Billions in Change (Documentary 2015)
My brother from another womb sent me a teaser that introduced me to this Indian American millionaire, Manoj Bhargava. He moved to the USA as a teenager with his family. He dropped out of Princeton University after freshman year to live amongst monks in India for twelve years. He made his money through his caffeine-plus-vitamin elixir, a '5-hour Energy' drink. His nett wealth worth is said to be USD 1.5 billion and was Forbes' listed. In 2015, he pledged 99% of his wealth to the half of the world population who are immersed in poverty.
He recruited a group of same-minded scientists to invent simple, cheap and long-lasting simple devices to pay to society. The primary target of his selfless endeavour is the rural poor of India. Through his company, Billions in Change, he and his team have come up with simple devices which could potentially be the game changer in their lives. It is intriguing and may be sceptical how something so simple was not thought of by others before. It makes one question whether his endeavour will eventually be fruitful in ending rural poverty.
His primary areas of concern are generating electricity and providing usable water to the poorest segment of the world, which in his projection, comprise half of the world's population. His team has also introduced a cheap, clean form of fertiliser and a medical device named 'External Counter Pulsation' to clear impurities from the body to ensure wellness.
His power-generating bikes can generate electricity for an average rural household for 24 hours by merely pedalling for 2 hours. He hopes that this device will provide half of the world population with no electricity, clean energy, and no CO2 emissions.
Another one of his novel inventions is the suggestion of using graphene wires drilled to the centre of the tap the massive heat under the Earth surface to transmit heat. To solve the safe drinking water of the world, his team has proposed a very affordable way of desalination of seawater.
Another pet project of his company is the production of environmentally safe fertilisers which do not upset the nitrogen cycle of the soil. They claim that their ideas help farmers get higher yields and healthier plants.
If a single man with a small team of a handful of men can come out with so many new innovations, imagine what would happen if we all put their thinking caps towards this end? A positive outlook towards the future.
