Let’s Talk Water: Neel Mathews says true ROI is when Indians invest in nature and society

Neel Mathews, environmental innovator, speaks to Let’s Talk Water host Nolan Pinto about redefining ROI—not in financial terms, but through contributions to nature and society.

In a country rooted in spirituality, doing good should be seen as the ultimate return on investment. Neel shares how this philosophy drives his everyday life, including how he cools his home using just water and air, what the West calls earth pipe cooling.

This sustainable technique keeps his house cool in the summer and warm in the winter, with zero dependence on conventional energy.

Together, they explore India’s environmental challenges, the cost to future generations, and how embracing nature’s methods can make the nation truly great.
