For CreativeMornings Bengaluru talk #106 themed Blossom, Sciencepreneur Ravishankar Bhat talked about about how ideas bloom into impact - by sharing his experience bridging research and entrepreneurship as COO of Biological Research Innovation Centre and Solutions.
Ravishankar first shed light on his areas of research over the years that largely focused on the biosynthesis of metal nanoparticles for application in the pharma industry including anti-cancer studies. Research itself being time consuming taught him patience and perseverence. Coupled with his background growing up in a biodiversity rich region, Bhat's ethically responsibility led him to start a venture centred around sustainability and societal well being.
BRICS was started in 2015 to cater to the agri industry and promote terrace gardening and traditional pesticide free produce, eventually addressing various environmental issues like soil and water health. Reseach on safe reintroduction of grey water back into the soil led them to come up with a range of eco friendly, non toxic cleaning products that not only add value to natural resources like reetha and shikakai, but also benifit local communities. Their formulation development and production strategy has evolved over a decade and is now an easily available and economical alternative to chemical based products.
Though wider outreach would help BRICS benefit more people, their idea of scale embraces slow growth, promoting an overall lifestyle of sustainability rather than profit oriented impact.

Soapnuts (Sapindus Mukorossi) are grown in India and Nepal, harvested in a sustainable way in October from 15m high trees. The soapnuts are sticky and golden in colour when removed changing to reddish brown when dried. Soapnut shells contain saponin (a natural detergent) and when they come in contact with water they make mild suds. Soapnuts are a natural, organic, environmentally friendly alternative to soap, detergent and shampoo.

Kati bought a few days ago some soap nuts. Yep - nuts that are used instead of soap when washing clothes. They are said to be environmental friendly, gentle for your skin, can be used several times, etc..
This is how we are trying to save the planet. Treehuggers.
A bag of soap nuts that can wash your clothing in an environmentally friendly way. Traditional detergents can pollute riverways and wildlife, while these are a natural way to clean your clothing. They contain the natural cleanser saponin. These small fruits can also be composted once they've cleaned your clothes.
Natural saponins in soap nuts provide a chemical-free method of cleaning and deodorizing your laundry. Just toss a bag of soapnuts into your washer, add a scoop of baking soda and several drops of essential oils and you never have to buy mystery detergent again!
