I attended Let's Talk Climate expecting a conversation about climate action and storytelling. Instead, an interactive mock trial led me back to memories from hospital wards, conversations with patients and caregivers, and lessons that have stayed with me for years. The experience was a reminder that climate change is not only about emissions, policies, and science. It is also about people, communities, health, dignity, and the stories we carry long after the headlines fade.
A three-hour Climate Party conversation with ProClime unexpectedly became a deep dive into invasive alien species, biochar economics, carbon market realities, ecosystem services, and the hidden operational complexity behind “high-integrity” climate projects. From tiger habitats threatened by Lantana camara to the infrastructure-heavy reality of biomass carbon credits, the discussion revealed how climate work is rarely just about carbon — it is about ecology, livelihoods, governance, biodiversity, finance, and the invisible systems connecting all of them together.
What does it really take to build a venture-scale company in a world that refuses to stay predictable?

Across clean energy, resilience, finance, and circularity, the focus shifted from intent to systems readiness.
This reflection captures what it will take for India’s climate ambition to translate into real-world delivery.
A reflection from inside FICCI’s TANENERGY Summit 2025 on how India is thinking about energy beyond silos.
From nuclear and renewables to AI, grids, and geopolitics, the conversations pointed to systems, not slogans.
And they made one thing clear: Tamil Nadu is becoming central to India’s energy future.
30 years after Michael Jackson’s Earth Song, and as COP30 begins — the question’s still the same: “What about us?” :earth_africa:
Here’s my review of Backstage Climate by Rajan Mehta — a book connecting science, politics, psychology, and justice through a systemic, intersectional lens — showing how we triggered the Anthropocene, how we’re living inside it, and how we might just survive it.
At The Hindu Sustainability Summit 2025, one message stood out: the future isn’t fossil-free, it’s efficiency-first. From green refineries to tertiary water reuse, Tamil Nadu is quietly building India’s blueprint for circular progress.
