 So I'll begin. Yes, yeah. Hello. Hello and good afternoon. Thank you for being a part of the Misfits journey. Today we embark on Misfits 2.0, finding the most impactful change makers from South Asia. Misfits is a virtual pitch event which is running across 15 regions and creating a platform for social entrepreneurs, innovators and change makers to showcase and connect and expand their horizons. Now Misfits is not just any other pitch event. We are trying to build a community which keeps growing till we do this again. It's a community platform to engage all these stakeholders, change makers and entrepreneurs which will be launched on the final pitch today. Misfits has an impact focus. We are building ecosystem to seed future entrepreneurs and to ensure sustainability for the existing ones. These are some of our focus regions. Misfits is aimed to be a South Asia level pitch event for social impact change makers, people like yourself. These are our phenomenal set of global partners. We are powered by Crowdera, Impact Pod and E-Cell IM3C. We are partnered with Willgrow as a knowledge partner and co-organizer with Monimpact. Now I'd like to share a brief about Vruksh. Vruksh is a section A non-profit called NACUR. We are a think tank seeding innovation ecosystem. The genesis of Vruksh was when we realized that instead of running, instead of starting one company to power one or a couple of entrepreneurs, how about we try to power thousands of entrepreneurs at the grassroots level itself? And that is the purpose behind starting Vruksh that we foster entrepreneurship at the grassroots level, looking at the tier three and tier four cities of India. At Vruksh, we have a saying, it's not about ideas in the morning, making ideas happen. We are always on the lookout for new ideas. It can come from our interns by talking to people in random meetings. We are joined here today by Pauline Lara Boyer. She is the co-founder of Y-East, a social impact change maker in the Northeast of India. She holds a master's degree in sustainability and social innovation. She comes with an experience in strategy consulting, social entrepreneurship and impact assessment. She is also currently the sustainability director at Techno India Group. And she is a strong passion individual who wants to build communities and organizations towards sustainability. Pauline, we would love to hear about your journey coming back to India, starting Y-East, over to you. Oops, sorry, can you hear me well? Absolutely, yes. Great, hi everyone. Thank you for the lovely introduction and the warm invite. It's a pleasure to be associated with Misfits for the past couple of years with representing Y-East now. It's a pleasure to be able to join today's event. I would like to congratulate the whole team for the endless efforts towards building social entrepreneurship ecosystems. And it really is a sincere thank you for all of the opportunities that you're offering to budding entrepreneurs and beyond. So really, really happy to be associated. Just a few words about my journey. And again, I'd love to continue the conversation with each and every one of you if you want to connect further after the event. I come from France. I've spent my whole life back there in Paris until I moved to Kolkata a bit more than three years ago now. After, as you said, after my master's degree in sustainability and social innovation, I was doubly lucky to be studying at a university back there in Paris called HEC Paris. And I was twice lucky for these two reasons. The first one is before finalizing my master's degree, the university let the opportunity for the students to take a gap year off their studies, which I took the opportunity to travel around the world for a year. And with three friends, we did a series of social impact assessment studies for not-for-profits in Africa, in India. That was my first time in India back then in South America, back to France. That was a lovely experience. And then the second time I got lucky is because this university has this specialization in sustainability and social innovation. That's literally the name of the specialization. And I got very lucky to get into that program, which was very fundamental for me to start understanding in depth how business models, especially through social entrepreneurship business models could be used as a very, very powerful tool to create social and environmental value. And so really, really studying and working on this combination of said very, very, very clearly profits and impact, right? I actually don't really like the term of social entrepreneurship myself because social has so many meanings. I realized this when I started working at TechnoIndia Group, when I moved to Kolkata, TechnoIndia Group being one of the biggest educational groups here in the Eastern part of the country and in India. I knew even before moving that I wanted to work in the educational space for the kind of impact that it has exactly, the kind of contribution that you can bring in terms of shaping up the future generation's mind. And so when I joined TechnoIndia, I really took on this responsibility to include sustainability and impact entrepreneurship into the student's curriculum. Just going back to that term of social entrepreneurship, I realized by having a lot of conversations with the students, especially at TechnoIndia, that social entrepreneurship could be, in a way, very ambiguous. When I was asking students what it meant, some of them would tell me, oh, either they would be confused between social entrepreneurship and charity, or they would say is related to social media. I mean, social is so vast as a term that I think maybe impact entrepreneurship is more adequate in order to accurately define what we are meaning here. That is basically building a business that are sustainable financially, socially, and environmentally, and that put this input, this impact beyond the maximization of their profits. And I've always been very fascinated by the world of impact entrepreneurship because it's such a powerful tool to not only build businesses that are a bit more meaningful, but also to redefine systems, to redefine a whole definition of what we call businesses, which somehow has kind of slipped away ethically from our hands, I think, you know. It's funny to realize that in French and even in English for that matter, a company can also be called une société, a society, isn't it, right? And so, I mean, it has to be at the core of what a company does to put society first, in a way, to put their role into bringing value to society, even beyond the fact that they're gonna have a big number at the end of their balance sheet. And so, I think over time, maybe we've lost a little bit of this aspect of businesses. And I think impact entrepreneurship is this very powerful tool to get back to the essential sense of what building another organization should mean. Building an organization is not about the balance sheet, only, of course, you need that as a tool to a greater end, right? You need your financial sustainability to grow and to be able to sustain in the long run, but that in no way should be your end goal. It should be about bringing employment. It should be about bringing value through your products and your services by starting with a problem that you've observed and trying to solve it through a business model, through an inclusive business model. And that, I think, not only should it be remain or should it be created within that bubble of impact entrepreneurship, but of course it should apply to each and every business, no matter their size, no matter where they're geographically located. And so that's why I started really for even myself, even beyond my association with TechnoIndia Group, starting to really