Let scale not be the enemy of the sustainability :

logic of the Long Tail, investing in ideas, technologies with limited diffusion,

without that sustainability is threatened

Let small scale innovations be not ignored, they enrich the eco-system for

innovation and entrepreneurship

Incubation of innovative ideas:

• Why so much talk about micro finance but

none about micro venture finance;

creating an ecosystem for start-ups

• Supporting people without connections

Learning from multiple

sources, levels, and channels:

Future sources of learning,

creativity and innovation would

not be restricted to formal

boundaries of organisations.

Polycentric Learning from multiple sources,

levels, and channels:

Page 14: Creative communities innovative individuals anil gupta

Inclusive leadership requires

dealing with dissent and

diversity:

Ownership of future strategies cannot be widespread if the

contribution for creating them is only from a chosen few.

Page 15: Creative communities innovative individuals anil gupta

Building capacity at different

levels requires distribution of

responsibilities.

Page 16: Creative communities innovative individuals anil gupta

Creating networks:

No one organization is likely to possess sufficient

information or knowledge to enable it to achieve its goals

Page 17: Creative communities innovative individuals anil gupta

Shaping future requires working

sometimes without templates:

Integration of different streams of thought and action require incorporation,

assimilation and adaptation of the strengths of each system

Page 18: Creative communities innovative individuals anil gupta

Shadows of sustainable spirit: trying to look for frugal, diverse, resilient and

simultaneous solutions, as nature does all the time

is fed in batches of 40-42 kg along with water (1:0.5) for

extraction by distillation. Adequate heat is applied at the

bottom of the vessel by LPG stove.

• The essence from aloe vera is evaporated and is collected

in a separate vessel after getting condensed and the

viscous residue left in the vessel is like a gel which is

collected from the bottom outlet and zilactin is added @1

A problem unsolved, but not any more

Page 47: Creative communities innovative individuals anil gupta
Page 48: Creative communities innovative individuals anil gupta

Frugality is thus imperative, it is not a

choice

Page 49: Creative communities innovative individuals anil gupta

Learning from nature

• Can we learn from common people while

designing services and products for

vertical and horizontal supply chain?

• Has frugality of nature has some thing to

do with our own need to be frugal?

Page 50: Creative communities innovative individuals anil gupta

Reducing footprint

• The design of packaging material, shelves, transportation system and consumption patterns will undergo a change once different circles of production and consumption exchanges / networks are visualized over space and time.

• Thus, only for long term and long distance consumption, one would use sturdy packaging material.

• There will be another interesting spillover effect. Once we start modifying the logistical chain, the community markets will start becoming competitive. Face to face interaction among consumers and producers will take place more often. The whole politics of regional and sectoral development will undergo a change.

Page 51: Creative communities innovative individuals anil gupta

• The proximal

transactions do

not have to be

analyzed through

the prisms of

remote supply

chains.

Page 52: Creative communities innovative individuals anil gupta

Multi-functionality:

• Higher the multi-functionality, lesser the waste and better the resource utilization. Most cultures in developing countries are multi-functional in their orientation.

• The skills, resources and tools for multi functional designs are quite different from the ones needed for specialized and single function goods and services. There is a higher redundancy, resource wastage and consumption of energy.

• Multi functional devices and services may be able to build much higher feedback loops and thus reduce waste, ensure higher stability and justify better quality consumption.

Page 53: Creative communities innovative individuals anil gupta

Diversity of design

• Idea is to provide information to the consumer about degree of biodiversity in the habitats from which raw materials are sourced.

• Since vegetative colours may not always be uniform, the consumer preferences will have to molded to prefer variable colours. Just as markets created preference for uniform colour, taste, shape, texture, etc., the challenge in future is to do the opposite.

• While doing so, the packaging and transporting logistics would have to be adapted to the new needs.

Page 54: Creative communities innovative individuals anil gupta

• A whole range of technological innovations will be needed, for instance, to package the diverse fruits, vegetables and other materials. Human needs and preferences for a sustainable world must guide and trigger technological innovations and consequent supply chains and logistical arrangements and not the other way around.

Time for re-definition of our logistical goals has come.

Leadership is to see the intertwining of

sacred with profane, in pursuit of

sustainability: CREATING PUBLIC

STANDARDS OF EXCELLENCE

Page 57: Creative communities innovative individuals anil gupta

Relationship between

Innovation and Standards• How does Standard affect evolution of

Ideas and Innovation??

• Case 1: QWERTY Keyboard

– Avoid jams in typewriter while typing fast, by placing

unrelated letters together and slowing down typing

speed

– Slower the typing rate, less frequent is the Jam

Page 58: Creative communities innovative individuals anil gupta

Rethinking standards to trigger

innovations• Dvorak Keyboard : 20% faster typing speed

• Movement of hands reduced to 1/16th

• Despite the advantages, 99.99% keyboards are QWERTY based

• QWERTY’s de facto standard for 20 years, hindered the innovation for the society, even if it improved performance!

