This is my startup idea, Project Terraform, which I prepared in collaboration with my amazing friends, Harshita, Aman, Aditya and Bryan, earlier this year. This pitch even managed to beat a second year BTech team's tech startup to win the Shark Tank competition held at SIES College, Sion as a part of their annual inter-college extravaganza, Visions Tandav 2023! Needless to say it means a lot to me!

1.0
We are Project Terraform because
we aim at making the Earth more
liveable by eliminating wastes such
as Fly-Ash, Bagasse-Ash, Quarry
Dust and Industrial Sludge and using
them constructively to make eco-
friendly bricks!! We recently turned 1
year old! We have 5 plants at various
locations across Maharashtra at
present!!

2. FLY-ASH BRICKS:
BAGASSE-ASH BRICKS:
Primary Products:
Plants producing and distributing these
are being/will be set up in regions of
Maharashtra like Koradi and
Khaparkheda, which consume
substantial quantities of coal and hence
generate a lot of fly ash.
Plants producing and distributing these
are being/will be set up in regions of
Maharashtra like Kolhapur, Pune,
Satara, Sangli and Solapur, which are
some of the largest producers of sugar
and hence generate substantial
amounts of bagasse.
Plants producing and distributing these
are being/will be set up in industrial
cities like Mumbai & Thane, that
produce a lot of Industrial sludge.

5. Tests Our Bricks
Have Survived
Every batch of Terraform bricks dispatched to
our customers, passes the criteriation set by
the follwing series of tests:
PITCH

PROJECT
TERRAFORM
V

In this test, bricks are weighed in a dry
condition and then immersed in fresh water for
24 hours. After 24 hours of immersion they are
taken out and weighed in the wet condition.
The difference between weights is the water
absorbed by brick. The percentage of water
absorption is then calculated. A good quality
Terraform brick doesn't absorb water more
than 20% of its own weight.
WATER ABSORPTION TEST:
In this test, 5 specimens of Terraform bricks
are taken to a laboratory for testing and tested
one by one. In this test, a specimen brick is put
on a crushing machine and pressure is applied
on it till it breaks. The ultimate pressure at
which the brick is crushed is taken into
account. After all five specimen bricks are
tested, the average result is taken as the
brick's compressive/crushing strength.
COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH TEST:
PRIMARY TESTS [IS:3495 (PART 2)]:

SECONDARY TESTS:
In this test, two bricks are held by both hands
and struck with one another. If the bricks give
a clear metallic ringing sound and don't break
then they are good quality Terraform bricks.
SOUND TEST:
In this test, a scratch is made on a brick's
surface with a hard object. If it doesn't leave
any impression on the brick then it is a good
quality Terraform brick.
HARDNESS TEST:
MISCELLANEOUS TEST:
In this test, a randomly collected set of 20
Terraform bricks from a single batch is
stacked in a lengthwise, widthwise and
heightwise manner and then measured to
know the variation of sizes as per the
standards. The bricks are closely viewed to
check if their edges are sharp, straight and
uniform in shape. A good quality Terraform
brick should have a bright and a uniform color.

do buy Project Terraform's eco friendly
clothes and bags! The fabric is made out
of sustainably procured eucalyptus,
beech, and spruce trees that are chipped,
pulped, and spun into textile yarn. The
ink on the them is made entirely from
algae grown in a bioreactor. This means
that you can compost your clothes/bags
after you are done with them!
