EP 13: Part 1 – The 28-Watt Bet with Manoj Meena

What does it take to challenge something as ordinary and as widespread as a ceiling fan?

In this episode of Pulse of Tech by SEAP, we explore the story behind a bold idea: reimagining everyday appliances through the lens of efficiency, precision, and first-principles thinking.

At the heart of the conversation is a simple but powerful question, why should essential products consume more energy than necessary?
This episode dives into how constraints can become a catalyst for innovation, and how a focused approach to engineering can lead to solutions that are both impactful and scalable.

You’ll hear perspectives on:

  • Rethinking legacy products for a more efficient future
  • Building with constraints and turning them into advantages
  • The challenges of scaling hardware innovation• Balancing performance, cost, and sustainability
  • Creating technology that delivers real-world value

From idea to execution, this is a conversation about what it truly takes to build products that matter, where every watt counts, and every decision shapes impact.

Listen to “The 28-Watt Bet” and discover how thoughtful engineering can drive meaningful change.
