Leaving a prestigious job to pursue one’s heart calling is the new normal these days. But the journey of these men is different. They programmed ultimate magic with what they created after leaving golden opportunities, calling them out from different parts of the world.

Introducing to you, Anil Mishra and Sachin, the co-founders of “FarmTree”. A hardcore developer by profession, Anil has been a part of the Indian IT industry for 5 years and dynamically worked in 11 states of the country.
Sachin, on the other hand, is a technical maven by the mind and an intellectual thinker at heart. His enriched experience in the domain of product architecture and other technical nuances is laudable.

However, as their stars would have it, the result of Anil and Sachin joining hands was nothing ordinary but FarmTree – a one-in-all dairy solution app and more.

It was Avik, Anil’s batchmate at college who identified the pressing need for technological upgradation in the realm of dairy farming. He interacted with farmers, observed their practices and assimilated data which acted as the launchpad for FarmTree.

Incidentally, Avik shared his farm experiences and introduced Anil and Sachin to two farmers who were desirous of having a customised farm management software. After hearing to the pain-points of the farmers, Anil and Sachin
explored the realms of dairy farming, visited small dairy farms of 5-10 hectares. Subsequently, they realised that there was an undeniable need of a dairy management platform to organise it. The duo was then convinced and
prompted to invest their heart and soul into this sphere and decided to create a platform which becomes a dairy farming guide for the farmers. The agenda was to enable and equip farmers with the right tools to assess and boost long-term profitability through an automated software. The astounding quality of FarmTree’s software was underpinned by the cognitive and intellectual abilities of both geniuses.

The plight they discover was being a medium scale dairy farm with the well-equipped system installed on the farm, management issue was severe and had a huge impact on the revenue of farms due to lack of cattle health and activity tracking. The lack of knowledge and management creates an impact on cattle’s health resulting low yield leading to farmer’s loss. After a specific period, if proper actions not taken, farmers make a minimum loss of 6500 INR in every 21 days from a cow. This is a huge impact on their livelihood and this is where they decided to avail
system to most of the farmers and came up with a dairy management platform than a standalone software. The platform is as economical as it cost a maximum of 15 paise per litre and can be used by technologically challenged
farmers. The system tracks the expected breeding activity in the herd, communicate to farmer ahead of time and help to increase the revenue of farmers.

It has relieved farmers of the manual task of cattle productivity assessments, quality checks, monitoring production, tracking growth, ensuring improvement and more. The app which took almost 1.5 years to build the
application has been successfully serving for the last 6 months and shall continue for the longest time to come.
FarmTree is today creating immense possibilities in the relatively uncharted realms of dairy farming and cattle production. The software has pioneered the journey of digitising cattle farming. The software which has proved to be a benison for farmers across the country is now accredited as India’s most effective way of automating farmers daily chores. They have also been felicitated as the second best Agri-AI venture amongst a bunch of 219 others
across the country. The team has made a continuous effort on the field to upgrade and develop a system with a vision to support the pain point of Indian dairy farmers. In a span of 2 years, as part of our journey, they traveled more than 1 lakh km on Royal

Enfield across several states and met many farmers to consult and spread knowledge on data management.
FarmTree is today bringing happiness and smiles to a large community of Indian farmers. They want to increase their pace and require funds for that. They target to reach 1000 farmer sheltered 25000 cows and need your
support in this. Help them in bridging the technology gap between the big dairy players and the small farmers.

According to the 2011 census, India’s differently-abled population stands at 2.68 crores and according to WHO, around 100 million are people with special needs including senior citizens and people with severe health disorders. Surprised? Well, you should be.

Disabled- friendly infrastructure has not dawned on India completely, which hinders the accessibility, hampers movement and also limits the social interaction of disabled people having moderate to severe disability levels. And as this was not enough, people also struggle with clothing and fashion because of their disability due to the dearth of ‘Adaptive Clothing’ in India. There are almost none clothing line designed especially for those who are bedridden, a wheelchair user, senior citizens, suffering from age-related and limited mobility issues and they have to end up with adjusting to the conventional clothing.

