At @Rainmatterin, we invested about Rs 275 crores in 47 startups last year. It may seem like we're investing in too many startups, but we aren't a typical VC and don't function like one. We don't take board seats, have no exit clauses, and have a perennial structure (patient capital)—that is, we are in it for the long term.
We may be early, but our thesis right now is that climate and health will be megatrends of the future. Considering that we think of Rainmatter as one way of giving forward, we want to back founders working on helping Indians be healthier and making the planet more livable.
Anyways, what is the use of the money if the planet we live on is destroyed and our health is ruined? 😬

A Muslim mob almost lynched Raveena Tandon for 'hitting' a burkha-clad woman. Look at how traumatized she is in the video.
But now CCTV footage shows that her car never touched the woman; they just wanted to bully her. If they can do this to a celebrity, who are you?
@deepakshenoy@akshayprabhu200 Agree, but things are changing & case in point is Singapore where 1/3rd stp water is mixed with 2/3 of fresh water, it is more of mindset issue. 1st step, treat 100% wastewater to reduce stress on fresh water, which is not happening.
@deepakshenoy@akshayprabhu200 I can shed light on this and we are doing new model on STP management. UrbanSaaS - Urban STP As A Service. Please feel free to connect.
@deepakshenoy RWA/Commercial bldgs need to fix their wastewater treatment plants & run them at 100% capacity, that will reduce load on fesh water need. In long-term mix of solution can only alleviate this problem. P.S. I am informed that 80%+ WWTP systems are dysfunctional/under performing.
