KODOY digital twin is at the bleeding edge of technology. We were delighted to discover that the young interns are all digital natives. They not only brought a fresh perspective to the table, but also exceeded all expectations in terms of level of hard work and speed of execution.
Platinae Anchorage works in the area of biologics based drug discovery. We were initially apprehensive about the ability of the young interns to understand the subject matter. However, by working under the supervision of global experts from the IIT Alumni cloud, they were able to deliver outstanding results.
Ayushca is a humble attempt at re-inventing human habitats. Each campus is being designed as a bio bubble, which is completely self-sufficient in terms of food, energy, healthcare and connectivity. Each campus is home to over 10,000 residents and can survive for months only on sea water. We were delighted at the freshness of thought and depth of sincerity displayed by the interns.
Kyrogene is an advanced genomics company. We operate at the intersection of data science and bio science. We were highly impressed by the skillsets of the interns in the area of artifical intelligence, data analytics, neural network and machine learning. Because of their familiarity with computers, they were able to learn very quickly and execute expeditiously.
Sitadal is a climate change technology company. We are engaged in the conversion of heat into electricity using advanced materials and frontier technologies. For us, the interns acted as an inovation army, addressing daily needs for fresh ideas and disruptive technologies. Engaging with the Forum's Alumni Next Platform has been one of the best investments in our R&D journey.

Mission Mode
Forum CRP - a global advisory platform - is structured as a mission. More like a movement than a business. This really means that the boundary between clients and experts is a fluid and ever-changing one. As more and more clients engage with the platform, the expertise of the platform keeps increasing.
The cost and complexity of bespoke technology solutions continue to rise. Whereas the supporters and depth of an open source platform keep growing. This results in exponentially increasing price performance of data and related services.
By developing an ecosystem of credible and well-funded technology partners, Forum CRP is able to access large infrastructure facilities as well as trained specialist manpower to help in the cost-effective and timely execution of large remediation and restitution projects with demonstrable efficacy and impact. Subsequent Impact assessment studies are carried out to assess this.
Foundational Technologies
A combination of global, open source, open API (application programming interface), user-contributed & independently collected data can fundamentally alter the price performance applicability of the digital twin engine.
Dynamic Digital Replicas
A digital replica can be created at close to cellular level accuracy for living beings and at millimetre level accuracy for an entire city or estate. Once interfaced with line sensor feeds - the digital version starts behaving like a living being. However, this digital element is not constrained by the limitations of time and space. Thus it is possible to use the digital replica of a city or country to run climate change simulations at several orders of magnitude faster than real-time.
Digital Twin
Digital twin technology is fundamentally different from simulation of a static digital representation. When appropriately handled with relevant and fast-developing AI tools - a digital replica converts to a dynamic digital twin. This approach can give life to a virtual digital element. The element could be a machine, a person or an entire town.
Computer Vision
Computer vision helps bring AI and digital twin to life. New photogrammetry tools including hyperspectral imaging can see things which the human eye can not. To give an example from Agritech - a hyperspectral system can not only identify the crop in the field, but it can accurately determine the exact species or variety of the plant. In addition, it can validate the health of the plant in terms of age, time to harvest, hydration level and nutrient deficiency. It can even assess the condition of the soil in terms of organic carbon content and other parameters.
Communities
Whether you are a private estate, a village, a city or an urban metropolis - the core paradigms of sustainable living need to be adhered to. At the surface, it may include visible changes like the adoption of electric vehicles or energy efficient buildings - but deep within it has to extend to better use of resources like water and enhanced use of renewables and waste management techniques.
Governments
Governments in most locations are fully empowered to collect income or consumption linked taxes from their citizens and businesses. In addition, they are able to collecting royalties on use of natural resources or charge duties for permitting imports. This places them uniquely to become catalysts of change or to force changed behaviour. However governments also need to be popular with their constituents. Especially if it is a democracy. The very existence of some governments depends on their ability to please their voters. This leads to several mis-aligned incentives. There is often little gain for a government in the short term from enforcing sustainability or changes in lifestyle. The developed world is unlikely to lead the world in climate change reversal. And will in all likelihood only play lip service to the concept. At the same time they will continue to damage the planet because of high consumption levels on all fronts - fossil fuel vehicles, energy guzzling appliances and indiscriminate use of packaging material and plastics. India is the only likely contender for leadership in this space.