To confront this, ‘BillionAbles’ has turned up with India’s only adaptive clothing line “Clothing4All” which has been designed especially for ALL, yes ALL. Adaptive Clothing makes it breezy and changes everyday clothing into styles that can be easily worn by people with physical disabilities. It is designed to make it easy to dress/undress by providing easy access to certain body parts without having to fully remove any clothing, making life simpler for everyone.

About the Initiators

BillionAbles is a social enterprise working towards accessibility, inclusion and empowerment of persons with disabilities by introducing them to a more inclusive and accessible world.

The company is the brainchild of Sameer Garg, disabled due to a spinal injury two decades ago and Deepak Kumar, the technical wizard of the company. ‘BillionAbles’ is India’s first all-inclusive online platform to discover accessible places, products and services for the person with disabilities, special needs and elderly. The website currently has 350 listings among various categories across India with more than 2000 users actively using the platform and the number grows each day. It has a strong presence in Delhi, Rajasthan and Goa with verified listings added to daily.

Insights of Adaptive Clothing

Contrived for the people with physical disabilities who experience difficulty in dressing themselves due to the lack of motion required for self-dressing, Adaptive Clothing caters remedy to their inability of manipulating closures, such as buttons and zippers.

Adaptive clothing typically offers rear-closure designs so that an individual can be dressed more easily. A common misconception of adaptive clothing is that it is only for wheelchair users or others that suffer from severe disabilities. While these groups do benefit from the garments, adaptive clothing is for anyone that can be limited by traditional clothing. Adaptive items use different features such as Velcro closures and magnetic buttons to make dressing easier, while still having the outward appearance of typical clothing. Other tweaks include using flat seams and replacing standard tags with tag less options to allow more comfort to the skin.

Apprehending the traction

Some of the milestones Clothing4All has achieved so far:

• More than 1000 users are availing their services on web and mobile app.
• Selected in Catapooolt Product Czars along with the top 50 startups from India.
• Featured on All Major Media Platforms(Your Story, GadgetsNdtv, The Hindu, Indian Express, VC Circle, BWDisrupt, Businessworld ) to name a few.

It’s an attempt at leveling the playing field so that this long-ignored segment can go out and have fun, just like the majority of the population. Your support will help them in the validation of the concept and pitch to the investors for making it a commercially viable and sustainable business model. Help this crowdsourced social revolution to empower the persons with special needs by introducing them to a more accessible world.

Mankind already knows the real picture of fossil fuels at present which is getting depleted at an exceptional rate. As the dependence on fossil fuels has been rising at such a tremendous rate, the debate over other mechanisms for the use of renewable energy has intensified. Keeping this in mind we caught our eyes on a startup named ‘Flash’. Flash showcases a High power density energy storage device with quick operating time and long cycle life.

Krishna Suresh Pawar, a Fourth-year undergraduate student currently pursuing Mechanical engineering at Sinhgad Institute of Technology, Pune got his interest inclined towards Engineering  when he used to draw Futuristic vehicles on the back pages of his academic books in the school. This turned out to be more interesting for him when he tried converting these drawings on paint but unfortunately failed due to improper sync between his imagination and technicalities of the software. In the third year of engineering itself, a true spirit of working on Green Energy got generated in him when he realized this one disturbing fact regarding the lack of technological advancement in India. He started conducting research on Super-capacitors.

He realized the shocking Technological advantages of Super-capacitors as compared to batteries. Although batteries are termed as high energy supplying devices, the main disadvantage of batteries is that their structure’s architecture gets disturbed with time causing the life span to decrease.

                                                                                                                Product layout

The existing Li-on batteries contain the problem of low power density. Low charging- discharging rate takes a lot of time of the users. Along with less cyclic life, the disadvantage is the level toxicity batteries contain. On the other hand, EC’s comes in the spotlight due to its fast charge/discharge capabilities and superior cycle life. Considering these facts, this device can be implemented in numerous applications where a situation occurs where you need sudden power supply without any undesirable problems occurring.

