What if your city’s roads could save water instead of wasting it?
In Coimbatore’s Race Course Road, smart drains made from recycled plastic are doing just that by harvesting rainwater and reducing floods.
Meet EcoBloc, the game-changing Indian innovation that has already saved over 50 million litres and counting.

A friend of mine left his 25 lpa+ job to become a Swiggy / Rapido driver. And no I'm not joking.
His parents called me asking me to talk sense into him, crying literally. He was going to get married next year. And just bought a car.
I spoke with him, and the reason shocked me. He lives near a university that host a bunch of students and office workers.
He is quitting his job to start a cloud kitchen with his 6 month runway, but he wanted to learn his menu before starting it.
In order to learn which food his locality liked most, he became a food delivery boy for a few weeks.
Now he has 12 SKUs in mind he can sell for cheap at high volume and his model shows he can start getting profits in 3-4 months.
His parents are still against it. And apparently many of his friends have made fun of his decision.
He has been telling me stories of how even watchmen will now scream at him like a sub human just because he's using a lift instead of stairs.
But he is still going through with it, and I support him 100%. I just hope it pans out well for him.
