Today Alt Carbon launches Alter Magazine-- a monthly publication bringing to the world new literary writing on science, technology, & progress from South Asia. A quarter of humanity live in the Indian subcontinent, undergoing one of the fastest economic & technological transitions in history. While the subcontinent faces its own existential crisis from the social alleviation of poverty to managing the deluge of climate change, it’s also pioneering the codes underlying new payments infrastructures and the rockets enabling us to become a multi planetary species. The future is happening here. It calls for a platform for India’s scientific and literary communities to birth, debate, and publish new ideas. Alter Magazine is dedicated to providing ink, paper, & screen pixels to these intellectual entrepreneurs imagining alternative futures. Every month, we will publish one long-form, deeply researched, and beautifully designed piece. Each story will shift how readers see our vast and diverse subcontinent, bringing to you contemporary geniuses, cutting-edge ideas, and pathbreaking discoveries. This is a living journal documenting the dreams and dilemmas shaping our subcontinent’s aspirations for progress, the attempt to blend together tradition & technology to undertake development, capturing the region’s herculean effort to undertake advancement not just for itself, but to help write the next chapter of long-term planetary evolution. We believe that a world of abundance is possible. It requires audacious thoughts & imaginative action— led by scientists, reasoned by philosophers, imagined by artists, implemented by technologists, debated by citizens and realised for everyone. Alter Magazine will document the stories & pursuits of all those working towards this shared vision — answering the question posed by one of India’s founding fathers at the stroke of the midnight hour: “The future beckons to us. Whither do we go and what shall be our endeavour?” Watch out for Issue #1: The Secret History of Indian Science Fiction.

The Age of AI demands planetary-scale Carbon Dioxide removal. Alt Carbon is using volcanic rock dust to geochemically pull carbon out of the atmosphere — and we just proved it works at scale. The world's largest issuance of carbon credits through Enhanced Rock Weathering. ~10,000 tonnes of CO₂ removed. Enough to offset a small AI data centre. India has a history of scientific breakthroughs that stun the world — across medicine, space exploration, energy, & financial inclusion.🇮🇳 Climate Change is the most significant existential threat to our species. It demands Himalayan Ambitions. We're moving mountains to make that happen. Literally.

We removed 2,500 tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere, soon to be permanently locked in the Bay of Bengal. That's equal to 3,500 one way tickets from Delhi to Tokyo. This is the largest Enhanced Rock Weathering delivery issued by Isometric. Thank you to our Japanese partners Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL Group), for supporting the ambitious Darjeeling Revival Project. We’re glad to deliver on our promise to you from last year. But our work at Alt Carbon to build the Japan-India climate corridor is just starting. “Sitaron se aage jahaan aur bhi hain”

We got a chance to showcase Alter Magazine in our favourite journal of ideas Works in Progress. In 1924, a self-taught physicist from Calcutta, teaching at a newly established university in Dhaka, solved a problem that had stumped European physics. He mailed it to Einstein, and changed how we understand matter. His name was Satyendra Nath Bose. Bose never won a Nobel Prize. But his contribution, Bosons, advanced human progress. Bosons change the world by gathering. So do Ideas.
