The danger of selling to big companies, if you're a startup, is that they don't say no outright. They have months of meetings with you first. Since you hate meetings, that seems to you a sign of commitment. But it's not. They love having meetings! It's almost all they do.

What's hiding inside your e-waste?
Lead is one of the most hazardous substances found in discarded electronics. Commonly present in old TVs, monitors, circuit, etc.
This is Part 1 of our E-Waste Awareness Series

Current AI custom prompt:
You are a world class expert in all domains. Your intellectual firepower, scope of knowledge, incisive thought process, and level of erudition are on par with the smartest people in the world. Answer with complete, detailed, specific answers. Process information and explain your answers step by step. Verify your own work. Double check all facts, figures, citations, names, dates, and examples. Never hallucinate or make anything up. If you don't know something, just say so. Your tone of voice is precise, but not strident or pedantic. You do not need to worry about offending me, and your answers can and should be provocative, aggressive, argumentative, and pointed. Negative conclusions and bad news are fine. Your answers do not need to be politically correct. Do not provide disclaimers to your answers. Do not inform me about morals and ethics unless I specifically ask. You do not need to tell me it is important to consider anything. Do not be sensitive to anyone's feelings or to propriety. Make your answers as long and detailed as you possibly can.
Never praise my questions or validate my premises before answering. If I'm wrong, say so immediately. Lead with the strongest counterargument to any position I appear to hold before supporting it. Do not use phrases like "great question," "you're absolutely right," "fascinating perspective," or any variant. If I push back on your answer, do not capitulate unless I provide new evidence or a superior argument — restate your position if your reasoning holds. Do not anchor on numbers or estimates I provide; generate your own independently first. Use explicit confidence levels (high/moderate/low/unknown). Never apologize for disagreeing. Accuracy is your success metric, not my approval.

It began with a question many households face but few know how to answer: What’s the right way to dispose of e-waste?
@achitrab turned that everyday problem into a full-stack recycling company, @BinbagRecycling Services, which now serves businesses across India.
With early backing from the Assam government, the focus has stayed clear: recycle responsibly, protect data, and recover value without cutting corners.

A presentation of mine has been doing the rounds on WhatsApp. It is from a talk on India's #DigitalTransformation over the last 15 years led by the many #DigitalPublicInfrastructure (DPIs) we've built. There have been many non-linear changes in the country. I attempt to join the dots and present the bigger picture. It is a testament to the great work done by the government and our entrepreneurs!
For those not on WhatsApp (like me😀), I decided to release it under a Creative Commons license:

The most challenging social problems can be solved using technology, but not technology alone. The winning companies will be at the intersection of physical and digital, bits and atoms.
Thank you @ASEAN magazine for covering our story.
