The Social Innovation Podcast learned a lot from its discussion with Sushil Vaishnav, the Founder of KNP Arises.  KNP Arises is a revolutionary startup that is at the forefront of building a green world.  KNP Arises collects used cooking oils and fats from restaurants and then converts those oils into bio-diesel.

Some of the topics we covered with Sushil:

  • Logistics and costing
  • Potential FinTech opportunities
