India’s pledge to reach net-zero emissions by 2070 isn’t merely a climate commitment – it’s an industrial metamorphosis of unprecedented scale. To decarbonize a $3.7 trillion economy while lifting 130 million people out of poverty requires eliminating ~4.5 gigatonnes...

From Labs to Large Scale: The Engineering Journey of DashamLabs’ Patented Tech

by vsanusha210890@gmail.com | Sep 18, 2026 | Blogs

In 2018, a single gram of silica aerogel produced in DashamLabs’ fledgling IIT Roorkee lab cost ₹8,500 – more than its weight in silver. The material was miraculous: a sliver of translucent solid that could insulate a blowtorch flame from freezing your fingertips. But...

Why Ceramic Fiber Isn’t Always the Answer for High-Heat Applications: The Hidden Costs of a “Standard” Solution

by vsanusha210890@gmail.com | Sep 14, 2026 | Blogs

Walk into any Indian steel mini-mill, ceramic tile furnace, or petrochemical cracker unit, and you’ll likely find it: the familiar white, fibrous blanket lining ladles, wrapping pipes, or insulating kiln doors. It’s ceramic fiber – the workhorse of high-temperature...
