Dr. Srikanth Sola is an eminent cardiologist who has, for over several decades, treated thousands of heart patients both in the US (Cleveland Clinic) as well as in India (Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences). It was back in 2008 when he moved back to India to serve the poor that he saw that air pollution was causing millions of deaths to young and healthy people. This motivated him to work towards alleviating the root cause – air pollution.

With his vast exposure to bio-medical engineering, he began researching the possibilities of mitigating ambient air pollution using different medically tested methods. Thus, with over 10 years of meticulous research and development, Pure Skies, the breakthrough technology for mitigating ambient air pollution was developed. He observed that not only was this new technology showing results in reducing ambient air pollution, but the number of patients complaining from heart and respiratory illnesses around the deployment area reduced significantly. Even the number of deaths due to such illnesses
had a significant drop.

Backed by over 10 years of R&D, Dr. Srikanth founded Devic Earth, a green technology company offering scientifically tested solutions for environmental pollution in 2018.
