Greetings..
Could you look over our proposal Ceramic Weapons of Mass bacterial Destruction and perhaps offer us some direction as to how to proceed. The filter technology has also been granted the WB Marketplace Grant on two occasions, has been written up by the Academy of Science, The Smithsonian Institution and the UN Habitat Good Practices . Now, How do we go mainstream?

Dear Ron:

I just skimmed through your project write up. a few observations:

a. I am amazed with your perseverance over the last 24 years. Such passion, lasting quarter century!

b. You have tried several organizations and numerous approaches

c. You are the individual who knows why your invention didn't win the mainstream. List them. There may be a pattern?

d. In 24 years, story becomes stale. Investors automatically assume that there must be something wrong for the venture not to win mainstreamin 24 years.

e. Your write needs to make a comelling story. It does not.

Sincerely,
BP

Akash Ganga has a host of innovations that I have yet to see in other societal business plans. Description of the project shows a maturity and understanding of the societal implications of various steps in introducing and integrating the rainwater harvesting scheme in rural India.
The technical and engineering innovations during pilot programs in 7 villages stand out.
Finally adaptation to local conditions is quite impressive.
Wish you all the best.