try and set up also a core example of impact entrepreneurship through one of my other ventures called YIST, which is a partner of this event today and of Misfits overall. And YIST is this professional aggregating platform, especially focused on East and North East India for all of the organizations that are working towards the 17 SDGs. And it's a whole journey, you know? I'm not even done myself, of course, nobody is, but it's a whole journey to find this one sweet spot between financial, social, and environmental responsibility. And I think today there are no dearth of very successful models around the world that have been able to prove that businesses and business models can be inclusive and thrive financially, socially, and environmentally. And I think this is the way towards a better future. And so, especially in the East and North East India, and this is the very reason why we called our venture YIST is because we need this narrative of, yes, it is possible, and there is hope, and there are wonderful people, just like all of you on this call today, there are wonderful people who are doing what needs to be done, even in a region of India that is supposedly a bit more lagging behind and underdeveloped and not easy to access or whatever. Of course, there is reality beyond behind it, but the response is definitely not to fly away and to run away from this region, to find some better place that is already more developed, the way to go, I think, and the way to transform this narrative into a more positive and hopeful narrative is to stay here and stuck with this, yes, hard ecosystem, but so full of potential. And I think this event today and the series of events that you're doing throughout Southeast Asia overall is just proving that point of, you know, no matter where we are in the world, there's always something that needs to be done better. So that's a bit of an introduction percentage. I hope it was fine. Yes, this was very much wonderful. Thank you for sharing the insights. I can't help but agree that there is a need to scale up, impact based entrepreneurs in the entire development system. What would you think, what would you suggest could be done to scale up more such social entrepreneurs? Because it's very easy for proper enterprises to get funding. If you're running a social enterprise, it's very difficult for you to actually get funding or maybe even support from the mainstream investors, so to speak. How would somebody tackle that? I think one important point here is one advice that I would give is if you really want to scale, you shouldn't describe yourself as a social business. I mean, being it doesn't matter, right? In any case, as I was telling you earlier, there should not even be the distinction between non-impact businesses and impact businesses, each and every businesses to my understanding and I'm sure all of your understanding should have impact at the core of what they're doing. And so I think this is also another reason why I'm trying to spread impact entrepreneurship more than social entrepreneurship, to slightly move away from this narrative that can be a bit self-destructive of a business that wants to do business, that will use business to actually scale products and services, but because they're calling themselves social entrepreneurs, which of course at heart is absolutely great and I call also myself that sometimes. They kind of self-destruct their potential maybe to scale, find funds, et cetera, because they're not treating maybe themselves as an actual business. And as from an investor's point of view, especially from a customer's point of view as well, I think impact entrepreneurs need to work exactly in the same effective way as traditional business. Again, I'm reinforcing my point on the fact that this distinction ideally should not even be there. So maybe one advice is as you build along your business, don't do it first, don't do it to call yourself an entrepreneur or a social entrepreneur or an impact entrepreneur, don't do it for the problem that you've identified at the beginning and for the solution to scale, and then your approach should be as efficient, as performance driven, as fact-based, as any kind of business who traditionally have been understood as being more able to scale. And I think social enterprises or impact enterprises, and there are many great examples in the world from Tom's shoes to the Grameen Bank, and I can cite many more, have actually used hardcore business to scale, especially because that narrative, I think, is important to let go of this perception or this confusion with the charity models both within the business as well as for external stakeholders. I hope that makes sense, Prasantji. Well, it does. So I can't believe that it is very important for people to understand that if you do not have a sustainable business, you cannot even help others, right? I think that's the whole premise of what you've been saying for the past couple of minutes. We have also been seeing, so I was lucky enough to be a part of a cohort of the Tara Trust for a fellowship where we were working on the Indian mission in 2017-2018. Do you believe that more such fellowships could be launched by either social entrepreneurs like you to help mobilize and motivate the young generation of India to actually come forward, take part in the, I would say, different facets of life which are often neglected? That's a great question. And this is something that I've, that I'm trying my best to contribute to through my work, especially at the crossroads of what we call education for sustainable development in my work with TechnoIndia and Y-East. Two things that struck a chord in the question that you just asked. The first one is the power of youth. And the second one is all of the options that students and young professionals can actually embrace in order to contribute to a more socially and environmentally, socially and environmentally sustainable world. I will just share with you an article that I wrote, give me one second, just fetching the link. An article that I wrote a few months ago, which basically takes forward the framework of the 17 SDGs, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals adds two complementary framework to it and can be used as a tool for individuals to understand where they can professionally place themselves on the chessboard of sustainability. One message that I really have to this youth, as you said, is really to understand that no matter if you become an entrepreneur, no matter if you choose a bigger company, no matter if you work for a foundation, no matter if you're sitting at the HR department or at the strategy department, no matter which sector of activity you start or you decide to get your career into, there is a way for you to have a huge impact where you are. And depending on the level of responsibility and the resources that you have at hand as an individual, I was very frustrated by the 17 SDGs in a way that it's these big goals of no poverty and zero hunger and good health and well-being. I wanted to say, DUN, thank you very much for this tool, but how are we supposed to do that? And so I tried to complete that framework with something that was a bit more individualized and actionable so that each and every one of us can understand that even if we're not using the tool of creating a new impact business, there are so many other ways and so many necessary ways for everyone to take action no matter where they are, as leading the innovation in a big, big, big MNC or leading a foundation again or working in fashion as well as in finance, as in luxury, as in agriculture. There's so many things that needs to be done on this big scope of sustainability, that is one. And second, to finish my point here is, the