PRESS RELEASE
Published July 1, 2024

In 2024, the significance of environmental technology in shaping future careers is undeniable. The International Labor Organization forecasts a 12 percent increase in green technology sector jobs by 2032, presenting lucrative career opportunities with an average salary exceeding $90K.

Beyond the technical skills, an education in environmental technology fosters a mindset that emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, and resilience in the face of global challenges.

Ishaan Gupta, a high school senior and dedicated environmentalist, embodies this philosophy through his work in climate advocacy. As the founder of Envirology, an organization committed to promoting environmental technology among young engineers, Ishaan has applied modern technologies to address anthropogenic climate impacts. His initiatives span predictive disaster models and envirotech advocacy, inspiring many to pursue similar paths. 

Ishaan's contributions focus specifically on education, incubation, and exposure. “As a nationally ranked debater, I have experienced the transformative power of knowledge firsthand-it is the foundation for any meaningful societal change. At Envirology, we prioritize empowering the next generation with this critical awareness.” he explains.

Through social media platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, Envirology founded an advocacy channel dedicated to raising environmental awareness globally, projected to earn millions of views by August. The large numbers themselves aren’t the only key figure. The team has focused on making engaging content, earning over a 70% retention rate to keep viewers intrigued in the content created.

Envirology credits a large portion of his achievement through his partnerships. Delhi’s Institute of Technology has sponsored Professors and supported Envirology from its founding, advising on how to redirect funding and allocate efforts. Prometheus Learning, a popular educational firm based in the Bay, has also provided mentorship on how to reach more uneducated youth. “Without either of these supports, Envirology wouldn’t be nearly as successful as it is today” shares Param Sachdeva, the Director of Research.

As the team ventures onwards, they look forward to expanding Envirology and the impact it’s made on youth. In an interview, Ishaan explained “This is the kind of engagement we need- the kind that promotes interest and passion among the next generation”.
