Founder @zodhyaofficial Interested in tech & energy. I sometimes share my non-work experiences too

Met Rohith, a promising young Telangana entrepreneur, today. Along with his fellow IIT Madras alumni, Rohith founded Zodhya, a startup building intelligent energy solutions that help commercial buildings and industries reduce energy consumption by 10–30%, lower emissions, and make power systems more efficient. Zodhya is taking technology developed in India to global markets and earning recognition across the US and Southeast Asia. What makes this journey even more special is that Rohith built this deep-tech company from @THubHyd. I remember presenting Zodhya with an award at the Annual HYSEA Awards in 2023, and it is truly gratifying to see how far the company has come since then. Wishing Rohith and the entire @ZodhyaOfficial team continued success

गर्मी में AC की ठंडी हवा सुकून देती है लेकिन एक छोटी सी विद्युत् लापरवाही बड़े हादसे का कारण बन सकती है। AC के लिए सही वायरिंग, अलग सर्किट, उचित अर्थिंग और संतुलित लोड सुनिश्चित करें। राष्ट्रीय विद्युत् संहिता (NEC) 2023 के प्रावधानों का पालन करें और अपने घर को सुरक्षित रखें।



SBTi 2.0 is out. Importantly, rules on claims and target fulfillment are not in the standard, but pushed to future publications. That means much is still to be discussed, and topics like operational net zero are still live. For carbon removal it is an *improvement from earlier drafts* of the 2.0 version. For example it again says that long-lived emissions need long-lived removals. But there is no drastic change that drives near-term CDR demand. I really like that transition plans are now a must. That is where companies can be clear about what emissions they control themselves and what depends on outside change, and what they do about it. And the SBTi is shifting away from crude binary target fulfillment, targets are set on a "best effort", and if a company does all they can, they can still be deemed compliant even if they miss the targets. They don't go the whole way on this though and call targets conditional. That companies have to motivate *why* they are not taking financial responsibility for ongoing emissions, is really excellent. This was my fast reaction. More to say. And next week an ISO net zero standard draft is coming out too.