Keeping one thing in his mind that the biggest Entrepreneurs in the world are Engineers, Krishna along with his roommate started working on how to commercialize the product on the parallel track of his Research work. He was assured of the fact that business model is of much more importance and you only gain the planned outcomes with a well-planned strategy. Flash is in its initial startup phase and the future work consists of validation and evaluating the valuation, both work been conducted on parallel tracks, thereby covering vast topics within a short period of time.

                                                                                           Product pitch at Catapooolt event.

This product has got selected in an ongoing Crowdfunding event organized by Catapooolt where the top 15 startups will make it up to the investor’s table. The campaign describes the overall product, how different it is from other products, the timeline and finally the strength of the product. The campaign has attracted an investor and is willing to invest only if they achieve 50K before the campaign ends.

Research & development in simple words means developing the work in a substantial manner for the benefit of society. This concept is far more degraded in India and especially in the field of Energy. The roof-breaking demand for Green energy conversion and conservation led the founders to think of commercializing their work in the market. It would not only help contribute towards India’s economy but also providing a satisfying comfort to the rural regions.

Considering the highly elevated demand for Green energy, Flash resembles a highly promising technology and will become a highlight in the future. They need your support in initializing the process of commercializing the project since it is majorly dependent upon the R&D. The amount will help them to motivate and work further towards building a promising product for the benefit of society. They want to fasten up the pace and proceed towards another product/program which would be an advanced version of the existing work. Be a boost for them to starting a new segment of products in the market and be a part of the change. You can contribute them at https://www.catapooolt.com/flash .

How does the SkippQ app work?

SkippQ is a Self-Checkout app for faster checkouts and seamless shopping experience. It enables the customers to just “Scan, Pay and Goes” out seamlessly. Using SkippQ, they can also keep a live track on the product offers and also check their expenses in the app’s virtual cart that helps them to avoid going over budget. Even if they forget their wallet at home, SkippQ will help them to purchase things and allow them to do online payments (UPI, e-Wallets & Credit/Debit Cards) through the app itself.

The self-checkout app will be available on Google Play and Apple Store to the end customers. Once a customer downloads the app, he/she will be required to login. The app’s homepage will showcase the entire list of partnered stores and after selecting any of the stores; it will enable the customer to self-checkout and will also provide all new offers that are running at that time.

The information of the product scanned will appear on their smartphone’s screen with the details of price and quantity. After adding products to cart, the app will ask customers to pay. They will be provided with multiple payment options like a credit card, debit card, UPI, e-wallets, internet banking and etc. The app has an integrated loyalty program that will be visible under payment options.

Team behind SkippQ

SkippQ is developed by 2 engineering graduates Neeraj Kumar & Devarshi Mishra. After passing out from KIET, Ghaziabad in 2015, they worked in IT industry for more than 2 years and later on, both of them left their jobs and pooled their entire savings to make an impact in the offline retail segment using the power of AI.

The team recently on-boarded Mr. Saarthak Bakshi (CEO, IFC | Forbes 30 under 30 Asia) as Strategic Advisor to their company AIMagnifi Technologies Pvt. Ltd. in order to strengthen the team’s leadership position in its core markets.

After taking a year to develop the technology, the team is currently an on-going couple of pilot programs in Delhi-NCR and looking forward to testing before launch. Currently, in retail, they are targeting hypermarkets, supermarkets, grocery and apparel stores and in the later phase, they are planning to cover F&B space as well.

Is the retail market ready for this?

In this digital era of online shopping, there are more than 90% of the people who still prefer to go out for offline shopping in order to spend time with their loved ones. People still like to touch and feel the items before buying it. But standing in long queues spoils the overall experience & that’s the pain most of the people complain about.

In last one and half year Amazon Go, Hypercity, Future group, Croma retail and Zara app has already shown the potential of self-checkout in India and abroad. Also, the customers have started adapting latest technological advancements in the retail industry.

The team believes that this is the right time to make an entry into this market segment as people have easy access to smartphones and they also have developed a taste for digital mobile payment & smart stores.

