play

04/01/24 • 7 min

Why is noise cancellation so impressive? How does it feel to experience the luxury of a preferred audio environment? If the quality of the soundscape is an indicator of a thriving ecosystem, what could be so off about urban spaces that a certain technology feels essential? In this segment, we delve into soundscapes and how they transform when transitioning from an urban setting to a natural environment.

Innocence Theory Podcast - The deception behind sustainability claims
play

10/24/24 • 56 min

Is your favourite eco-friendly product really as green as it claims to be? In the world of sustainability, not everything is what it seems. This episode takes a look at greenwashing—when companies falsely promote products as environmentally friendly—and its impact on genuine sustainability efforts.

Our guest Uttam Banerjee, CEO of Ekam, a company pioneering waterless urinals and innovative sanitation solutions, shares their journey to reduce water and chemical use in cleaning products. But standing in their way is a market filled with deceptive marketing and misleading certifications that confuse consumers and slow progress.

We dive into the challenges innovators face when going up against big corporations, and how we, as consumers, can play a part in demanding transparency.

08/21/23 • 42 min

In this episode we gaze at the moon, rediscover our romantic cosmic neighbour, — is it as pleasant as it seems or is it a hostile place with a violent past. What’s the story of moon mountains, gravitational lumps and permanent shadow region(PSR)? What’s the story of water in moon, where is it present and how did we come to know. More importantly why is the moon a great candidate to decipher our cosmic origin.

Listen to the two part series - to learn a little deeper about the moon and the context of Chandrayaan 3 mission to truly appreciate the endeavour. What does all of these missions mean to us, as a citizen of the planet. Where and how are we going to go in the next few decades from a space travel standpoint.

We lay it all out - in this simple yet inspiring conversation with Jatan Mehta.