youth point is so important. I'm also part of another organization which I co-founded, which is called the YFS India Alliance, the Youth for Sustainability India Alliance, YFSIndiaAlliance.com. Where, if you realize that more than 40% of the world's population is under 25, it gives you the amount of power that the youth have. And it's not, it's a mistake to push away youth in the corners of the unexperienced because it's a voice, a voice of the youth and it's a voice of the youth. It's an experience because it's a voice, a voice of the future that cannot be overlooked anymore. And I was hearing about this very interesting methodology and movements the other day coming from Japan called the Future Design, where basically, it's similar to a methodology such as design thinking, but what happens is to innovate for the future, they basically create two teams. One representing the present generation and another group representing a generation that lives in that same locality in 2000, the hundred, for example, and representing this youth voice, representing the future, representing voices of the generations that even don't exist yet is a very powerful tool to start training our brain to thinking long-term, which is still something that we struggle with and that is a demand from sustainable thinking and sustainable businesses. Great, can't agree more. So thank you for sharing the LinkedIn article, I was just going through it. I can't believe but sustainable, what you've proposed, that the sustainable development framework linked to the sustainable development enablers, which ultimately helps us achieve the SDGs, I think this would be something which has to be ingrained in all the various businesses operating in India and even in other parts of the world. We have a question from our participants. Rahul asks, social and social mobility impact has a global potential. How do young innovators develop a global mindset for this? Okay, so a couple of things. First, I think if you focus on the 17 SDGs in one way or another, on sustainability in one way or another, you cannot do your research and understand the theory at only a local scale because these challenges are very much in nature global. Air pollution doesn't stop at the borders of a country or a city. Poverty levels are shared in each and every country of this planet at different levels. Just a couple of examples to make you understand that all of the challenges that we need to tackle as impact businesses are in nature very global. Now, I would like to kind of reformulate your question or tackle your question by saying that once you're aware of the global nature of these challenges, it is very important for you not to let yourself be overwhelmed by the globality and the complexity of it and start with the problems that you can observe in your locality and in your country. There's this, of course, I'm sure you all know of this kind of motto of thinking globally and acting locally. I do believe that is true because, you know, it's really easy to get a bit, for this narrative to get a bit gloomy and a bit overwhelming. And then you're like, okay, I really care about all of these issues but I don't know where to start. It's too big, it's too complex. And one of my messages, especially as you said, presented through this framework of the SDGs, SDFs and SDEs is to say, you will not be able to tackle everything. That is impossible for you to do. And you should not because the more scattered you are on trying to do everything, the more likely you are to be inefficient in that one or two fights that you should be choosing or then one or two battles or one or two causes that you have at heart. So it's very important to understand that each and every one of us has a specific story, a unique experience and unique sensitivity, a unique set of skills and interests and that we're not asking or nobody asks you to be someone else. What you're asked to do is to take one that can relate to you as an individual, it can relate to you and where you are geographically as well in this world. Of course, the virtual world has broken all of the borders and frontiers and there are beautiful models that can be very successful at scale, but nevertheless, each and every successful journey starts small and start from somewhere and this somewhere is around you. And so I think I've learned that in the process of entrepreneurship, one needed to be patient because there are levels of consciousness and understanding of your own willingness and your own desires and your own way that you want to do things that only comes after a certain point. So yes, think scale, but I would say do not let yourself be first overwhelmed by the globality and complexity of issues and second, don't be also stressed about going in Nepal and France while you're sitting in Bangalore and nothing is working locally. It starts in concentric circles of success and this is a normal process for it to take some time to develop itself. If that makes sense. Well, it does. So let me address the room. We would love to hear any questions which you would want to ask, Waleen. These questions could be in the realm of entrepreneurship about not these problems or anything in general which you would want to ask. Hello, ma'am. I'm an auditor. Hi, Anup. Yes, you are. So my question is that like in social entrepreneurship or impact entrepreneurship, as we can say. So here, as we are walking towards a goal, so it can be profitable, it cannot be profitable in long run. So initially, when we're building a team, so that time I have also faced some issues like some of the team members said like, it may not be profitable in long run, then we may waste time in this. So can you suggest me or advise me ways how I can convince my team member what should be my proper team management plan? Like many times they also get demotivated that we are not getting that level of success in, yeah. So if you can advise me something, then. It's a key question, Anup, and thank you for sharing this one. I actually believe that I am very, very far away from being a money-driven person. I don't, it's never been, it's privileged for me to say this. It's never been an issue for me and I never let it be a top career choice criteria and a top business criteria also as I built my ventures. Having said so, of course this narrative of being impact focused and being profit focused is core to understand. As we were discussing just before, a business cannot thrive in the long run. If it neglects either of these three, financial sustainability, social sustainability, environmental sustainability, right? That's the three P's, the people, planet, profits, people, planet, profits. And then these three P's have evolved into also five P's, people, planet, prosperity, partnership. Anyway, let's focus on these three. I am very much focused on impact and I've realized that I needed some people in my team that were very unlike me to be complimentary. It is very important for you to have someone in your team that takes you back to the balance sheet. I'm not saying everyone and I'm not saying they should be completely insensitive to the impact that the structure is aiming to create that is fully important for everyone to be like-minded. But it really helped me having a partner next to me as a co-founder of Y-East, for example, that was a bit more business focused in the profit sense of business than I was because we were complimentary and because he was and he has been more of a guardian of the financial sustainability, why I have been focusing on social and environmental sustainability. And it's okay to be different. It's actually desirable for you to build your team in a complimentary manner. So I would say, and I hope I answered your question, but I would say do not