In so doing we will create a profitable and environmentally responsible means toward

maintaining stable resources for the future of humanity, and toward restoring our planetary

environment for future generations.

PhasesPhases

• Sankalpa will begin its first phase by exploring super efficient growth and extractions systems for high-demand products from micro-algae to meet established markets for algae products - including fish feed, Omega 3 market, Spirulina proteins, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. During this phase significant R&D for Phase 2 biofuel photoreactors.

• Our second phase will focus on expanding our growth and extraction systems to anticipate and lead emerging markets for algae products, including the introduction of advanced photoreactors and extraction systems for biofuels, high value nutrients, pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals.

• Our third phase is to create an industrial revolution using high-speed systems, next generation IT and ultra-cognitive information graphics for applied biotechnology, thus lowering costs of production to a fraction of existing costs, resulting in more basic resources for more people and a reduction of demand upon our otherwise endangered global natural resources.

Why Algae?Why Algae?

• 300,000 strains of algae offer a superabundance of nutrients and chemicals -a virtually unlimited potential for producing core products for humanity

• Algae produce 100 times more oil per acre than traditional food oilseed crops such as soy etc. Algae produces 4,000 -15,000 gallons of oil per acre per year versus 50 gallons per acre for soy, or approximately 26 gallons per hectare

• Raw algae can be processed to make biofuel, the renewable equivalent of petroleum, and refined to make gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and chemical feedstocks for plastics and drugs.

• As a result of current high oil prices, depleting fossil oil reserves and growing concerns about increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, algae have emerged as one of the most promising sources for energy and nutrient production.

Environmentally Responsive

•The process of industrial scale organism growth in photo-reactors and automated growth chambers is non-polluting and non-toxic, can be scaled up, offers a renewable energy supply and aids in carbon sequestration and the mitigation of climate change.

•At the same time, demand is increasing rapidly for high-value algae based nutritional and pharmaceutical products, offering a lucrative base for launching algae/microorganism and biotechnology start-ups.

Algae Financial Forecast Algae Financial Forecast

• Algae are a rich and varied source of pharmacologically active natural products and nutraceuticals. The major products currently being commercialized or under consideration for commercial extraction include carotenoids, phycobilins, fatty acids, polysaccharides, vitamins, sterols, and biologically active molecules for use in human and animal health.

Dow Chemical's Steve Gluck notes major opportunity in the chemical industry for algae compared to biofuels.

"To get into the algae market, I think you might have to capture the chemical sector based on how much algae feedstock is needed in the chemical industry compared to the fuel refineries," said Gluck. "Chemicals need a pure material that algae can produce while fuels can have blended components.

India and the Approaching Biotechnology Era

India and the Approaching Biotechnology Era

•Sankalpa aims to place biotechnology in the forefront of the next industrial revolution, foreseeing that India will take its position at the head of a massive, global concerted effort in microbiology and basic resource production.

• India’s natural lead in biotechnology will bring more students to biotechnology colleges in India, increasing endowments for research, new laboratories and equipment.

•Jobs in biotechnology will be in demand at higher international wages for graduates as biotechnology takes its place in the center of the coming global industrial revolution.

University and Institutional Alliances

University and Institutional Alliances

• In order to most efficiently launch our efforts, Sankalpa currently seeks mutually beneficial relationships with scientific institutions in India in order to optimize our start-up phase and to build relationships for future efforts.

• Such win-win relationships will result in a range of significant future benefits to participating universities and scientific institutions, as well as increased general industrial demand for biotechnology.

Future Benefits To Participating Institutions

Current Status: Preparing Start-up Phase

Current Status: Preparing Start-up Phase

•Sankalpa has recruited over 75 Indian scientists and engineers, pending seed investment•We are currently recruiting core scientific institutions and upper management •Design underway of industrial biotech vision•Business plan in development •Research and outreach to potential investors • Sankalpa has established available land and agreements in Latin America for R&D partnerships in food and fuel production.

The current global crisis demands innovative and rapid solutions. Clearly, governments are behind schedule. The burden now rests upon the global citizenry, and upon the very best of our scientific institutions to create innovative means to recuperate our resources and to create a stable society and environment.

Clearly, India is well-blessed with abundant resources in terms of its intellectual and scientific prowess in the fields of engineering, chemistry, IT and biotechnology. We are therefore honored to open our vision, and our first conferences in India, and to invite Vaze College to participate in the launching of Sankalpa and in the birth of what we believe will become the next industrial revolution.

In Closing…

• We would like to take this opportunity to thank our friends and colleagues at Vaze College for their kind hospitality and attention.

• We look forward to working together toward a bountiful and beneficial future.
