Startup:  SEMI-COLONS
Founder:  Rishabh Taluja, Rishabh Tiwari, Sarthak Vadalkar and  Meet Patel  
Website name:

Energy is the basic need for the development of the modern world. For meeting up the regular demand of energy we need to design a system that will produce electricity without destroying the nature. The focus now is shifting more and more towards the renewable sources of energy, which are essentially, non-polluting. This startup shows how energy can be produced, stored and used using the road transport pressure or any kind of pressure. 

The number of vehicles passing over the speed breaker in roads is increasing day by day. There is possibility of tapping the energy and generating power by making the speed breaker as a power generation unit. The generated power can be used for the lamps near the speed breakers and this will be a great boon for the rural villages too. 

The Wasted energy in the road speed breaker can be converted to the electrical energy by roller mechanism through several Energy conversion processes. The obtained electrical energy is in KW range which is sufficient to lighten the street lights and traffic signal. As the number of vehicle is increasing day by day, the designed system will be effective to solve the power crisis of the Country to some extent.

 
Startup: SPLINE CURVES
Founder:  Rutvij Kotecha, Dr. Jitendra Jethani, Devendra Kotecha and  Ishita Kotecha 
Website name:

Spline Curves is developing foldabale cheiroscope. Foldable Cheiroscope is designed for patients suffering from squint (Strabismus) and ‘lazy eye’ (Amblyopia). Although squint surgeries can align the eyes and make them look straight, the patients are recommended to use Foldable Cheiroscope to restore binocular vision. 

Similarly, patients with ‘lazy eye’ need to train themselves to fuse images from the dominant and the weak eye into a single image. During the training, a mirror separates the image seen by the eyes. One eye sees reflected image and the other eye sees image being tracked by the user. With practice, the brain will overlap the image from both the eyes. 

A Foldable Cheiroscope can test binocular vision and also help patients in improving it. It consists of a drawing pad, a pair of lenses, and mirror. It trains patients (who have poor binocular vision) to fuse images from both the eyes into a single image. As a result, the patient will develop binocular vision, which allows him / her to see in 3D and have a better depth perception.

 
Startup:  TATVA
Founder: Esha Shah, Dr. Anuradha Gajjar and Dr. Ashok Mahajan 
Website name: 

Looking beautiful is everyone’s right. And in the modern era of selfies, people wish to see themselves stunning. And for this purpose they end up using cosmetic items which have their different side effects. 

TATVA is working to find out solution for this problem. Being a biodegradable entity, cyclodextrin breaks down gradually in the body. Unlike other systems, which generally unload most of the drug (carried or entrapped by them) in a rapid and uncontrollable fashion, T.A.T.V.A offers controlled release of the actives, which is one of the major advantages of such systems compared to other nano-particulate delivery systems under development. 

The product is recently been explored and employed as solubilizing agents or nano-carriers for drug delivery in the field of Pharmaceuticals. Thus, T.A.T.VA would prove as an economical and practical way to improve the physicochemical and pharmaceutical properties such as solubility, stability, and bioavailability of administered bioactives or drug molecules and also promote use of products from natural origin in therapy. The entire approach is green, solvent free and biodegradable and eliminates the side effects of synthetic drugs, hence favoured.