Why Crowdfunding & How SkippQ app managed to raise INR 1.36 lacs in less than 3 weeks?

“Crowdfunding allows us to read and analyze the market readiness from a customer’s perspective. Despite the fundraising support, it helps us to validate the concept and get real-time feedback. Furthermore, it also eases down the fundraising process through VCs/investors.  Moreover, we have got a wide range of rewards for our valuable backers. Our campaign backers will get early access to skippq along with special discounted offers. They’ll also receive surprise goodie bag, free prime access and will also get featured on our website & social media channels.” – says Neeraj

They managed to raise INR 1.36 lacs in less than 3 weeks via crowdfunding platform Catapooolt under the mentorship support of Mohd. Sirajuddin (Director at Creator’s Gurukul | Catapooolt | DesiredWings). To all the folks out there, if you haven’t had a chance to see what the buzz is all about, here’s a peek: https://www.catapooolt.com/skippq

Seeing the overwhelming response from general public they are thrilled to launch their product soon.

What’s next?

“After successfully completing the pilot phase, we’ve planned a load of things ahead of us. We’re looking to expand & partner-up with multiple stores in Delhi-NCR the next 3 months. Then, in order to scale up and expand across different cities, we’ll be going for fundraising support.” – says Neeraj

Furthermore, with a futuristic vision in mind the Research and Development team of AIMagnifi are making groundbreaking efforts to revolutionize the offline retail sector. The company is developing a 360° Intelligent retail suite powered with AI to digitize, personalize & modernize the overall offline retail experience. And, they are planning to roll out other products in the later phase of the year. Here’s demo of the product on: https://youtu.be/THFxVaZ7H4E

The man behind this idea is Kamran Murad, a man who believes in learning and making an impact in the world we live in. He comes from a poor financial background and entered his college back in 2014. His entrepreneurial journey dates back to taking up a separate subject known as entrepreneurship skill development and with small projects like a river cleaner from waste plastic bottles and floppy drives, a segway from scrap wood, a drone fly, a pelton turbine, and a lathe machine from drills, every semester.

Thermos Energia is a revolutionary device in the world of energy, where you get to produce your own electricity by just using the energy you waste while cooking, driving, or using machineries, i.e, heat energy. Now with this device, you can generate your own electricity, store it too in batteries, while you are busy cooking food. Even a candle, with the help of this device, during a power cut, in cities, can power up your phone, light up bulbs and can run small fans.

It is basically a Peltier circuit-based device that used the temperature gradient to produce electricity. More the gradient, more the electricity produced. In the prototype so developed, heat source so used was a candle, which successfully produced 80°F temperature difference, creating a potential difference of 5volts in 6 minutes, which is more than enough for LED lighting and running small fans etc.

This startup got a breakthrough in September 2017, when participated in Indian Chamber of Commerce, Startup pad held in Kolkata, West Bengal and came out as winners of the event. The idea of converting waste heat from candles and brick kilns was highly appreciated. They were asked to develop prototypes, and products and were so eagerly waiting to do the same. Their vision is to make every individual realise that electricity can come to their house with zero additonal bills, no matter where you are, in desert, forests or in hills. They aim to make Thermos Energia- a necessary device in the emergency kit given to any relief places affected by natural calamities.

Thermos Energia is no castle in the air ; it is already into a prototype, which is operating successfully. They have their market researches and surveys done and are in preliminary talks with prospective companies who can possibly buy and use it on their auto mobiles on a large scale.

This product has been appreciated both in and outside India. They have won many allocodes and now here they are among the top 50 in India at an ongoing event by Catapooolt. They aim to make every individual. We aim to make every individual- electricity independent, free from dependency on nature, or electricity board. As they says, ‘We just need some mentoring from the business-world experts to guide us through the process, along with a seed fund and a satisfactory workspace to carry on our project’. Help them funding their project and enabling them to carry on their vision of “ LIGHTING UP INDIA AND MAKING IT SELF SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE THEIR OWN ELECTRICITY.”

