Tvasta: A Final Year Project Became a World-Class Industrial 3D Printing based Concrete House Construction Company

Dear Friends and Students

*A 600 sqft house constructed in 3 weeks & for half cost in IITM Campus by IITM 2016 batch Mechanical Students and later became the Co-Founders of Tvasta* (Parivarthan Reddy, Adithya Jain, Santhosh Kumar, and Vidyashankar C)- https://tvasta.construction/about-us/.

*Input:* 2D Building Plan

*Output:* 3D Printed House

*Material Input*: Proprietary Concrete Mix developed by the Team, Lighter, Stronger, Sustainable, Less Carbon footprint

*Material /People Not Required*: No Bricks, No temporary structure (scaffolding), Less Labour

*Traditional Method:* Concrete Setting Time: 21 – 48 days

*3D Printing Process*- Green Strength in a few minutes and Structure Ready by 7-10 days

* Tvasta’s Concrete 3D Printer*: Make in India by Avant Grade Systems

* Tvasta’s Digital Construction Modeling Platform*: A Proprietary Tool developed to serve as a reliable connection between the technological elements of the Civil Engineering Industry and the field of construction 3D printing

Friends, Approx. 600 million people are expected to make urban India their home by 2031, a whopping 59% increase from 2011. Micro-Apartments are futuristic. Additively Manufactured Houses (3D Printing) is the solution. It reduces labor costs as low as 1/5th when compared to traditional construction practices.

*Look at the statement*: 2000 sqft house, less than week construction (1/8 of time for the functional house), creates only 1/3rd of the waste than the traditional process, allowing the architect to explore more complex structural designs, 20% of the standard cost. Is it interesting?

*Future Potential:* 3D printing construction to reach $56.4 million by 2021! Is it Promising?

*Appeal to Final Year Engineering Students*:

Tvasta is an outcome of a Final Year Mechanical Engineering Project!! Now we are Dec 2020. It is time for the selection of your final year projects. Please plan something futuristic!! Please don’t compromise on the quality of the project.

Who knows, it becomes bread for your future!! Hope You agree with me. Wish your final year project becomes another Tvasta! Even if you get *CAMPUS PLACEMENT*, request you to keep the best possible efforts and bring great solutions out of your final year project.

Your well-wisher

Google is going to Make You More Responsible and Your Language More Respectable!

Dear Friends and Students

Is it sounding great! Yes, Google is going to set your language standards! Google is going to correct your hateful or negative behavior! Google is going to encourage Content developers with more positive or constructive comments! 

*Shortly Google is going to bring in a feature which tells users to be more respectful when they post a comment on any video on YouTube*

I read another article on *“How Trolls Are Ruining the Internet”*. It made an important definition-*The people who relish this online freedom are called trolls, a term that originally came from a fishing method online thieves use to find victims*. These trolls are increasing their intensity from demotivating to vulgar, to obscene, to threats, etc. This is not a good sign. The world of content is revolutionizing education and communication. At the same time, this kind of negative content derails the whole spirit and takes us back to the stone age.

“A Pew Research Center survey published two years ago found that 70% of 18-to-24-year-olds who use the Internet had experienced harassment, and 26% of women said they’d been stalked online”. *The key traits of trolls are: narcissism, psychopathy, sadism*, etc. (source: https://time.com/4457110/internet-trolls/)

*Proposal to Google or Facebook or Twitter or any Giant Content Transmission Organizations*

Before the Internet era, this kind of negativity was limited or contained locally, never used to spread outside the sphere. However, the Internet has changed the behavior. Any negativity spreads at a speed of 100 times more than positivity.

It is good to see a wonderful initiative from Google, warning users before submitting message. I have a proposal: *Same software can be extended to every article, every image, every communication on the internet- Maybe Google can do the sentiment analysis and give a rating on the right top of the article. Finally, it becomes the user’s discretion, how they want to view or use that content. This concept is already used in Movie Content (e.g. Only for Adults, or for 18+ Years, etc.)*.

*Similarly, every article or message should have the Sentiment Number displayed (Positive Content, Neutral Content, Negative Content)*. Using Machine Learning, this sentiment analysis becomes more smart based on individual users, particular websites or particular groups, etc.

