ReMaterials

Company: ReMaterials
Sector: Waste Management
Founders: Hasit Ganatra (University of Southern California Alumni)

ReMaterials is an Ahmedabad-based startup that has developed an affordable, durable and environmental friendly roofing solution called ModRoof. The panels are made of a new wood-like material that is made entirely out of waste materials like cardboard and agricultural waste. The raw materials are currently sourced locally in Ahmedabad.

The manufacturing process involves a crushing stage, then a mixing stage, then a compression stage, drying stage and waterproofing stage. ReMaterials has designed the roof system in a way that makes it easy to transport, install and maintain. The roof panels can last over 20 years with minimal maintenance, according to the company. Not only is ModRoof durable, it is waterproof and fireproof and has heat insulating properties. Now they have prototyped solar cells integrated into ModRoof panels. Solar ModRoof panels can power LED lights and charge cell phones, adding to the long-term value of ModRoof ownership.

Carbon Clean Solutions

In this series, I will be posting about all the Start-ups in the field of Chemical Engineering for you all to get inspired and look out for!  Here is the 1st company I found while my start-up hunt:

Company: Carbon Clean Solutions
Sector: Renewables, CO2 Capture
Founder: Aniruddha Sharma (CEO), Prateek Bumb (CTO) ; IIT Kharagpur Almuni

Carbon Clean Solutions (CCS) is an innovation leader in carbon dioxide (CO₂) separation technology for industrial and gas treating applications with an aim to provide customized low cost, energy efficient solutions for carbon dioxide separation.

CCS was founded in 2009 with the aim to develop new solvents for carbon dioxide separation with a focus on flue gases from power and industrial utilities. In 2010, Company raised equity funding from global set of investors to establish dedicated research and bench scale testing facility. In 2012, CCS expanded globally and signed research & development agreement with TNO (Dutch Organization for Applied Scientific Research) based in the Netherlands. As of January 2013, CCS now operates in India, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Patented carbon capture technology developed by Carbon Clean Solutions, involves capturing carbon dioxide using proprietary regenerable solvent. The flue gas discharged from the chimney is extracted from the existing stack and fed to the CCS unit through a flue gas duct. After cleaning the gas, it is passed through a cyclic absorption-desorption process for capturing CO₂.

They recently did a project with Tuticorin alkali and chemical fertilizers to produce soda ash with captured CO2. Way to go!

Internship at Council of Scientific and Industrial Research - National Chemical Laboratory (CSIR-NCL)

For Chemical Engineering, CSIR-NCL is the best if you desire a research based internship.

Here you've got to email the scientists of your research area of interest. They do respond, but it is much easier to get an internship if any of your professors has a personal contact.

From the NCL website, identify a division, group, or a scientist with whom you would like to work. Send an e-mail to the concerned person, attaching your resume and seeking his willingness to accept you at CSIR- NCL .
 If you can not decide by yourself regarding your placement, please send a mail to Dr. A.A. Arbale (aa.arbale@ncl.res.in), along with your resume. He will assist you in the placement. You will get a response, regarding acceptance or otherwise from the scientist who is wiling to accept you.


Here is the link wherein you get details of all scientists with their research area of interest along with their email IDs : Scientist Profiles

An internship with Teach for India

If you get this internship people, this will be your one of the mega weapons you can use during your MBA applications. Trust me, this name will make a lot of difference.

So you cannot apply to the TFI fellowship or couldn't get through the strict application process of Teach for India? You can always compensate by doing an internship or volunteering which will make your resume shine as well!

But one thing is for sure- any type of association with TFI will change you for the good both professionally and personally. It will be at least one of your most cherishable experiences of your life. The place is challenging and demanding.

Here is the link to apply: Teach for India Careers
The email ID to be used or applying is given on each job page.

Being an ex-intern myself, here are some tips:

1. I had applied through a leading internship portal, so I directly received a call from HR for a phone interview which lasted for 45 minutes (the HR team is good, Beware!)
2. Make sure you go very carefully through the Job Description of the opportunity that you are applying for. They will ask you about how much you know regarding that.
3. Always think of examples which stress on how you have got the skills that are required  for your opportunity. They will ask you how you performed in those situations and cross question too.
4. They will ask you situational questions wherein you've got to answer how you will react/perform. Go through their key values, vision, mission and careers page to find what kind of people they hire. Team work must be highlighted.
5. Also, knowing local language is preferable, and of course, you must have a personality that kids would love!
