overseeing elective force age units.
Advanced mechanics and the “green”
movement
Regardless, it is in the domain of sun oriented energy
that mechanical help may demonstrate the most useful.
First of all, the sunlight based energy age cycle can be
computerized, and in this manner smoothed out, with
assistance from mechanical technology. Robots can
likewise perform vital undertakings that are risky for
people, for example, eliminating dust from sun based
cells. The work of residue evacuation is indispensable
to the most extreme yield of sun powered energy
frameworks, particularly in dust-inclined locales like
africa and america’s desert southwest.
Mechanical help may likewise assist with safeguarding
regular assets while further developing proficiency. For
instance, because of the danger to salmon populaces at
dams in the Pacific Northwest, the pacific northwest
national laboratory (pnnl) has adopted a creative
strategy.
When lowered, the mechanical sensor fish then gather
information, for example, water pressing factor and
direction. It is trusted that the data accumulated by
sensor fish “can assist with damming specialists and
administrators plan and oversee hydropower plants in
a more fish-accommodating way,” composes geekwire.
Would robotics be able to live up to the
hype?
Obviously, hydropower is just a little piece of the general
depiction of energy maintainability. As we have seen,
shrewd force lattices may keep a portion of the mystery
out of the force framework, diminishing blackouts and
furnishing clients with continuous information about
their energy utilization propensities.
What’s more, without robotization, this sort of
advancement wouldn’t be conceivable. Accordingly, the
field of mechanical interaction computerization (rpa)
has smoothed out various ventures, filling in as the
archetype to robotization. In 2020 and past, mechanical
help is moving past rpa and can assist with filling the
push for broad energy maintainability. It might even
give an answer for battling the impacts of environmental
change.

Revolutionary Software For
Controlling Airtreatment
Installations

Top 1
What is Climotion?
Climotion provides a full range of services for the
design and implementation of a BaOpt installation,
as well as serving as a knowledge hub for advisers,
installers, and measurement and control technology
firms.
The need for Climotion
Air treatment and ventilation are becoming
increasingly important in producing a comfortable
working and living environment. Air treatment not
only assures comfort, but it also helps to a building’s
energy efficiency.
A directed stream is created with traditional air
treatment, which then arduously mingles both the
supplied air and the current air. High, continual
airstreams are required to keep the system running,
which is far from comfortable. Temperature
inconsistency, filthy air spaces, and - most dreaded by
building occupants - a cold draught are all well-known
issues. Users complain about the working environment
in more than half of all Dutch offices.
The remedy is as straightforward as it is effective.
Rather than managing a directed air stream, the
BaOpt system manages an undirected stream that
flawlessly blends the supplied air with the ambient air.
Warmth below the ceiling and cold above the floor are
no longer an issue because the entire space is of the
same quality and temperature, removing any form of
directed air streams and thus eliminating cold drafts
BaOpt
BaOpt control eliminates unfavourable working
conditions and can be used on a much larger scale.
Museums employ BaOpt to keep their collections
in top condition, horticulturists use it to improve
vegetable growth conditions, and professional ice
skaters use it to get the best ice and faster lap times.
The best part about BaOpt is that it saves a lot of
energy: we carry less air and make better use of the air
we already have, lowering energy consumption by at
least 25%.
28 JULY 2021 SwiftNLift
30. Methods of BaOpt Installation
Climotion Software can be connected into a building
in a variety of ways for a single and double air supply
ducts. One of the company’s partners may programme
Climotion directly on a PLC in circumstances
where PLC-based solutions (Programmable Logic
Controllers) are desired. The partner provides
programming, commissioning, monitoring, and
optimization services in addition to the Climotion
software.
Their systematic approach
All members of the company unanimously function by
embracing three dimensions:
Advice
The Climotion system allows for a more versatile
installation layout. A consultant or designing
installer’s specific skill is required for maximum
results. They also provide the option of having
certain components of a design examined as an
add-on to their designer training programme. This
comprises grid selection, measurement equipment
placement determination, and determining the
appropriate supply air temperature.
Audit
Complex technology combinations are used in
today’s architectural installations. They can add
a lot of comfort, but they don’t always work the
way a client wants them to. Climotion allows
such clients to quickly and effectively address any
comfort difficulties caused by humidity, draughts,
or temperature changes between rooms. However,
a well functional installation is still required. The
client may rely on the company’s knowledge when
problems develop with current Climotion software
installations. Their ‘audit’ entails a thorough
examination of their installation as well as potential
remedies to any issues that are discovered.
Training
Climotion can expertly complete projects from
start to completion thanks to their many years of
experience. They achieve this in a variety of ways,
one of which is through providing various training
programmes. This includes training consultants and
installation company personnel who will oversee
a Climotion project or implement the Climotion
system.

