I found the mentor sessions extremely helpful, especially those that explored topics I hadn’t studied before, such as legal fundamentals and valuation. The expert finance session with Mr. Natarajan Gopalan helped me not only understand key concepts better but also learn how to apply them in real situations.
During Mr. Uday Saxena’s expert session, I learned a lot about how to present a startup pitch effectively, set clear expectations, and assess potential risks.
The one-on-one session with an expert was an eye-opener. It helped me gain clarity and perspective on my venture idea and understand how it could be improved.
To further support my venture, I would benefit from mentoring in AI development and user experience design, as well as connections with professionals in the food tech and sustainability sectors. Assistance with prototyping the app interface and features, and guidance on intellectual property and patenting, would also be valuable as I refine my concept.
Interacting with social impact entrepreneurs was deeply inspiring—their stories of struggle and success boosted my confidence in my own venture. The pitch session felt like a true startup moment. I seek support in product prototyping, mentorship from social enterprise founders, connections with artisan collectives, branding and e-commerce guidance, seed funding, and help in establishing a fair trade legal framework and IP protection.
Mr. Uday Saxena’s interactive session taught me about managing startup risks, creating a short and crisp elevator pitch, keeping investors engaged, and covering the right points when developing an idea.
The idea emerged from a desire to promote inclusivity and enhance learning experiences for individuals with visual impairments.
The solution Aquawrap addresses the environmental problem of single-use plastic, which constitutes 43% of India's total plastic consumption.
Student athletes and hobbyists often face the challenge of managing multiple types of footwear for different sports, leading to excess spending, clutter, and waste.
Initial explorations aimed at creating a simple reading aid evolved through extensive research, user interactions, and AI-assisted analysis into a deeper understanding of accessibility challenges faced by visually impaired and dyslexic learners. Our refined problem definition focuses on enhancing inclusivity and independence in education through innovative assistive technology.
This led to the development of VisionScan, an AI-powered device designed to convert printed text into speech in real time. Integrating optical character recognition (OCR) and text-to-speech (TTS) technology within a portable framework, VisionScan empowers users to access printed information effortlessly. Unlike conventional tactile tools such as Braille, which require specialized learning and resources, VisionScan offers a practical, immediate, and scalable solution. By combining affordability, functionality, and user-centric design, it strives to foster independence, confidence, and equal participation in educational and social settings for people with visual impairments.
The core innovation is creating a durable, biodegradable, and cost-effective bioplastic packaging alternative for eco-conscious businesses.
The team iterated through five recipes, with the latest, achieving improved elasticity and eliminating a bad odor. While the formula is now more elastic and scented, challenges remain with low shear strength, self-adhesion, and low water/heat resistance. Aquawrap aims to supply biodegradable cling film to industrial, small businesses, and stationery packaging markets.
To address this, there is a need for a versatile, multi-purpose solution that adapts across various terrains and activities while promoting financial responsibility and convenience.
Solix Shoes offers an innovative answer - a modular footwear system designed to adjust to different sports, allowing users to explore multiple activities without the financial burden of buying separate shoes, thereby reducing waste and simplifying their active lifestyles. The team is prototyping and testing the interchangeable mechanism with industry experts.
