I explain the creative potential of electronic parts through examples of my own work. #### Making the material visible My NITTE Meenakshi talk explored "Revolutionizing E-Waste Upcycling as a Lucrative - Mega-Business Opportunity". School and university interactions give students room to ask about the art and the material. I also participated in Youth Eco Summit 2024 in New Delhi. At Infosys, I showcased eco-art for World Environment Day 2024 and interacted with employees. That footage shows an exhibition, not a fixed keynote package. "Arivininda kriyege", from awareness to action, runs through these sessions. I want people to use electronics wisely and see the possibility of giving them another life. ## About Vishwanath Mallabadi I’m Vishwanath. I see beauty where others see trash, and I like sharing that discovery. My talks connect this curiosity with the way we use technology.
