INTEGEReX42
INTElligent GEcko Research & eXploration boots
Team Leader
Improving Movement and Navigation in Low-gravity Environments using Van Der Waal’s Force.
INTEGEReX42 are space boots inspired from the concept of gecko adhesion using Van Der Waal’s force and are designed to help astronauts perform EVA's safely and efficiently. Setae arranged in the form of grids provide adhesion to the surface and thus would enable astronauts to navigate the surface easily and safely. By using infrared sensors and artificial intelligence, INTEGEReX42 can detect obstacles and alert the astronauts. The control unit used in INTEGEReX42 will be outsourced Arduino modules. The upper part of INTEGEReX42 is made using materials that can endure rough surfaces like that of the moon and are also self healing and recyclable. INTEGEReX42 are modular boots and hence can be customized as per the requirements of different EVA's and IVA's by adding or removing certain components.

Fridge.AI
An IoT Enabled Smart Refrigerator & Pantry using Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence
Team Leader
Food waste is one of the most recognisable areas of waste around the world, and in India. Smart Fridge/Pantry is a concept that uses IoT & Machine Learning to help prevent food waste, by sending alerts to a mobile app, when food in the fridge/pantry is going to spoil. This system can also be incorporated in supermarkets where a lot of food is spoiled. Meat is one of the most perishable foods. Decaying meat, cheese, and seafood produce Ammonia Gas. And thus, their spoilage can be detected by using Ammonia sensors. As some fruits and vegetables ripen, they release Ethylene, after which they start rotting (Climacteric). Some fruits, on the other hand, start rotting in the presence of Ethylene (Non-Climacteric). Thus spoilage of these fruits can be predicted/detected using Ethylene sensors.
Dencity- Zer0
A concept of Vertical Forestry & Housing
Made for the Dencity challenge 2016, it aims to provide slum dwellers a better mean of housing and employement and at the same time uplift the air quailty of Delhi.
Our project proposes to construct a multi-storey building consisting of 22 floors which include the first 2 floors to have an extravagant garden for revenue generation as an additional source to supplement the cost of construction of the building. The building is designed to provide a soothing environment bringing the solace of a rural life in urban centers. In addition, we look forward to creating a platform for employment generation by introducing the system of vertical forest building.
Aimed at Zer0 Slums, Zer0 Pollution, Zer0 Unemployment.
Goods & Service Tax (GST) - Its Dynamics & Impacts on the Indian Economy
GST (Goods and Services Tax) was the biggest indirect tax reform of India. GST is a single tax on the supply of goods and services. GST brings together state economies and improve overall economic growth of the nation.
I study the Dynamics and Impacts of GST, the gamechanger of the Indian Economy, launched by our PM, Narendra Modi.
The project comprises of: Introduction to GST; Pre-GST taxation system: Structure and Drawbacks; Current indirect tax regime vs GST; Objectives; Advantages; Disadvantages; Components: CGST, SGST/UTGST and IGST; Tax slabs under GST; Effect on prices of goods; Impact on gross domestic product (GDP): Positive and Negative Goods & services tax network (GSTN); My Views on GST.