shut this dialogue about how important profits are because they are, but at the same time, just make sure that you are all on the same page, that the final end of what you all do together is the impact, having said so without the money, without the profits, which is a means to an end, which is a mean to the greater end that you are defending, you can't go anywhere. So I would say have this, try to nurture this dialogue inside your venture by not shutting profits, that again, is very important, but by kind of trying to understand how you can combine the two, while again having the same, being all on the same page and focused on eventual impact as an end goal. Thank you, Shrid. Thank you, Pauline. So we have a last question from Rahul. Rahul asks, what inspired you to take up this subject? So I think there are too, there are as many journeys as there are individuals, but I would say there are two main categories of how you can become aware of something, either by a very marking event in your life, right? That kind of led you to care about something or to be repulsed by something and therefore you're gonna take that battle because you went through a hardship yourself, or there was no like before, after event and progressively you've realized what makes sense to you. And I think I'm part of the second category of people who kind of spontaneously inside, do not, I just don't understand. I just can't comprehend how an individual would want to have a career that is not impactful and meaningful. To me, it's just not understandable, right? So when I started my higher education, it was by then already very clear for me that my career again, it was not for the money, it was not for the social prestige, it was for how useful I can be in this society and in this world that is facing a lot of issues. And it really became really, really much stronger as the time was going on. And as I realized, you know that I think on average, we are all called to work on an average of 80,000 hours throughout our career, which is a huge amount of our time, even if you take it at the scale of a day or at the scale of a week, we dedicate so much of our short precious life to our career. And to me, it's beyond my understanding to choose a career that is not meaningful. And you know, sustainability and impact entrepreneurship, this kind of topics really kind of provided me the tools to talk about careers with a meaning, careers with a purpose, careers with an impact which has remained and will remain my core topic and my core message that I want to convey to anyone that I cross paths with. And there's this actually just to, as a closing word, there's actually this concept that I'm really fond of as well, which most of you probably know, it's called ikigai, and it's this Japanese term, you know, that designates this energy that you have in the morning. And you know, if you don't do something that passionates you and that makes you feel useful, I don't think you'll have that same energy waking up every day of your life, which will feel long if you don't. And so, you know, ikigai can be broken down into four different variables that I think are very powerful tools to kind of pick and choose your career along the way, which are what you do, what you love or what you enjoy doing at least, do what you are good at, obviously you need the skills to enjoy it, do what you can be paid for back to the financial sustainability that we've been talking about earlier and do what the world needs. If your innovation or your work is completely disconnected from what the world needs and completely disconnects from the problems that need to be solved, I usually take then, you know, from this show, Shark Tank that all of you know, the amount of bullshit and the amount of businesses that are created for nothing and out of nothing has always amazed me, right? Like, what did I see? Wine for cats. I mean, we can use business and business models for much more powerful solutions to actual problems to kind of alleviate pain and the pain that we somehow as a society have put on the shoulders of nature as well as fellow brothers and sisters of our own human species. So yeah, I hope that answers your question. It just happens to be one of my core beliefs and I've kind of made it my life mission to please consider choosing a career that makes sense and that is a useful one for something beyond than yourself. Great. Thank you, Pauline, once again for sharing your cheerful beliefs and your wonderful insights. Due to the concerns of time, we will have to stop here but we'll have to end with you offline. Anupam, we can begin now. Appreciate it. Thank you so much, Pauline. And Resanjee for this amazing discussion. Moving ahead, I would like to welcome our regional partners. So we have Assam startup, Global Shippers Community in Pal, Y East, Entrepreneurship Cell, NIF of Tiranchi and AICCV Raman College of Engineering Foundation as our regional partners. I would request everyone, each of our partners to come and speak about their work one by one. Assam startup. Resanjee, can you please change the screen? Can you please? Yeah, hello. Thanks, Arupam. First of all, I'd like to thank Mishri for this wonderful program they're doing from the last few years. So from the Assam startup side, we are collaborating with the Mishri teams from the last day also. Again, DC also, we're doing with them also. So first thing, Assam startup is the initiative of Government of Assam. The policy was started in 2017 and we started working in 2019 January. So it's almost three years old initiative. So if you see the northeastern part of space field, if it Assam, there's lots of small problems raised in the localities. So most of the startup, this region is mostly from the social sector only. So till now, I'll give some figures. Till now, we have run three cohorts and all total 179 startups have been incubated and we have given around four quarters of fund from the government side and another around 12.7 or 12, around 13th year from the private investor side to the startups. And mix of social sector startups and other startup also. And if you can see the screen, this is the four pillars of Assam startup. So one is the digital startup ecosystem. That means you can, this is the absolute digital system. You have to apply for the incubation, apply for funding, everything is online. Then the second pillar is the state-owned incubator. So there's the main incubator situated in the capital of Assam Guwahati. So it's the main hub for the incubation. Then the third pillar is the incentive. E is the financial part. So in this pillar, as I showed, we have already disbursed four CF on the government side. According to the policy, we support the startup up to 50 lakhs of grant amount. So from starting from five lakhs to 50 lakhs, for anybody from who can apply, because they have to register the company here. This is the academic intervention. So in this process, we are collaborating with different academic institutes, maybe universities, maybe engineering colleges, or maybe other technical institutes to spread the entrepreneurship initiative or entrepreneurship mindset in the students, in between the students community. So that's what we're doing. Till now, I think it's around 3.3 CF population in the state. So we just resorted in two and a half years of our time. We have resorted around 15,000-plus students and entrepreneurs. So that's what we're doing as of now. 179 incubation, including grant and all this thing, around 20-year of funding, and resorted to around 15,000-plus students, entrepreneurs in the state. So that's it from my side. If you have any question, anybody, anything, you can resort to me anytime. That's it. Thank you, Anupam. Over to you. Thank you. Yeah. Prasimji, please