Now your chulhas, or gas stoves, or even a candle in your drawyer, can give you power in emergency, and can save you immense power too. Support Thermos Energia and crowdfund them at https://www.catapooolt.com/i-upaay

Romantaque is inspired from a Sanskrit word, ‘Roma’ means Hair, and ‘Antak’ means destroyer,“Romantaque” – destroyer of Hair. Romantaque is designed to get rid of unwanted hair on arms, legs, face (chin, upper lip, eyebrows and side locks) , underarms, ear lobes (pinna) and bikini line.

The lady behind this idea is Dr.Mrinmayee Bhusan. Dr. Mrinmayee Bhushan’s journey towards innovation began when she enrolled for her post graduate MSc (Microbiology) program at Pune University way back in 1992. It happened when she was working for her assignment on Protein Synthesis and Protein Synthesis Inhibitors. At that time one of her female relatives was suffering from PMS (Post Menopausal Syndrome), leading to abnormal facial hair growth. The lady in mid 40s felt the embarrassment and started avoiding public contact. It was painful for her to see a vivacious lady imploding, because of this Mrinmayee began to wonder if the solution lay in protein synthesis inhibitors, and if they could be used to retard the growth of unwanted hair. Ultimately, hair is a product of protein synthesis.

Mrinmayee envisaged a solution that would stop hair growth altogether, rather than just removing hair periodically. She thought of using plant derived protein synthesis inhibitors to stop unwanted hair growth. Then began the journey of developing the product and exploring the path of patents. With limited available resources, Romantaque was developed as a cosmetic. The key processing part was developed by Department of Bio-Medical Engineering of IIT Bombay under TePP grant of DST – GOIndia.

Romantaque is the only clinically proven herbal product that inhibits hair growth. Another clinically proven hair-growth inhibiting product is Vaniqa (pronounced as Van-i-ka). But unlike Romantaque, it is a chemical formulation and does not work well for everybody. Most permanent hair-removal methods, such as laser treatment and electrolysis, are very expensive and have side-effects. Moreover, these methods may not be equally effective for everyone, depending on their age, skin and hair color. Affordable options like waxing and shaving have a very short relief span.

Whereas Romantaque can be used by women or men, as long as they are able to bear the pain of hair removal by mechanical force like in TWEP -Threading, Waxing, Epilation or Plucking. TWEP is an American abbreviation which represents ‘termination with extreme prejudice’, where an elimination of a thing is desired as final destination. TWEP followed with Romantaque also takes the Unwanted Hair to the same destination of non-existence.

Romantaque is very simple to use. It needs to be applied 24 hours after a hair-removal session (such as Threading, Waxing, Plucking or Epilation) and then twice a day for the next 10 days. This cycle has to be repeated after every hair- removal session that is delayed gradually. Over time it results in perceptible stage after the second or third cycle. Fewer hair regrow and hair is shorter in length and thinner. As hair growth reduces, so does the pain involved in hair removal. Also, one does not need to go for hair removal as often.

When it comes to working mechanism, hair removal from the follicle, for example, by waxing, epilating, threading or plucking, opens up the orifice and exposes the hair follicles. When Romantaque is applied regularly, these follicles are either partially or completely deactivated, resulting in reduced weak hair growth or no regrowth.

Romantaque is powered by :

1.  Latest patent-protected technology, to enhance the speed of the treatment, and to conquer the doggedness of hair to grow back.
2.  This hair follicle targeted cutting edge technology delivers the actives of Romantaque precisely to the hair follicle. This technology makes it highly efficient in reducing the hair re-growth. After each hair removal, Romantaque is advised to be used regularly by the user, twice a day for 10 days.

Consistency and regularity in Romantaque treatment show wonderful results. And the user enjoys the dividends of hair-free skin for a long duration.

Now having walked this path so long from lab to market in boot strapping mode for last 15 years, Romantaque is looking for investors who are willing to shoot high, to fund a product that will be the “Botox from India”. While they are far away from the goal of Rs 5 Lakh at Catapooolt #Productczars now, their immediate next goal is funding of USD 4 Million.

