Welcome to Solvesustain!

I’m an engineer by training, with about 12 years’ experience in “sustainability problem solving”. I’ve worked on research & development across the sustainable development spectrum, including clean energy, off-grid energy access, water, food-security and community-based work, systemic approaches to climate action, privacy in AI e-governance, and more.

This blog documents my learnings, musings and progress as I go along. I write to explore, imagine, understand, reflect, construct, deconstruct, debate and document the problems, ideas and tools I work with in the field. Some of the writings were published elsewhere. I hope you have an interesting experience, and I invite you to share your comments and ideas for further writings!

About Solvesustain

Founded in 2021, Solvesustain collaboratively researches, designs and develops solutions and models to enable and accelerate sustainable development outcomes. These for-impact approaches cross the spectrum from for-profit to non-profit, including developing scalable business models, theories-of-change, governance models and the design, technology, entrepreneurship and advocacy that accompanies them.

These efforts are facilitated through a collaborative and flexible ‘network’ approach that engages appropriate stakeholders and ecosystem resources to solve for the complexities of the nexus challenges of sustainable development.

Solvesustain is actively collaborating on a portfolio of concept projects with the potential to enable and accelerate sustainable development. These are in various stages of engagement, from early ideation and public discussion, to being under full-swing R&D prototyping and implementation by the collaborating stakeholders.
