KEY TAKEAWAYS

Cooling equipment drives nearly 10% of global warming through energy use, food waste from spoilage, and the release of ultra-potent greenhouse gases. The problem is growing rapidly as developing countries adopt more cooling.
Manik’s start-up Therma uses sensors, data science, and controls to dynamically manage the operation of AC units to save businesses money while cutting emissions.
After early struggles trying to digitize food safety logs for users, Manik realized he had to fully automate temperature monitoring instead of just moving paper forms to mobile devices. Adoption and growth took off.
To thrive as an entrepreneur, Manik recommends believing you can shape the future through sheer persistence, maintaining a higher purpose beyond personal gain, and surrounding yourself with great people.
AI promises big climate benefits by optimizing energy systems, predicting weather and usage patterns, monitoring illegal deforestation, improving recycling, and more.

BEST MOMENTS
"If food waste were a country, it would be like the fourth largest emitter."
"You can actually create the future...If you stick with something and try and work on it, often good things happen."
"Do it for some reason beyond yourself...It makes it worthwhile to wake up."
"Every technology stack being used to tackle climate change can be augmented with AI in one or multiple ways."
