This product is aimed at solving the bulk charging requirements of electronic gadgets in the future ahead. In all public places, airports, railway stations, corporate lobbies, hotels etc. charging Kiosks are the basic requirements.

They identified that most of the time farmers lose their paddy productivity due to sudden rains, drying of Paddy (food grain) is a tedious process and it holds lot of risk as the grains has to be laid down in open air for few days to get them dried. To address this problem, duo decided a solution which dries the food grains in closed room. This saves crores of agriculture output from wastage.
Idea 3: Water utility Monitoring: M Sandeep and P Sri Divya has struck with a clueless taught – what happens if the water scarcity exists, as it is a scarce resource in future and it is taught to monitor the water wastage. They designed a solution through mobile and web application, where the water supply agency (example GWMC) can describe a mechanism of quota system for each individual family and would implement charges accordingly. This idea will help increase of supply of water direct to homes.
