The Bold Company Podcast, hosted by Business Canterbury’s Hannah Weeds and Vaughan Fleming, offers a compelling glimpse into the dynamic world of Canterbury’s business community. In each episode, they sit down with visionaries driving innovation, resilience, and success in the region.
Episode 6
Episode 6 features Harmaan Madon, Founder of Alimentary Systems. In the podcast, we discuss the development of Alimentary Systems and how Harmaan’s childhood experiences in India and technical curiosity led him to innovate solutions for organic waste treatment. Harmaan also shares his journey from India to New Zealand and what drew him to settle – and start a business – in Christchurch.
He discusses the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurship and shares insights into the personal and professional sacrifices required to start and sustain a business. We also discuss Alimentary Systems’ upcoming milestone: building the world’s first commercial-scale plant in Nelson, a crucial step towards proving their technology’s effectiveness and achieving Harmaan’s vision of making their waste treatment technology accessible globally.
The first season of the podcast is sponsored by Christchurch Airport, growing the engine room for Canterbury business, with production support from the team at Ruffells, one of Christchurch’s leading creative studios.
