BOB SANDY’S ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ORGANISATION
A Passion That Turned Into An Inspiring Business Venture With Environmental Leadership
A famous quote proposed by Rachel Carson- ‘In nature, nothing exists alone’- speaks a lot in a few words. Yes, mankind cannot survive all by itself by constantly exploiting nature. The time has come when we need to retrospect on the impact of activities performed by us, on the environment. Undoubtedly, humans have disrupted nature’s flow in multiple ways for the sake of some selfish endeavours. Global warming, wavering climatic changes, soil erosion, air pollution, unsafe potable water, etc, are some of the major aftereffects that the world is witnessing as a result of centuries of disastrous human actions that degraded the environment.
The need of the hour is to become aware enough towards a sustainable development that can ensure harmony between humans and nature instead of performing unending exploitation. Against this backdrop, several businesses are emerging out as the torchbearers to make people know that our foremost priority should be the environment only as we are absolutely dependent on that for our survival. A number of enterprises have started their entrepreneurial journey by keeping a sustainable future in their core values and are constantly striving for a positive impact on the mindset of the society.
Innovative Zone Magazine takes immense pride to feature an emerging startup that has acknowledged the significance of sustainable growth and developed a solution that can inspire people to reduce the usage of petroleum products and invest in the favor of protecting our environment. In an interaction with our magazine, the key persons of the startup highlighted different aspects of aspirations from this business journey along with its exclusive environmental leadership.
With the insightful initiative to ensure protection to the environment, Bob Sandy’s Environmental Research and Development Organisation has intervened in the business world. Performing intense research in this industrial space, they are about to launch the electric vehicle charging stations all across India by 2027. The company envisions to commence a revolutionary breakthrough towards the conservation of natural resources like petroleum products. They continuously strive to support Govt’s target to enforce the usage of 25% of electric vehicles running on the roads that are quite commendable.
The Directors, Pasam Mary Priyanka and Kevil Neidoerffer Kundurthi, have planned to revamp the environmental conservation drive with their innovative and exclusionary offering that will minimize the usage of the naphtha-based products in the automobile industry.
ABOUT THE KEY PERSONS PASAM MARY PRIYANKA – DIRECTOR
Priyanka is an M. Pharma who has always been interested in the CSR activities since her childhood. She used to support a small NGO in her town Piduguralla, Andhra Pradesh. After tying the marriage knot with Nuthalapati Sandeep, she decided to become an entrepreneur to fulfil her husband’s dream to start a company of his own. But the insufficient amount of venture capital was the biggest obstacle to dodge.
As an enthusiast in environmental protection activities, she decided to start a venture in the respective domain that can make a difference to the world. She named her very first business venture as ‘Bob Sandy’ that is the pen-name of her husband. Priyanka wants her daughter, Nithya Jesslyn, to carry forward her legacy after her 18th birthday.
KEVIL NEIDOERFFER KUNDURTHI – DIRECTOR
Kundurthi is a B.Tech from Guntur, Andhra Pradesh. He has always been a keen volunteer in the social activities along with his college mates who aspired for social upliftment. After attaining jobs and getting ahead in life with their own families, he and his friends lost the touch from their key endeavours towards society. Later, he decided to join hands with P. Mary Priyanka to pursue his foremost passion for social upliftment and environmental conservation. And, this is how the organization was incepted in November 2020.
ENSURING A LEADING-EDGE
Bob Sandy is a three-month-old innovative startup that constantly strives for being substantive to the world. Talking about their competitive edge, Directors assert, “We are not yet another profit-making organization. Instead, we are aligned towards protecting our nature and environment from the disastrous human activities. Our exclusive electrical vehicle- charging stations will allow individuals who utilize these stations, with ITR exemptions to promote more usage of such vehicles among the commonalities.” Driven with this innovative idea, the company is forging ahead to lead with examples.
Starting this unique venture with zero investment, they are leaving no stone unturned to protect the environment with the donations they are receiving from different businesses that are aligned towards the empowerment of the society via their CSR activities. Soon, they will be approaching more and more corporates for raising an adequate amount of funds.
HARMONY WITH THE CHANGING MARKET TRENDS
Foreseeing the circumstances 10 years later from now is how they have planned to deal with uncertain market trends. The company has prepared a roadmap to approach the desired outcomes with preplanned strategies where in-depth research plays a pivotal role. At present, the startup is in dire need of appropriate funding and aspires firm support from the governments across the world, as their vision is aligned towards supporting the objectives of Govt of India. Their R&D team is in a continuous process to develop innovative solutions for the betterment of the environment. And with an optimistic attitude and adequate techniques, they have envisioned to emerge out a leading player in the industry.
A GLANCE AT THEIR FUTURE ENDEAVOURS
With the environment becoming prone to various threats, the company is striving to make a mark in the industry to develop unique solutions towards environmental conservation. Moreover, for aspiring entrepreneurs, both the Directors would like to convey a message, “Whatever plans you have implemented with innovative ideas, you can become a leader in your chosen area. And you should do marketing in innovative ways that your competitors should wonder to crack your strategies and techniques.”