This kind of software spreads more positivity, universal brotherhood, and happiness! Thank You, Google for the great initiative. We look forward to the implementation of the above proposal too.

Your well-wisher

Moment of Indian Pride! A Teacher is Teaching the World about Happiness in Giving! The Giving Pledge by the Founder of the Award, inspired by Teaching-Family

Dear Friends and Students

It is a proud moment for the entire Indian teaching community. *A village Govt. Zilla Parishad Primary School teacher (Ranjitsinh Disale, Paritewadi, Solapur, Maharashtra, India) won the US $1 million (whopping 7 crores) Global Teacher Prize 2020!* This is the *First Achievement!*.

He made history by sharing half of this amount (3.5 crores) with the other 9 finalists. This is the *Second Achievement*.

*Another Interesting Aspect in the Award Constitution and Happiness in Giving*. To know more, You must know about * Sunny Varkey*

As you know that this award is given by Varkey Foundation! *Surprisingly Varkey Foundation founder is an Indian Origin Philanthropist.*

*Sunny Varkey is a Founder of the Global Teacher Prize!* His parents were both teachers (source: hindustantimes). He is born in Ranni, Kerala, in 1957. His family migrated to Dubai in 1959 from Kerala. They opened a school in Dubai for Indian ex-pats. However, Sunny and his sister studied in India till 1970 and later moved to Dubai. He faced hardship while he was studying in India.

Sunny Varkey is the founder and Chairman of global advisory and educational management firm *GEMS Education*, which is the largest operator of private kindergarten-to-grade-12 schools in the world, with a network of 52 schools in 4 countries. Today Sunny is a billionaire but The Giving Pledge is in-built in his heart!

*Is it not a pride moment for all of us as the Award Donor and Award Winner are running a common thread- Happiness in Giving!!*

Ranjitsinh Disale, was recognized for his efforts for promoting girls' education and triggering a *Quick-Response (QR) Coded Textbook Revolution in India* (en.unesco.org).

*Proposal to Teachers:*

Ranjitsinh could do this great effort while teaching in a remote village. He created the QR revolution for NCERT books!

*If one Ranjitsinh can make the difference, we have 1 crore teachers across India*. 87 lakh teachers are teaching in schools! Our teacher population is equivalent to Sweden or UAE or Hungary or Austria type of country’s population. What kind of wonders we can make if every teacher acts like Ranjitsinh!!

Ek Baar Sochiye!

Teachers, *Applications and Nominations for the 2021 Prize will open online in January 2021.* Please apply at https://www.globalteacherprize.org/

I made this Wooden Fan. Can you Please Make me go Viral! The Best of Prototyping Ability and Social Media Strategy!

Dear Friends and Students


Today I received the above picture from one of my LinkedIn contacts! We need to appreciate this from multiple aspects. *First, if you closely observe the picture, the prototype is on an industrial scale. A Fan manufacturer develops such prototypes as part of their Design Thinking Process (Empathy, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test). Second, a humble boy is appealing. I am assuming he developed it on his own. Third, the social media caption! It became viral!*

India declared 2011-2020 as Innovation Decade! We are at the flag end of the decade (Dec 2020). There is a lot of work to be done. We need to promote Grassroots Innovators. They are the backbone of our country’s innovation growth.

National Innovation Foundation is working towards this cause. Every year NIF is conducting IGNITE awards. *You all must visit the following NIF website and appreciate these kids’ creative power*. Let me share 2019 IGNITE award ideas. Congratulations to all the following winners and their creative ideas.

Solar ironing cart, Vinisha Umashankar; Visually challenged friendly toilets, Baibhav Parida; Expandable food plate, Padmashree G.; Insect killing dustbin, Tanmay Kumar Sethi; Modified broom with dust collector for cleaning the ceiling, Swadha Krishn; Plate with inbuilt detachable glass, Vishwa Goswami; Quick finger duster for whiteboards, Archit Aryaman; Fast drying shoes, Devjit Prasad Majhi; Intelligent staircase, Anuj Mishra; Innovative shading tool for drawing, Raktim Das; Easy cleaning water tank, Sidhant Kumar; Stapler for leaf plate making, Suyash Patel; Spill-proof Kaangri, Asim Sikandar Mir; Perspiration absorbing shoe, Syeeda Banoo; Sickle housing first aid kit, Kishan Hanuji Thakor; Sleep-walking detector and preventer, Shivam Amritesh; Semi-automatic flower garland maker and packer, Surya A.J., Venkateswaran S. and Venuram R.R;

Like this, they are giving awards from 2008 onwards. These are real business ideas. They have every potential to commercialize.

