As Consultant as well as full time employee (1998-2006). I was the first person to integrate the use of fly ash in concrete mix-design as a replacement for cement on a commercial scale in India (Those days even Chief Engineers of government organizations were scared of using fly ash and we had kept this a secret for many years). This resulted in considerable savings to the company.During this period, as an independent consultant I also did a small EIA project (Holiday resort). I worked on a waste utilization project at Nellore where we used fly ash and sewage sludge for afforestation -- Outcome 25000 trees. Most of them are alive today after 11 years.

Then we just needed more than typewriters.