change this, I guess. So next we have Y-East in Akshi is not here, so let me take that up. So Y-East is a social and environmental impact focus platform aiming at bridging the apps and optimizing synergies between all actors of the sector, corporations, NGOs, social enterprises, impact investors, governmental agencies, students and citizens at large, with a specific focus on East and Northeast India. Y-East works around four main pillars, which are community building, action support, awareness raising, and research. And we just had Pauline from Y-East only. So that's it about Y-East. Moving ahead, yeah. Moving ahead, we have Global Shippers Community Infile Hub. So again, Sue from Infile Hub is not here, so let me again take that up, which is, so talking about Global Shippers Infile, they have been active since September 2015 with the aim to gather the best individuals from various background and work of life from private sector, public sector to nonprofit organizations in and around Infile. And yes, they have been involved in two of their most popular impact activities that are shaping where school children were provided motivational, inspirational sessions and Infile Jamboree, an annual event where youths are engaged in redefining self-employment and sustainability. So yeah, this is it about youths in Infile. Moving ahead, yeah. We have C.V. Raman College, I guess Puthul, are you there? Yeah, yeah, I am there. So yeah, hello everyone, I am Puthul Vishwas from AICC V. Raman Global University, Bhubaneshwar. So thank you so much, Ms. Puth community to be like choosing us to be your partner for this such wonderful initiative ahead. So we in AICC believe in developing the ecosystem to innovate and magnificent network in place for startups to be a part and leverage effective connects for their growth in less time. So our basic incubator focuses are on food tech, agreed tech, clean tech and advanced manufacturing. We are stuck with resources for product development with the existence of more than 25 center of excellence and experienced mentors with good networks. So we believe like we assure our startups to give good mentorship, market access, strategic investment planning and fund raise. So with any such doubts, you can come up to us for any startup journey. We are here to help all the startups in fulfilling all the requirements for their journey throughout. So thank you. Thank you so much, Puthal. Moving ahead, we have entrepreneurship development cell EDC in IFF T-Rachi. Aman, the POC is not here, so I'm taking this. So like it will start the entrepreneurship development cell in IFF T-Rachi was started in order to develop an entrepreneurial ecosystem for people who have innovative ideas in mind and want to take it to the next level. So EDC, they foster their ideas, the startups ideas and help them build it. So, and they are continuously growing to become more helpful for all the innovators and entrepreneurs inside and outside the campus. So yeah, this is about EDC cell. Then we have our jury panel. Yes, and I would request Mandar from Global Shippers Jaipur, sorry, from Global Shippers Nakhur to take it ahead from here. Thanks, Anupam. So I like to invite jury members. First on the list is Mr. Aakeb Hussain. Aakeb Hussain is the co-founder of FreeFlow. FreeFlow is a venture building ecosystem that supports smart and passionate individuals and entrepreneurs to build their startups and ventures. In addition to that, Aakeb also has a seven plus years of business and software development experience. He's also a creative head at INV. He has ran a team of around 50 professionals, leading them to annual turnovers of around 0.5 million US dollars. And he has impacted a total of 1,34,700 learners in the Indian subcontinent. We are glad to have you, Aakeb. Please share some words of wisdom with our participants. Thanks, Wanda. Thanks for the rather robust introduction. Good evening, everyone. Thank you, Team Misfits. Thank you, Rukh, for inviting me in such a session. It's always a pleasure to hear Pauline speaking. So that was a nice session to be part of. As Wanda said, I am running this entity called FreeFlow with the Government of India, the Invest India team, as a venture building outfit. We presently have a cohort of about 237 startups, which are distributed across three to four different sections. We are stage agnostic, industry agnostic, as well as rural agnostic. So if there is a complementary weakness in the team, is what we plug and then we plug it for the investment requirements also. So a lot has been said about sustainability. I'm here to learn from the Misfits of 2021 on what they're impacting on sustainability. And with a few announcements from the last year, as promised to honor the team of Rukh, we would love to support you with regard to financing of your projects, of your startups, and take it to the next level. Because there's nothing called PE investments without impact and there's no impact without PE. We bring the two of them together for Misfits. Thank you. So thank you, Aakir. So our next jury member is Mr. Rahul Singh. Rahul is a deal flow manager at Microsoft for startups. He's a management professional with experience in ICT research and public policy. He has worked in KPMG advisory services to drive entrepreneurship and startup ecosystem. He has also served as a chapter director of for startup Grange Edward. Glad to have you, Rahul. Please share any words of wisdom with our partners. Thank you, Manda. Good evening. And it's always a privilege to be a part of this platform. Thanks, Anupam. Thanks, Abhijeet. And the team at Rukh and the Misfits have been associated with the team since last year. And I'm always amazed to see the kind of startups that they are able to scout and bring on this platform. I personally have been enthralled by the last cohort. I am hoping the same continues in this year as well. And as part of my profession, I work for Microsoft for startups. It's a program that supports technology startups across various sectors. We are very happy to be a part of the Misfits team and we want to support some startups who are relevant for our program to be a part of it as well. I personally have no experience of being a founder or an entrepreneur, but it's just a sheer passion to help people and facilitate them and let them know that there's somebody to help them on the way is what I have chosen as a path to be a part of this ecosystem and look forward to helping anyone and everyone in this network. So yes, I'm so happy. I'm privileged as I said again and I'm proud to be a part of this platform. Look forward to having a great interaction going ahead. Thank you. Thank you so much, Rahul. As we move ahead, I'd like to clear few things. I want to tell you what will be the ground rules for the pitching round. Each participant will be getting around four minutes, sharp four minutes. I'll be giving you like a heads up once the 30 seconds are left and you have to come quickly wrap your presentation in those 30 seconds and the timer will stop there. After that, after you've done your pitching, we give the chance to jury to ask you some questions. So it will be followed by a Q&A round. So Anubhav, can we quickly start the pitching round? Yes. So the first startup I would like to invite present is Prakati Tech that is being represented by Arijit Mazumdar and Ankita Paul. I'll give you a heads up when I start the timer. Hello. Arijit, you're not clearly audible. You can share your screen if you're asking about sharing the screen. Arijit, Ankita. Hello, am I audible now? Yes, yes, you're audible. Hello. Yeah, Ankita will be joining within a minute. She'll be presenting just a quick analogy. She has the power to be joining just a second. Meanwhile, I hope jury