So whether it is a super model, superstar or an ordinary girl, we all have unwanted hairs on our body. For some we have answers in the form of beard turning it into a macho statement but others have to compromise it with tolerating the pain. So now what are you waiting for? Crowdfund this ultimate solution and get yourself rid of the pain you have to bear. There goes a saying, early bird gets the worm. Here is one we have been talking about,  https://www.catapoolt.com/Romantaque

The facts reveal that 86% customers switch brands in the first year itself. So, in this era of Millennials who are not at all Brand Loyal there is an urge to asset a key that will help businesses address this big problem. And that key comes in a way of “Gamicopter”, a Mobile Gamification and Customer Loyaltyplatform.

What are the insights? The initiators behind this startup are Agile Akanksha Communication Private Limited bootstrapped by two technocrats who envisions at solving business problems with a global, Mobile Gamification brand. Analogous to the cloud’s software as a service (SaaS) model, GamiCopter (https://gamicopter.com/)   enables businesses to engage customers without writing a single line of software code or investing upfront in technology. Typical app functionality includes Contests, Challenges, Sweepstakes, Rewards and Coupon marketing.

Agile Limited is in line with following viewpoint-

“Customer loyalty is driven by superior experience, and not by driving price cuts, offering paybacks, or forcing points thresholds on customers”.

Instead of force loyalty, gamification is driven by competitions, leaderboards, medals, badges and much more. Thus motivate the customers through a whole truss of fun and luck game mechanics with instant gratification. Besides addressing the limitations of traditional approaches Gamicopter aspires to improve buying propensity, sales growth, and driving loyalty behavior.

                                                                            Marketing Gamification and Customer Loyalty Apps

Until now businesses have relied on low price strategy to create demand which often gets vulnerable to competitor under-cutting and cash burn-out. Moreover, by forcing point thresholds on customers, Loyalty Programs aren’t delivering the results a Brand expects. Therefore, Gamicopter comes into the picture to let businesses harness digital medium, not just to capture leads, but to create a better demand.

A brand is nothing but an expression of the consumer’s loyalty and trust. And to build that trust is not breezy. Therefore, Gamicopter’s elite technology is supported by an editorial & content service team, which ensures content that resonates with the client’s brand image.

The journey ahead

A research conducted by Ambient Insights reveal that -Game-based global revenue in 2012 was $1,548 million, and with a five year CAGR of 8.3% and seems to progressively appear at multifarious environments too. Thus, as the Gamification trend tends to accelerate, Gamicopter have an early mover advantage in this domain.

Gamicopter needs your support to enable them demonstrate traction and market validation and in order for achieving this they have opt the option of Crowdfunding. Crowdfunding is an easier and effective way of getting your product funded and market to a large number of people and availing other benefits associated. Gamicopter have been selected in the topmost 50 startups of India in an event named ‘Product Czars’ by Catapooolt.

With an excessive focus on Likes, social media’s potential too remains underutilized. GamiCopter enables brands to play on superior customer and creative mobile experiences that trigger buying motivations and loyalty behavior”. With GamiCopter,

businesses harness digital medium, not just to capture leads, but a create demand. Gamification in the corporate sector predicts huge possibilities in the upcoming future and gamicopter is a big leap in the journey. GamiCopter re-defines the Go-To-Market Strategy for Brands, enabling them to engage customers at a deeper level, with superior, creative and consistent digital experiences.

Contribute them so that they can help businesses reach greater audience and greater heights by engaging with their customers and build a brand. The future of game mechanics blending with the corporate world is here! A new digitized experience awaits for you. Here’s a chance for all the ‘brand lovers’ to to let your favorite brands offer something more than they were doing and enhance the way they engage with you, at https://www.catapooolt.com/gamicopter

HoloSuit is the first product from Kaaya Tech – the world’s first affordable, bi-directional, wireless and easy to use full body motion capture suit. With options for 26 or 36 embedded sensors and nine haptic feedback devices dispersed across both arms, legs, and all ten fingers combined with six embedded buttons, HoloSuit captures the user’s entire body’s movement data and uses haptic feedback to send information back to the user, for scenarios including sports, healthcare, education, entertainment or industrial operations.

