We have a great talk this week with Subarna Bhattacharyya, Co-Founder, and CEO of Climformatics Inc. Subarna talks about the work that she and Climformatics are doing in forecasting extreme weather, specific conditions that are conducive to wildfires. She talks about the unique models they have developed including the AI algorithm, what the dynamic nature of this predicting model is, and how it can help us in real-time situations. Towards the end of the episode, Subarna gives her advice for women business owners to stay motivated and inspired despite facing challenges.

What You’ll Hear In This Episode:

• Climformatic’s general mission is to predict future climate to drive better business decisions.

• How are they able to predict things like wildfires long before the fire actually happens?

• What is the dynamic nature of the model, and how can it help us create forward predictive climate data?

• Why has it taken us so long to get to the point where we can do this level of analysis?

• Subarna shares some big wins for Climforatics when it comes to sustainable technology solutions to cities.
