I moved through the day like a butterfly collecting nectar from each conversation, connection and exchange

“I moved through the day like a butterfly collecting nectar from each conversation, connection and exchange”

Some days feel like silent fermentation-slow, rich, and transformative where each interaction evolves into something meaningful.

At
MICROGENFUTURISTICA–2026, Department of Microbiology, Panjab University, Chandigarh, I was simply a microbiologist-immersed in the unseen yet profoundly fascinating world of microbes.

Professor Naveen Gupta, Head of
Microbiology, a scientist, poet, and above all, a remarkable human being requested me to take two sessions for the budding scientists and entrepreneurs.

In the first, I shared my journey of building
Biozazen, a social enterprise, based on microbial fermentation powering a range of ecofriendly solutions that replace chemical-based household cleaners to enabling fruiting and flowering in plants, and even supporting wastewater treatment. It’s fascinating how nature-led science can drive sustainable living.

The second session focused on the valorization of lignin as a compelling business case by
Circlo for fostering a circular economy where agri waste becomes bioplastics, and innovation meets environmental responsibility.

Engaging with curious young minds and sparking meaningful conversations made the visit worthy.