HoloSuit was started when the founder got a fitness challenge in their Microsoft Research team. They were supposed to wear the fitness tracker and perform exercise and whichever team had maximum calories burnt would get the team reward. After doing rigorous yoga for 2 hours, the fitness tracker said: “2 calories burnt!”. That was the moment when the founders decided that we cannot have fitness trackers which hallucinate data and treat headstand and leg stand the same! So they created HoloSuit which tracks all the body joint motion accurately, so that you will know exactly how your body moved when you did the workout – whether yoga, karate or cricket. You can store it and review it in 3D and watch your progress in fitness over time. VR and AR are becoming more immersive and natural as resolution field-of-view increase while the latency decreases. But the controller remains the Achilles heel of mixed reality, with cumbersome and unnatural handheld devices only tracking your hand movement in a limited range. Here’s is the solution for that. HoloSuit provides you an unparalleled immersive, full-body and bidirectional AR/VR/MR experience. The product goes well beyond gaming and is so powerful that it can be utilized for real-life, mission-critical situations such as sports, education, neuro-rehab, combat training, surgery, and even filmmaking.

Perfectly suited for indoor and outdoor use, the fashionable, lightweight and affordable four-piece suit starts at Rs. 7000 for a single finger glove and scales up a pro version consisting of a jacket, pants and two gloves. It will be available in different sizes, is machine washable and can be sold as separate items or as a complete suit. It also features nine integrated haptic exciters that provide physical feedback to the user. HoloSuit can be connected to and used with all kinds of devices, including PCs and smartphones, as well as VR hardware like HTC Vive, Oculus Rift/Go, Microsoft’s HoloLens, Samsung Gear VR and more – entirely over Bluetooth LE & Wi-Fi with no wires to connect.

The HoloSuit team is comprised of 15+ stellar AR/VR, IoT, and Robotics experts dedicated to developing precision motion capture solutions for immersive VR applications, film production, education, and mission-critical applications. They have over 37 patents from around the world in AR/VR, robotics, human-robot interaction, sensor fusion. As any product based startups, they require funds for carrying out activities such as mechanical RnD , sourcing and a lot more. Currently, they are participating in an ongoing event by Catapooolt for raising money through crowdfunding. Top 15 startups will make it to the investor’s table pitching their ideas.

Holosuit is already being used to help people with disabilities to regain their body motion and to help kids to train them for sports. The scope and market for the product are so huge ranging from village kids, helping defense forces to enable virtual labs to conduct experiments. The startup is focusing to revolutionize the era of the virtual world. They need your support in making a difference in people’s day to day life. So if you want to see more sportspersons bringing medals for your country do contribute to Holosuit. Early adopters can pre-order HoloSuit components or an entire suit on www.catapooolt.com/holosuit.

As informed by one of the founders, Wryde has a vision to make 2-Wheeler riding more convenient and safer by incorporating smart technology in the accessories used during riding. Currently they are developing a smart helmet which will allow the rider to navigate, make/receive calls, and access notifications with see-through display directly on the helmet visor. You’d surely have seen the Iron Man, with his super-tech mounted display helmet; Wryde claims to bring you one for real in the near future. The reason why it all began is, as quoted by the founder “With the increased penetration of Internet connectivity in India, the use of GPS navigation service has become very prominent. It is not only used to navigate through unknown routes, but also to estimate the travel time and choose the best route adapting to the live traffic information. As an enthusiastic 2W rider and an avid user of GPS service, I found it very difficult, and at times life threatening to refer to my mobile while riding. Hence I, along with my friends, started working on how to solve this problem”.

With this in mind, a genuine query arises- will an on-visor display not distract the rider? As per the technical team of the Wryde- “The imaging technology used will generate a virtual image which will always be in focus irrespective of whether the rider is looking at far off objects or at any nearby object. In this way rider can always stay focused on the road and at the same time view the displayed information without any stress on his eyes. This in-fact will be a better solution in terms of safety compared to cars, where the driver has to refer a mobile mounted either on a windshield or on a dashboard, by taking his eyes off the road”.