Pollution controlling silencer

1

• Most of the stationary engines and genset run

without any silencer.

• This is an attachment for filtering exhaust of

stationary engines/gensets.

• It comprises a cylindrical housing in which

exhaust gas is allowed to expand and strike over

fins embedded on internal surface of cylinder

and perforated tubular fins. This results in

dissociation of CO and CO2 into carbon

particulates, which can be removed periodically

through opening provided for this purpose.

• The carbon can be used as raw material for

making boot polish and similar applications.

• The exhaust gas coming out has very reduced

pollutants, quite low temperature and results in

very low noise (BIT Mesra Test report)

Milking machine

Innovator: Shri Mr. Raghava Gowda, Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka

• Conventionally, milking is done manually which is tedious job

if one has number of cows. The completely automatic

machines are available in market but they are too costly.

• This is a manually operated semi automatic machine for

milking cows

• It can milk cows using a set of reciprocating vacuum pump and

suction assembly unit

• The suction assembly has two sub-assemblies with a set of

nipples and stainless steel plate on one side and transparent

conduit pipes and a regulator valve on the other.

• The hand lever attached to the pumping unit is cranked till a

vacuum of 15 inches is created. This is attached to the udders

and the milk gets deposited in the receiving canister via the

transparent conduit pipes. When air bubbles flow along with

the milk, the operation is stopped and on gently pressing the

top of the teats, the teats get released.

• It milks 1.5 litre to 2 litres per minute. For milking a cow it

takes about 3-5 minutes (5-15 lit).

• This is an environment friendly cheaper solution for water lifting

(having low initial cost and negligible operating cost). An

alternative solution for water lifting by electric power operated

pump/pumps guzzling fossil fuels or in absence of both pumps

operated manually with low discharge.

• The supporting structure/tower of windmill has been developed

using low cost, readily available material in the region (eg.

bamboo, eucalyptus, etc depending upon regional availability).

This structure houses a horizontal shaft made of mild steel (or

cast iron) with four blades placed at the centre. The blades of

turbine are made of mild steel sheet. The rotary motion of the

shaft over which blades are mounted, (resulting due to wind

power) is transferred to reciprocating movement of pump-lever

using cam and lever mechanism.

We are suffering form nutritional

crisis due to deficient soils• There's great variation from nutrient to

nutrient in the various tests showing how

depleted the soil/plants is/are, and here's

one of the most extreme examples

(Source: Japan standardized Ingredients

List):

Page 85: Creative communities innovative individuals anil gupta

Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Nobel Prize winner, stated, "You can

trace every sickness, every disease and every ailment to a mineral

deficiency

• As an example, magnesium is the activator for over 300 enzymes. Also it is

integral in the production of ATP, the energy compound of the body.

Magnesium is seriously deficient in the average diet, yet mainstream

medicine gives little attention to the body’s critical need for it.

• Similarly, zinc is a component of all cells. It is a cofactor in nearly 70

different enzymes, and provides significant benefits for the immune system,

growth and development of muscular and skeletal structures, and tissue

repair. Today’s foods contain too little for our needs, especially those of

children.

Page 86: Creative communities innovative individuals anil gupta

• Amounts of Vitamin C in 100 g of Spinach

1950 = 150 mg

1963 = 100 mg

1982 = 063 mg

1994 = 013 mg• That's a circa 90% reduction and this is not the rule, but an

exception. Still, nobody seems to disagree that there is a severe soil

depletion going on, and that this affects the nutrient levels in both

livestock animals and humans. Nutrient comparisons have also

been made between traditional, 'non-Western' diets and current,

Western diets -

Page 87: Creative communities innovative individuals anil gupta

• Another example that has been referred to a lot (possibly/maybe

because it's a bit more extreme/scary than the average?), is a

comparison between the nutrient changes in potatoes over the last

50 years:

Using potatoes as an example, in a study to find out what nutrients

the potato has lost over the last 50 years. This is what was

concluded:

• 100% of Vitamin A

• 57% of Vitamin C and Iron

• 28% of Calcium

• 50% of Riboflavin

• 18% of Thiamine

Out of all of the nutrients analysed only

Page 88: Creative communities innovative individuals anil gupta

• Out of all of the nutrients analysed only niacin levels actually did increase.

The conclusion was very similar for 25 fruits and vegetables under the same

test conditions. Broccoli had a huge reduction in which all nutrients had

significantly declined, surprisingly including niacin.

Figures have been published in scientific journals in the UK

including the British Food Journal.

A professor at the center for Food Policy explained how our food

has been so degraded that we would now have to eat 8 oranges to

get the same amount of Vitamin A from an orange which our

grandparents would have eaten many years ago.

• Food and beverages industry has to educate people about it, invest

in research and join hands for overall holistic vision.
