Second Position, Siemens MakeItReal Hackathon
19th-20th December 2019
Siemens MakeItReal Hackathon was a 24 hours product development competition organized by Siemens and Hacker Earth. During the 24 hours, we developed our software and hardware setup for the product TaSafe: A foot wearable product, that can electrocute assailant and send an emergency alert to police and personal contacts.
Third Position, Rural Technology Hackathon
19th-22nd December 2018
Rural Technology Hacthon was a three-day hackathon where students from different colleges gathered at IIT Kharagpur to make their hardware model. Our team developed Peltier Chulha that later became Thermo-Electric Generator for Stoves and Chulha. Peltier Chulha is a product that can generate electricity from the waste heat of stoves and chulha (earthen stoves found in Indian Villages). As a finale, we generated around 6 Watts of power from our model and secured a third position in the competition.
First Position, Product Design Competition, INAE Youth Conclave
9th-10th August 2019
Presented a life saver bandage, Medicure, that when applied on wounds puts pressure on bruised area to prevent bleeding, stops the movement of fractured part and works as robust first aid in life threatening situations.
Participant, Clinton Global Initiative - University
19th - 21st October, 2018
Presented the project Evapo-Reefer, a truck concept based on evaporative cooling to prevent food wastage during transport.
Second Position, Prod-D, Prakriti
17th March 2018
Prakriti is an agricultural-based technology fest of IIT Kharagpur. We presented our product FireAxe, an attachable module to improve harvester to prevent stubble burning, and secured 2nd rank in Prod-D, a product design competition.
Participant, Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES)
3rd Febuary 2018
GES is a summit where people from different regions join IIT Kharagpur to present their idea to secure funding and promotion. In this summit, our team presented FireAxe: an attachable module for the harvester to prevent stubble burning
