Sr.	Name of the PRAYASEEs	Brief description of the Project
1	Anupam Mukherjee	hydrodynamic cavitation as an innovative pre-treatment method to enhance biogas production. By breaking down complex organic matter efficiently, it improves substrate digestibility, accelerates anaerobic digestion, and increases methane yields. This approach addresses inefficiencies in conventional methods, offering a cost-effective, sustainable solution for waste-to-energy conversion and renewable energy production.
2	Harshitha	Adbuta 3D platform, represents a significant leap in motion platform technology, as a first-of-its-kind offering in India. The platform, also known as a Hexapod or Stewart Platform address need of equipment testing within the space and defense sectors, serving as the foundation for an immersive 3D Virtual Reality (VR) Chair.
3	K S Deepak	A portable, IoT enabled microfluidic colourimetric device for non destructive detection of Organophosphorus pesticide residues in food and environment
4	Pardha Sardhi	Design and fabrication of initial structure for drone test bench. Addition of sensor components into the drone test bench, Testing and Refinement
5	Dhawal Jain	Neuro-tech wearables use a technology called tDCS (or transcranial direct current stimulation) which has proven to have antidepressant effects at par with antidepressants, and potentially a great replacement/add-on.
6	Keshav Sharma	AR glasses for Aerospace, Real Estate & Automobile sectors to enable them in the design, simulation, editing & demonstration workflows using simple hand gestures.
7	Nikul Shah	To design and Fabricate RISK V / ADC based semiconductor SoC (uC/uP). ADAC Chipset Development Kit
8	Mr. Ritvik Yadav	Designing eVTOL for Air Taxi
9	Devmalya Biswas	Developing much more efficient propulsion systems for the already existing projectile systems of the country to increase their capabilities than what exists today. A full subsystem (pressurized fuel system) and a semi-sub-system (structure) of the full working prototype are to be achieved through NIDHI Prayas funding
10	Mr. Hriushikesh Wadekar	SparshMind is to revolutionize healthcare by providing holistic solutions that leverage technology, design, and education to address the physical and emotional challenges faced by patients and their families using AR/VR
11	Deepak Sharma	D Chain Self-Engergizing Braking system for 2 wheeler bikes
12	SOURYA CHOUDHURY	we primarily intend to build our UAVs for use by the indian Armed Forces for long range survillance and as loitering multistations. we shall also purpose it as custom UAVs for law enforcement agencies such as Railway police force.

12 innovators in 2022-2023

Sr.	Name of the PRAYASEEs	Brief description of the Project
1	Aryaman Bansal	These grippers will be working using the advance VLAM technology to handle the dynamic nature of pick and place using robotic arms
2	Shankar Babaji Jagdale	Development of a Robust IoT Device for Accurate Detection of Dead Chickens in Large- Scale Poultry Farms Using Edge AI and Multi-sensor Fusion of Thermal and RGBD Cameras
3	Parth Agarwal	We are combining electrostatic, photochemical and chemical methods of air filtration to make a unique air purifier that can remove almost all the toxic pollutants from the air. Our device would be made filterless for being capable of managing 10x the volume flow rates that are current industry norm.
4	Harsh Jain	Altheros is pioneering an innovative approach to early breast cancer detection by an advanced dual-modality approach that combines innovative thermal imaging and mechanical mapping techniques. Our system utilizes a novel thermal imaging device, engineered specifically for medical use, to detect abnormal heat patterns that may indicate tumor presence.
5	Sandip Shridharrao Deshmukh	ARPOD uses AI-powered vision and autonomous mobility to optimize warehouse operations. Itcombines deep learning (CNN/ViT/YOLO) for object detection, multi-sensor SLAM for navigation,and tactile sensing for precise object handling. A proprietary algorithm plans efficient pick-and-place sequences, reducing time, errors, and packaging waste.
6	Amritanjali Kiran	We are developing a minimally invasive blood test for early-stage detection of breast cancer
7	Naman Chawla	OrbitArch by Skorbitron Technologies is an innovative space-tech solution that enables satellites to autonomously detect and avoid space debris using real-time LiDAR sensing combined with onboard AI decision-making. Unlike traditional systems that depend on delayed, ground-based data, OrbitArch empowers satellites with in-orbit situational awareness and instant collision-avoidance capabilities.
8	Soham Yerandkar	Brief description of the idea highlighting innovative element. We are devloping high power density axial electric motors which weigh 30 - 50% less as well as in size compared to traditional radial flux motors.
9	Sirisha Damaraju	We are developing an advanced chemistry cell (ACC) that is indigenous to India, has significantly high power density compared to current lithium-ion battery technologies, and is safe to operate.
10	Sayan Roy	Modular Photobioreactor unit which will be used to treat the effluent and harvest the biomass produced.
11	Deependra Singh Shekhawat	At Tracexero we are removing industrial emission from point source directly through our modular reactors filled with our proprietary Zeolite based Solvent.
