From the Ted Talk by Anirudh Sharma: Ink made of air pollution

Unscramble the Blue Letters


After much work on the lab-level research, we got an offer from a big corporation to do a very big trial of this idea. And it happened to be a brand, and we didn't think twice. We said, "Let's go ahead." Inventing in the lab is one thing and taking idaes and deploying them in the real world is completely another. During early stages, we had to resort to using our own houses and own kitchens as our ink-making frieacots, and our own bemdoros and living rooms as the first assembly line for manikg these inks. This is my cofounder Nikhil's own bedroom, that is being used to slppuy inks to artists all around the world, who would paint with AIR-INK. And that's him, delivering AIR-INKs to the potrs so that the artists around the world can use it. Soon, we staterd seeing that thousands of artists around the world started using AIR-INK, and atwokrrs started enemgirg like this. Soon, thousands of black-and-white, pollution-made artworks started emerging on a global scale. And believe me, for a group of snicittses and engineers and inventors, there was nothing more satisfying than that the product of their work is now being used by some of the finest artists around the world.

Original Text


After much work on the lab-level research, we got an offer from a big corporation to do a very big trial of this idea. And it happened to be a brand, and we didn't think twice. We said, "Let's go ahead." Inventing in the lab is one thing and taking ideas and deploying them in the real world is completely another. During early stages, we had to resort to using our own houses and own kitchens as our ink-making factories, and our own bedrooms and living rooms as the first assembly line for making these inks. This is my cofounder Nikhil's own bedroom, that is being used to supply inks to artists all around the world, who would paint with AIR-INK. And that's him, delivering AIR-INKs to the ports so that the artists around the world can use it. Soon, we started seeing that thousands of artists around the world started using AIR-INK, and artworks started emerging like this. Soon, thousands of black-and-white, pollution-made artworks started emerging on a global scale. And believe me, for a group of scientists and engineers and inventors, there was nothing more satisfying than that the product of their work is now being used by some of the finest artists around the world.