members are able to edit this scorecard. So I've shared these sequences of these startups in the chat section also. Sanat, are you here? Team Farmingai. Yes, ma'am. Am I audible? Hello. Yes, yes. Yes, you're audible. Can you take it ahead? Yes, ma'am. Yeah, cool. I'll just give you a heads up when I start the timer. You can share your screen. My screen is available, ma'am? Yeah, it is. Okay, good to go. Yeah. Three, two, one, start. Hi, myself, Sanat Samanta. Sir, yes, myself, Sanat Samanta. And my team name is Farmingai. Actually, Farmingai working with rural farmer and small and marginal farmer. So we are trying to solve some problem of rural farmer, small and marginal farmer. So we are actually the puzzle solver and we are actually the total ultimate farm solver. So our solution is indentite duckfish integrated farming system. We are working with a problem of small and marginal farmer. So because of low farm income and high production cost on agricultural producers and some food insecurity issue in their family. So, but some extensive solution is there, but this solution is a traditional non-data-dependent scientific process, lack of guidance and lack of awareness and locally dependent. So our solution is the indentite rice duckfish integrated system with an abdice monitoring system. First of all, this is the symbiotic informality system because of the duck and fish. The collaboration of the duck fish and paddy cultivation in one field. So duck and fish eat the all wheat, plankton and mycelium and so the cost of the, cost of the, all cost of it reduces for the herbicide and pesticide. And the duck eater and the fish eater is a fertilizer for the good for the paddy. So this is actually reduced production cost through integrated approach. And the end of, end producers are free from healthy, some healthy, free from some chemical, chemical, health or chemical. And it's maintained by some app, a simple app. And our key features is the supply to quality inputs, all type of seeds, bio fertilizer, organic fertilizer and other farm insulinsias and consultancy support training assistant from handling support and data monitoring by app and banking English for support for the loan and for doing this arrangement to farmer and marketing in the marketing portion, marketing support for import action sale and appropriate logic solution for the sale and the branding and marketing for value addition support. And our current data, we are in the advanced development stage and the field data collected and the marketing steps adopted. And currently we are connecting with various vendor for the sale and product and connecting with the farmer who want to take this arrangement. And our future expectation in the next five word technology system is one year and working with the 2,500 farmer, Indian farmer in last five year. And we want to connect with the Bangladesh and Myanmar farmer, this is our future expectation. This is a market segment is the best acceptable, scared is the India, India is the best. And then is the other Southeast Asian countries also they are in Japan and China. The Indian, in India, the Eastern part and Northern, the Eastern part is good for this arrangement. And our region, the rain field, deep water field is required for this arrangement. So in India, 2.8 million is the field is there and in Southeast Asia, 90 million hectares field is there. And in total Southeast 100 million people are involved in this arrangement. And small and marginal farmer group is involved and involved. And our revenue model is consultancy and technical fees, revenue from the environmental services and ABUJ charges, margin install, facility inputs and margin of end product and valuation product. And our competitive land safety, we are coming up. Just one minute. And the last slide is social impact. We are project is the no-hanger, no poverty, no-hanger in decent work and live below water and live land and industry innovation and training for the farmer for education. Thank you, sir. Thank you, thank you so much, Sanat. Over to you, Akif. Please ask if you have any questions. Rahul, if you have any, I'll punch in after you. Thanks, Akif. Sanat, could you give me a sense of your team? What kind of people you have, what experience do they have? Yeah, just... Yeah, my team member is myself Samasamanta. I am a microbialist and I'm an other team member, Boguldoy and Gautam Roy is there and Kuntol Linda is there. So, me and Boguldoy is actually biological field and Kuntol Linda is a technical field for IT department and Gautam Roy is more than 30 years of experience in the various food company and any other biological company. Sanat, could you put your presentation on a slide mode or slide show mode because the team members are not visible? Yeah. Just click there. My team members are visible, sir? Yeah, thank you. Yeah, please, Rahul. And Sanat, thanks for that. I think a lot of good people on your side. What about your business model? I have understood what you're trying to address and how are you going to do it? But what is going to be your... Yeah, I think if you could give me a one minute deep dive into your revenue model, yeah, how are you going to do it? Actually, the consultancy charges and consultancy fees and technical fees for the farmer and supply for the various facilities means organic fertilizer, others, bio-fertilizer, seed quality seed from margin and the others margin from our environmental research or the abductor charges and what the main target is the end product selling and value reduction from the collecting of end product from the farmer. Okay, so you also do consultancy and you are also going to do sales? Yeah, yeah. We are involved in the hand-holding support to your farmer from providing personal inputs to end sale product. So how are you going to take the consultancy fees from farmers because you yourself are saying that they are marginal farmers, their income is disproportionate. So are they... I mean, will they be able to pay you the consultation fee? At consultancy and sir, we are involved with consultancy and technical fees. Suppose they are involved when a farmer when you use some product, they are involved in various others company. So other company actually do not provide the proper guidance. So here we are provide the proper guidance and which product is needed and which problem is some problem is in the field. So we are provide total guidance of these. So we are considered some little bit consultancy charge. I understand that, but how are you going to convince the farmer to pay you is my question. Yeah, because we are... when we are margin is only one farmer in the end of the end side, end of the under the production, not that fast we are... Okay, so farmer, we are talking to some farmer, but yes, they can say they will provide the consultancy charge and technical fees. If I have understood it correctly, you're going to charge them once they are able to pay you, not in the initial stages when you start talking to them. Sorry, sir, can I leave it this way? So what you just explained, it gives the impression that you're going to charge farmers after a cycle is complete and not in the initial stage when you start interacting with them. Is that what you... Is that what you're going to plan? Yes, yes. But again, my question still remains the same, the conviction of a marginal farmer to pay you. Sir, I have an idea. To answer this question, you need to be a little patient. You are in a hurry to explain ideas. You are in a hurry to explain your model. Tell me a little bit. How much money are you going to take from a farmer? How much is it that you are wanting to charge? Is it 20 rupees? Is it 200 rupees? Is it 2,000 rupees? Because it depends on how much you can reach a marginal