Abhinav Talwar
CEO At Vasshin Composites
30 JULY 2021 SwiftNLift
32. Their identity
Vasshin is an environmental engineering
firm dedicated to establishing a community
of people who are committed to living a
sustainable lifestyle. They produce a wide
selection of bio-based and bio-degradable
items that assist to reduce the use of plastic
and, as a result, remove it from landfills.
Their Goals
Its mission is to be the firm that makes
environmentally friendly choices at
affordable costs so that future generations
can enjoy the world. They encourage
the widespread adoption of resource
consumption patterns that are both
economically and environmentally sound.
For that purpose, Vasshin has created a one-
of-a-kind selection of Eco-Friendly, Anti-
Microbial Tableware.
Their Core Values
They are conscious of the gradual commerce
involved in the transformation of pine
needles into their products. They shed light
on three core principles:
■ Industry– They put forth a lot of effort to
create items that make a difference.
■ Natural– They attempt to incorporate
as much nature as possible into their
products.
■ Experiment - They invite people to
explore with materials to discover new
ways to be more sustainable.
The Inception
The Himalayan Pines, a sturdy tree
species located on the rugged slopes of the
Himalayas, is the source of many Anti-
microbial compounds. These trees shed their
pine needles and cones, choking off any
vegetation and limiting flora opportunities.
Vasshin collects these pine needles through
their tribal empowerment initiative and
combines them with resin to produce
sustainable everyday products.
The dry accumulation of these pine needles
catches fire every 3-4 years. According
to the Forest Department’s preliminary
information reports, a large number of
ground-dwelling uncommon and precious
flora has been lost. Not only that but
numerous baby animals are killed because
they are unable to flee.
The fallout is just as bad. Forest fires heat the
soil to a depth of 7-10 cm, causing it to lose
its water-holding capacity. Excess ammonia
produced in ash causes excessive emissions
and soil nitrification.
As a result of Vasshin’s formulations, they
can reduce the carbon footprint and keep
everyone healthy as well as trap massive
amounts of carbon through the preservation
of forest carbon sinks.
Their Unique Products
Although they manufacture many nature-
friendly biodegradable products one stands
out. Their new Storage Container with
Longer Shelf Life is one such product.
Vasshin Agro Composites now offers 1litre
containers that not only give elegance to
your kitchen shelf with their lovely texture
but are also durable. Furthermore, these
containers enhance the shelf life of your
31
JULY2021 SwiftNLift
33. items by utilizing the power of pine needles.
The material has been laboratory tested to
ISO/JIS standards and improves cleanliness
by resisting mold, fungus, bacteria, and the
like, guaranteeing that your food store is safe
and lasts longer.
Their product’s bio-based is made out of
genuine Himalayan Pine Needles, and each
purchase not only prevents up to 50 kilos
of virgin plastic from entering landfills but
also helps to avoid forest fires, conserving
valuable flora and fauna.
Vasshin’s Agro Composites products are
constructed of genuine Himalayan pine
needles and help to prevent forest fires in the
Himalayas.
All of their items are food-safe and BPA-
free and have been tested to meet FDA and

Abhinav Talwar, Co-Founder
His inspiration to start a nature-friendly
company comes from his childhood
experiences. Forest fires are ubiquitous in a
dry region like Dagshai, Himachal where he
grew up. He recalls seeing enormous flames
engulfing the vegetation when he was seven
years old. These trees used to drop their pine
needles in the summer. They would readily
catch fire, destroying the entire ecology. This
led him to understand the massive loss of
life, especially as a result of these wildfires.
The environment and the rich ecosystem of
northern India are being harmed by these
fires. That was something that worried
him as a kid. As a result, he founded an
environmental engineering firm to protect
the natural ecosystem while simultaneously
assisting consumers in replacing plastic
in everyday utilities. The goal has always
been to provide environmentally friendly
packaging.
