Can we make pollution useful? Delhi-based Chakr Innovation is on a mission to curb pollution but in a recyclable way. With its award-winning patented technology Chakr Shield, it takes diesel soot from generators and converts it into inks and paints. Chakr Shield’s proprietary hardware technology, running at 35 different sites, has been able to capture more than 300 kg of particulate matter in the past 1 year, which would have otherwise polluted 1,500 billion litres of air.