farmer. So that's what Rahul is wanting to ask. How will you convince someone that they will give you their hard earned money? What's their benefit? You will be able to achieve it. But how much money will they give you? Why will they give it to you? They won't give it to anyone else. If you tell me the reason for this, this question will possibly be answered. I am telling you, if they won't give it to anyone else, because the company that is based on our standards, when they go with the problem, they become a company and go to a dealer, they go to a shop, they directly recommend it to them. Okay, understood. You are very effective. How much money did you take from this? Absolutely, how much have you thought? How much money on a monthly, yearly or quarterly basis I will charge the farmer? One cycle, 500 to 100 rupees. One cycle. And what do you mean by one cycle? Six months. Six months. So basically you have never taken more than 1000 rupees? Never. Okay, and in two cycles, you will minimum take 200 rupees per farmer? Yes. Okay. So Rahul, possibly that answers the question that they are keeping it pretty affordable in a certain way. And possibly that would be one of the reasons of people falling for it. Sanat, a simple question. What's most comfortable for you? Bengali, Hindi, or Odeya, what do you say the easiest? What comes? Bengali, right? So the answer to this is Bengali. I will tell Rahul what the answer is. Okay, I will translate it for him. So, no, no, no. Please answer in Bengali because I need the most accurate answer. Okay. When you say you have a team where has the team reached till now? What is the status of the project right now for Flamingo, sorry, got the name wrong, Flamingo, yeah. So, where is the team right now? What are you doing right now to take the project to the 2500 farmers that you want to take it to? So, right now, right now, we have been talking to the farmers and we have been trying to find out that we will be able to go to Kolnani by the time we reach Kolnani. I mean, the fees are, there is a raise cultivation. But here, the duct is not involved in any way. And what we have done in the past is to involve the duct and do the indicated project and then do the solution for the app. So, right now, if we are not able to test it then we had a lot of problems in the last season. Because of the COVID situation, we were unable to test it. So, all of our data, we have been talking to a lot of farmers that we have collected all of our data. Where are you accumulating your data? We have collected our data from the farmers. No, no, no. What are you accumulating? How are you accumulating the data that you are talking about? I mean, the data you have generated so far, how and where are you accumulating it? Is it manual accumulation? Or are you putting it on a system? Are you putting it on a particular Excel and stuff like that? No, no. We are doing it manually now. We have kept it manually when we have collected the manual data. We have been working in the app development and app development. And we will be able to do the project successfully in one year. We will be able to do it successfully. I understand. And how many farmers are there in Kuala Lumpur? How many of them are you talking to right now? I have been talking to about 50 farmers. There are a few farmers who have been working in the industry and have been working in the rice field. But we have been working with the rice cultivation in the deep water and heavy water. We have been working in the Kuala Lumpur and we have been working in the rice field for the last 10 years. We have been working in the rice field for the last 100 years. Right. Can you take me to the team slide again? The people on your team? Yeah. So, Raul, I basically asked them what have they essentially encapsulated till now? So, they have actually gone to a very high on irrigation district in Bengal which is called Kalyani and which is where they have kind of added upon the idea of ideally introducing duck or fish into an already integrated farming practice that the farmers are having and the numbers are around 50-55. So, they are playing around with the ecosystem right now. Okay. And Sanath, just one last question here. How many of these people are full-time with you on this project? Me and Bukulin involved. Gautam Roy is a full-time, but Kuntul Dinda is a part-time. Okay. Okay. Okay. Thank you, Sanath. Thank you for your time. Thank you, Sanath. All the best. All the best. Thank you, Sanath. Thank you, Jury. So, next we have Ankita who will be representing Prakati Tech. Ankita, you can share your screen. Yes. Am I audible? Yeah, you are. Please share your screen. Sure, sir. I hope it's visible, right? Yeah, it's visible. So, good evening. One second. I'll just give you a heads up. Okay. And start. Okay. So, good evening, everyone. Myself, Ankita, co-founder of Prakati Tech. So, moving to the group of you, what we have in your slide, just give me one second. Yeah, it is. I'm starting again. Yes, yes. Go on. Start. Okay, so, good evening, everyone. Myself, Ankita, Paul, I'm the co-founder of Prakati Tech. So, the main overview behind our project is the business to change the older system of treating and sanitization into a smart and efficient way and also reducing the cost of the operation for the hospital. Maybe we are focusing on healthcare sector. So, this is our overview of our project. So, the problem statement that we're having, the five important problems we are focusing, the first problem is due to pandemic. There is a force to increase the frequency of sanitization. In every healthcare sector, if you see the budget is increased and that is one big problem for the healthcare sector. The second problem is despite of increasing the frequency of the sanitization, hospitals are still getting the cases of infection and we have the proper evidence for that because we visited a lot of hospitals and we just limited a lot of, we just do a lot of secondary research and both were a lot of journals. So, there is a 12 to 16 percent rise in the, you know, frequency in the infection rate. So, that is the second problem. And the third problem is the lack of evidence and the guidelines and the regulation. ICMR and the government is, you know, frequently changes their guidelines and regulation every time someone is telling that sanitization per, you know, tunnel is good to the good and after a few days, after few months, they're just changing that statement. So, there is a lack of evidence and guidelines changing problem. And the fourth problem is lack of preferences in the staffs that lead to increase the chance of infection because they are just not aware what to do because the COVID scenario is very recently arise so they don't have a clear idea how to deal with it. And the fifth, the most important problem is there is a problem of non-versatile items and the medical equipment sanitization. Otherwise, they are using wet sanitization to clean the medical equipment, medicine and everything. But there is some non-versatile item because, you know, some DP machines, some electronics, IBM mobile phone, laptops, you have to sanitize them daily in hospital premises. So, that is the one problem. There is no such solution available to clean that. So, our solution is accounting all this problem. Our startup, the strategic proposed to IoT based smart reward, maybe for the healthcare sector for sanitization, cleaning and helping. And it can sanitize the hospital corridors, OT rooms, hospital wards and all. And also, there is a feature through which it can form a U-Humber where we can sanitize the medical equipment and any essential non-versatile item and everything. And also, there is a mop and touching the robot through which it can clean the surface