*Proposal to Schools: Every school should have one weekly session (3 hours session) on Design Thinking. Currently, it is introduced in Engineering. However, it has to be introduced at the 8th Std level itself. This becomes a game-changer in taking the innovation mission forward*

Your Well-Wisher

All these years I thought Bata is an Indian Company! Is it my Ignorance or Powerful Brand Penetration of Bata? Excellent Case Study to Read!

Dear Friends and Students

I have been wearing Bata products for decades. I always thought it is a local brand till I read the story of Sandeep Kataria (49), Indian CEO of Bata elevated as Global CEO.

 *Just to give you the background of Sandeep*, did his Chemical Engineering from IIT Delhi (1987-91), PGDBM from XLRI (1991-93). Started with Kimberly-Clark Lever Pvt. Ltd as Brand Manager, Hindustan Lever, Unilever, Pizzahut UK, Yum Restaurants as CMO, Vodaphone Director, Bata India CEO for the last 3.5 years!

Coming back to Bata's story, it is a Switzerland-headquartered footwear major! *It is founded by Tomas Bata in 1894, a Czech entrepreneur often called the Henry Ford of the footwear industry. It is a family-owned business.*

 *Can you guess how many pairs Bata produce annually? * It is whopping- 18,00,00,000 (18 crores or 180 million shoes). Do you know how many stores they have? 5,800 stores, 22 manufacturing facilities across 5 continents/70 countries, operated by 35,000 employees.

As we are from India, we have obvious curiosity, *how many are sold in India?* It is 5 crore pairs and they serve 1,20,000 customers every day! It means, 4,38,00,000 (4.3 crores) customers visited yearly.

*How big footwear market across the world?*

Indian market is 2.2 billion pairs per year! It means every person in India buys 2 pairs per year! Do you agree? The global footwear market size was valued at $365.5 billion in 2020 and is estimated to reach $530.3 billion by 2027 (source: alliedmarketresearch.com/footwear-market). It means, worldwide, every person on average spends $52 (3,800 rupees) per year on footwear. Of course, it is not the case with lower-middle and middle-class people. Luxury footwear accounts for most of the pie.

*My Proposal to Tata*

*When Tata is successful in Salt to Steel*, why Tata International (Footwear division of Tata) is not penetrating deep into Indian style footwear? This could be big opportunity right? Tata Group can plan big!

*My Childhood Ignorance!*

In my childhood, I used to think BATA is a TATA company Maybe, the name synonym worked out for Bata in penetrating deep into the Indian market? I may be wrong! Of let, their platform named *Surprisingly Bata* is a super success. Anyways, I appreciate Tomas Bata for establishing an organization, which is still growing after 126 Years of its establishment. Hats off to their Marketing and Branding Strategy!

Congratulations Sandeep Kataria! Wish you success in this new Journey.

*We have a new addition to the Global Indian CEOs list- Arvind Krishna - CEO, IBM Group, Sundar Pichai - CEO, Google LLC & Alphabet INC, Satya Nadella - CEO, Microsoft, Shantanu Narayen - CEO, Adobe Inc., Ajaypal Singh Banga - CEO, Mastercard, Jayshree Ullal - CEO, Arista Networks, Rajeev Suri - CEO, Nokia Inc., George Curian - CEO, NetApp, Nikesh Arora - CEO, Palo Alto Networks, Dinesh C. Paliwal - CEO, Harman International, Sanjay Mehrotra - CEO, Micron Technology, Laxman Narasimhan - CEO, Reckitt Benckiser*

Best wishes to all Indian born CEOs! India going places

Your well-wisher
