Arindam Bhattacharya from Tailwind Futures

Most climate money chases decarbonization while a bigger problem piles up: two thirds of the losses from extreme weather and disasters go completely uninsured. Arindam Bhattacharya spent 30 years at SLB before launching Tailwind Futures to back startups hardening infrastructure, supply chains, and workforce against a changing climate. He argues resilience is a growth story, not just damage control, and walks through a portfolio from corrosion-proof rebar to a material that could replace copper.<a href="https://app.collide.io/content/P3F4VhC">Click here to watch a video of this episode.</a> Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.
