[Music plays as an image of a round blue shape appears on a black background, and then the words ‘From India to Australia: A CarbonCraft + Viewco collaboration supported by the RISE Accelerator’ appear alongside the shape]
[Image changes to show the view of balconies on a building and then moves through to a close-up view of a sign-post in front of the building with the name Atria University on the sign post as well as the names of various facilities, then moves through to show the CarbonCraft logo on a black t-shirt]
[An image then appears of Pramit Dash listening to Tamara Ogilvie talking]
Tamara Ogilvie: Here we are at Atria University visiting CarbonCraft who is based here on site welcoming Viewco, their Australian pilot partner. Tell me your thoughts.
Pramit Dash: It’s amazing to see the program come to a stage

where we have pilots starting to get into action

and having a pilot partner and the startup coming together, working in their space, coming to know each other better. So that’s a fascinating thing.
[Images move through to show hands using a computer keyboard, views of Tamara listening to Pramit talking, views of a male giving a presentation to James and Ryan, and then six hanging certificates]
A very important juncture in the program, I would say and see how a company works, how their research facilities work, how their R&D works and to just map the entire supply chain. It’s a different matter when you hear from these startups what they do.
[Images move through to show Tamara listening to Pramit talking, a male giving a presentation in a lab to Ryan and another watching male, and then a male showing Ryan a grainy substance from a jar]
But coming here and seeing their inbound logistics, their lab, their outbound logistics, what are they working upon?
[Images move through to show Tamara listening to Pramit talking, Ryan and two males looking into an open hot air oven, and then a Ryan talking to a listening male]
It’s certainly fascinating to be in person and seeing things happen or actions unfold in front.
[Image changes to show Pramit Dash listening to Tamara Ogilvie talking and then they both give a high five while turning to look at the camera smiling]
Tamara Ogilvie: I echo that.
[Music plays as images move through to show various patterned tiles and various shaped tiles laid out on a display table]
[Images move through to show Ryan listening to James talking, James and a male smiling as Ryan writes on a document, Ryan talking with two males, and then Ryan listening to James talking]
James Robinson: So Ryan, I guess I’ve met you a few years ago and understood from your business you were interested in providing a sustainable or even carbon negative tile and ceramic product to the Australian market.
[Images move through to show Tamara talking to a listening male, views of Ryan listening to James talking, Ryan looking and feeling a tiled wall while talking, and then Ryan talking to James and a male]
And then fast forward to now where through the India Australia RISE Accelerator program, it happens that one of the Indian participating organisations has exactly that solution, and you’re working with them now to partner up and take that project, to take that product to, to Australia.
[Images move through to show James listening to Ryan talking, Ryan walking through a workshop, and then a female talking to Tamara and two males]
Ryan Knight: Yeah, it’s really exciting, James, um, and also just a funny circle of life how it’s come about. And yeah, we’re really excited to be working with the team from Carbon Craft.
[Images move through to show James listening to Ryan talking, Ryan watching James take a photo of a product a male is pointing at, and then a hand pouring a clear liquid onto a tile]
Uh, we want to bring it to the Australian market, probably in a staged, um, way. And I think there’s some awesome products that we can bring to the marketplace to remove carbon from the atmosphere.
[Images move through to show of views of Ryan listening to James talking, a hand holding up a small patterned tile, and then a hand lifting a tile from a container of various small tiles in a clear liquid]
James Robinson: And I guess it’s also been interesting today, is purely from an R&D and product roadmap perspective, just to see some of the new solutions that Carbon Craft have got coming as part of that, that sort of launch and what the future holds.
[Images move through to show views of James listening to Ryan talking, a male talking to Tamara as a female looks at her phone, and then various views of the female talking to Tamara]
Ryan Knight: It’s exciting to also be able to maybe put some of our Australian market knowledge to the Carbon Craft guys to potentially decide which way we go with Australian products and have direct influence with the team who are designing the products.