Setting up as a premium brand, Wryde is targeting a very niche market of medium/high-end bikes and superbikes in India. Riders owning such bikes are often associated with various riding clubs or groups. Hence they have formed the best audience for this innovative smart helmet, as it will aid them to commute and stay connected in their adventurous rides. This small fraction of riders forms a market size of around 14 lakhs p.a. out of the total 2W sales of 176 lakhs p.a. in India. Even when asked various times, Wryde didn’t disclose the cost of the product. They did drop a few hints indicating that the targeted selling price would be less than 30k.

Unlike any service based startup, where the majority of the work is related to the partnership agreement and soft work, a product based startup also requires a lot of mechanical RnD, international sourcing, custom hardware developments, and facilities to prototype the product, which means a lot of initial capital to be put in. Wryde aims to raise an amount of Rs 5 lakhs from their crowdfunding round and facilitate some of the above-mentioned activities. In addition to this, if they are able to get onboard with few angel investors by October 2018, then we can expect the India’s first smart helmet to be launched by early 2020.

Let Wryde succeed in their endeavor to develop and bring this amazing product in the market and make the roads more safe, convenient and enjoyable for all 2W riders.  Readers can show their support for Wryde by contributing in their crowdfunding campaign; and at the same time grab upon some exciting gifts.

The idea of this project came to the founder’s mind when one of their friends .who was suffering from asthma rushed upstairs to his class and collapsed due to an asthma attack. He was not carrying his inhaler and therefore had to be taken to the emergency room. This lightened up the idea, “what if our phones can remind us to take inhalers with us?’’

During their research the founders find that the real issue is that chronic diseases like Asthma and COPD requires a strict adherence to medications from the patients to which around 250,000 people fails to do so. A disheartening fact about this disease is that most asthma deaths occur in India and one of the major reasons for that is the carelessness that people show towards complying with the medications. To tackle this, there arises a need to bring such a strong management system which will help aware people of the mismanagement issues.

RespirON is a smart metered dose inhaler (MDI) which aims to help asthma and COPD patients manage their disorder in an efficient way with a blend of technology. It includes a three tier system which involves a smart inhaler, a smartphone application and the cloud. The inhaler tracks the medicine compliance and synchronizes the data with the smart phone app of the patient. The startup is one of its kind which aims to revolutionize the daily life of patients suffering from chronic diseases. The features are as the following:

• Puff Counter tells medicine left.
• Usage Monitoring for health analysis.
• Find Device to find inhaler.
• Reminders to adhere to medicines.
• Out of Range to never forget the inhaler.

Now arises the general query, how does it works? The application tracks the usage of the inhaler and uploads all the data onto the cloud where analytics is done. The companion app displays the information regarding the canister it holds, the puffs left, tips regarding the proper usage of an inhaler, low medicine alert, etc. Patients can visualize their compliance and adherence to medication in the dashboard (web and mobile app). Along with the patients, it also enables doctors to have a real time check on their patient’s health. In the doctor’s dashboard, patient’s concerned doctor can monitor the usage pattern of device which would help them to treat their patients better. Also, they can maintain their medical history in a better manner.

RespirON is very easy to use. You just have to install the RespirON app in your smartphone , have to connect it with your inhaler by turning on Bluetooth and that’s it. RespirON has walked quite a long path making necessary iterations to the product on regular basis with the feedback of patients and doctors. They have also received an award from Indian and Israeli Govt., felicitated by PMs of India & Israel. They were selected as the Digital Health Winners in India-Israel Innovation Bridge Challenge.

They are currently working on their pilot through the development of beta version of their product and plan to release limited number of devices with a nominal price tag by the second quarter of 2018. Having known the number of people suffering from asthma and COPD diseases the scope of this product is really high. What they need is your support and funds in bringing this product to the market.
