00:04My name is Sanjay Komera. I am Axel One American company CEO and Axel One is primarily a climate
00:13engineering company focused on solving pollution problems like what we are seeing at Delhi.
00:25I come from IT for almost 22 years. I did a digital transformation in the US and then I started
00:35Axel One
00:37because I was always passionate about solving bigger problems and right now around the world
00:44the biggest problem is sustainability primarily on pollution and the water. So I founded this
00:51company four years back. I came to know about India today's solution or our initiative on pollution
01:04ka solution and very happy to kind of talk to you to talk to India today today and more importantly
01:15we will go there and hopefully whatever India today is pursuing on pollution ka solution
01:26becomes a reality very soon. Delhi has got a lot of greenery and in spite of that you know it
01:33is one
01:33of the highest polluted cities around the world so when I you know when I've been spending almost
01:41three months in Delhi and primarily what I have seen is we need a lot at ground level analytics
01:47ground level information on long go chahiye ki kya kya pollutants hai kyun itna pollution
01:52ho raha hai kaun say streets hai jis mein jada pollution hai
01:55narasi gaza kya kya kya kya около 24 hours. We are now in Rajgatthi in the next place.
02:04The new technology implementation is made the first time in Delhi, the first time in India,
02:11the first time in India, the first time in the world and the first time in Delhi.
02:13And glad to have brought it to Delhi so we did testing Rajgatthi. Rajgatthi in the next
02:18Almost last four weeks, we have deployed about 23 poles.
02:24I would call it as the world's first climate environmental node.
02:30Basically, the idea behind that was, you know,
02:33we have all these street lights that don't do anything, right,
02:36except giving you the light.
02:37So what we thought was, primarily cities like Delhi requires
02:41pollution control at street level.
02:44So what we thought was, why don't we convert the traditional street lights
02:48into the urban street lights.
02:50So, if you are watching,
02:53it has got almost four-in-one function built into it.
02:57The primary, biggest function is environmental cleaning.
03:02So it actually tells you,
03:03how many pollution levels are,
03:06and also it tells you how much of pollution reduction
03:09the individual street light has done every day.
03:13So you see the metrics every five minutes, it's real-time data.
03:25We call it direct air capture technology.
03:28Direct air, layman terms,
03:30the air goes through the filtration process,
03:35and the multi-level filtration process,
03:38so you have water from the outside.
03:44And the mist operation, we just added,
03:47looking at Delhi,
03:48the dust levels are increased,
03:50so mist is definitely helpful to reduce your dust levels.
03:53Which are PM10 and PM2.5.
03:58We have security surveillance built into the pole,
04:01and we have solar, this entire pole is solar powered and in future all the
04:07poles will be renewable powered. So technically a net zero pole will be in
04:12future. And also this has Wi-Fi, every pole has got Wi-Fi built into it. In
04:17future our goal is to kind of connect people with the infrastructure that we
04:23will be laying on the ground. So our initial calculations are looking at
04:32the air flow with the fan. So every pole can support clean air to 2000
04:39people per day. So that's a mathematical calculation and we would be happy to
04:45share that with you guys on how we have done the calculations. So that's
04:49assume that every pole gives clean air to 2,000 people per day.
05:01I will show you right now how beautiful it looks in the night.
