All over the world, we are seeing Climate change impact people's lives. The scope and complexity of the problem is massive, and solutions are often hard to implement. However, we know that Renewable energy, circular economies and sustainable practices all play a role, and that corporations, governments and the public are all stakeholders here.

To talk to us about the interconnectedness of Real Estate and climate change, we have with us today Ms. Tanya Singhal, an industry expert with over 15 years of experience in the climate technology and renewable energy sector. An IIT Delhi alumnus, Ms. Singhal’s professional journey began with the Boston Consulting Group, but soon transitioned to entrepreneurship with her founding SolarArise - a solar asset management company. During her tenure at SolarArise, the company was responsible for developing over half a gigawatt (GW) of solar projects across seven states in India, that went on to be listed on the London Stock Exchange.

Today Ms. Singhal has embarked on a new mission with Mynzo Carbon, which stands for MyNetZerO. Mynzo leverages technology to automatically measure emissions, create individual climate identities, and provide personalized nudges for reducing carbon footprints. The vision extends further with My-Forest, a project aimed at carbon recapture to achieve net-zero emissions.

In today’s episode, we talk about the changes in the renewable energy market in India, the various stakeholders when it comes to climate action, and how each of them can play their part in helping to mitigate the problem.

Welcome back for an episode with a recurring guest! Over the past few years, the air quality in urban India has gone from a seasonal problem in certain cities to a growing concern among the entire urban population in India. This can be seen in the AQI or Air Quality Index in most Indian cities, with more days of the year in the "severe" and harmful categories.

Air pollution has many health effects, both direct and indirect, along with other factors like particulate matter.

So what steps can be taken to mitigate the impact of poor air quality, both outdoors and in the spaces at which we spend the most time, our homes and workplaces?

To answer this, we thought it would be the perfect time to reconnect with one of out first ever gusts on this podcast, and get an update on the issue of air quality in India! To talk to us about this, we have a returning guest in Mr. Abhinav Gupta, CEO of Active Buildings.

With a background in engineering, Mr. Gupta started Active Buildings in 2016, to work on smart solutions that increase both the productivity and wellness of building occupants. In this episode Mr. Gupta revisits the current state of air quality in urban India, and talks about some interventions they have deployed in commercial, residential and even public spaces.

Amongst emerging trends within the last 5 years, Fractional Ownership has become a popular concept to democratize Real Estate ownership for investors in India. According to a recent report from Knight Frank, the market for fractional ownership in India is projected to grow from $5.4 billion in 2020 to $8.9 billion in 2025.

As this space grows, SEBI has recently approved the framework for Medium, Small and Micro REITs, with the aim of formalising this sector to protect investors and standardise best practices across the Fractional Ownership Space.

To talk to us about these regulations, the fractional investment process and the future of such MSM REITs, we have with us today the Founder and CEO of the fractional ownership platform hBits, Mr. Shiv Parekh.

After a BS in Engineering Physics from Stanford University and an MBA from Harvard Business School, Mr Parekh is no stranger to real estate entrepreneurship, having founded WorkLoft in 2015, then one of India’s first few Coworking players. In 2018 he founded HBits, as one of the first players in the fractional ownership space in India. Today, hBits has AUM of approximately 310 crore INR from their 10 existing properties, and more than 90,000 registered users on their platform.