of the hospital premises. And it is, you know, it is a manually operated bot and it is really helping robot in an operation theater and at the same purpose. And all this can be controlled by an application. And it is a complete package for the hospital for making the operation more easy and efficient. So, moving toward the feature, there is an image of a prototype model looking for the feature of a robot is IoT based fully automated mode and ABS medicine reminder is there. And for safety purpose, there is a human detection mechanism through which whenever someone is there in the range of the UV light, it will shut down automatically. And the next thing is also- 50 seconds left. Yes, yes. There is an operation mode of the cleaning robot and this all thing come in the range of one laptop piece. So, moving to the market and the first thing we are just incubated at IIT Madras right now. So, there is a campaign going on to find the market. So, the first, we are just focusing on the healthcare sector, but it's a huge market. So, for that, we just going for the serve market which is our world, first go-to market which is private COVID centers and the renewed, you know, renowned clinics like Tata Billa- Time up, Ankita. Time's up. Can you just give me a few seconds? We'll be quickly move on to the question and answer. Yes, sure. So, the targeted market as you can see from here- Ankita, we'll move on to question and answers. I think it's four minutes. Sure, sir, sure. Over to jury members. Ankita, just for the sake of the fact that you wanted to complete, just take us through the slides. Don't talk about it, just take us through it. If you have a question, we'll stop you there and we'll ask you a question with that also, with respect to that also. So, just take us through that. Just click through. The competitive space is understood. So, if you could take us to the next set of slides. Okay, move ahead, move ahead. Move ahead. All of this traction that you're talking about are people who have given you the requirement, right? They have not been given a prototype by you yet. Basically, they- So, sir, they have given the feedback on the product and some of us tell us their problems in their facilities. The idea of the product or the actual prototype? Actual prototype, sir. Actual prototype. So, you have put it in a ruby general hospital or a KPC or a medica and then you have got these responses? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Okay, okay. And also, we have done a research blindly. Arigit, you're not audible? Yeah, we have just focused on their problem also. What are the facing, what are the pain points of the customer? What are the facing, what are the problems they are currently now facing and how they are managing these things? We have all those, grab all those data and we'll implement our pilot model. Can you take us back to the product itself? Yeah, just complete the slides if there's anything specific then. This is the financial model we have. This is the funding requirement. We are just incubated at IIT Palakkad. So, we have six percent utility there. So, this is one thing and other thing me and Arigit is the co-founder. So, that is the co-founder treatment we have. This is the achievement we have so far. And that's from my side. Can you take us back to the product? If there's none of the other slides? Can I show you the prototype video? Ideally. Yeah, absolutely. You should have actually showed that. So, it's for everybody else who is actually going to pitch. Please don't focus on the problem a lot. Unfortunately, we know a few problems which are happening. So, just skim through your problem quickly. Get to the product faster. Because Arigit and Ankita have a great product at hand apparently but they haven't been able to explain it because of the lack of time. And that was because they spent a lot of time explaining the problem. So, make it a point that you don't spend unnecessary due time on just explaining the product. So, sorry, the problem. Just come to your solution, come to your product. Yeah, Ankita, are you playing that? Yes, sir. Yeah, please. Ankita and Arjit, why you play the video? Can you just let me know if you have filed any patent for the product or your IP? Yes, sir. The process is going on. We are just filing the patent through the help of IIT Palapati. All right. Please go ahead. Play the video. If I may ask, Ankita, what would be the patent beyond? What are you essentially filing for? The whole device or a particular process? Mainly, we will patent mainly the technology and all those features that we will implement and all those coding, scrapes, all we will patent. So, this is IOT enabled prototype is what I understood. So, we have a mobile application. So, it is a very basic stage prototype. You can state it as a MBT stage. We'll, I mean, all the feedback that we have already got, we'll go on through it and we'll improvise on that in our pilot model. And we'll be developing a pilot model to start within November. I see a pad which has been used to control. Can you explain how are you doing it? So, with the... The video has an app which is... Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, we are just... Can you explain the process? Yeah, yeah. We have made a very initial state app through which we can control that robot and everything that we like and the cleaning mechanism. All can be controlled through the mobile phone through this app. And it is based on IOT. Anywhere, any point of the world, you can control this robot at any point of the world. You can control this robot within a place. So, you don't have to... There is no kind of ranging issues will be there. Would this lead electricity to sort of move around? Yeah, first of all in this MBT stage, we have just mainly implemented the wet version but in the pilot model, we will go for the battery one. Because in the initial stage, we don't have some amount to spend in that prototype. So, that's why we don't have to do that. Because battery related things are mainly... Many things are acquired on that because we have to design that thing properly. We have done this prototype by our homeopit. So, it's not possible to... What cost it took you to build this right now? So, it is cost of around 55K for this prototype model. Okay. And what is your assumption of the cost of the final device? Have you thought about it? Yes, sir. I just showed you... Yes, sir. Around one... Less than one lakh. We will be reducing... The first 10 to 20 models we will be planned to... develop these products by one lakh 20,000. But when it will be commercially done this thing, we will be reducing the price around one lakh. Okay. Okay, if you have any questions. Rajit, what... Sorry if I can ask you this because it might be part of your patent. What is the protocol on which your communication works on the IoT bit of it? Are you using a mesh protocol or basic ZigBee or what is it that the bot works on? Mainly you can say it will be on mesh. But on... I'll... I have to explain more but mainly you can... overall you can set the mesh. Mesh, right? Because many things have to be controlled. Right. And what are your backgrounds? Rajit and Ankita, what are you doing right now? I am from electrical... Both of us from electrical engineering and also we have some members in our team from IoT Palakkad. They are from advanced robotics. Okay. And when that pilot development will be done there will be also the robotics department and also they are from IoT Palakkad. So they will be helping us in this development of the pilot model. Are you... are you pursuing your engineering right now or are you done with the... No, no, we have completed. We both have completed. Okay. And we will be moving to IoT Palakkad to development of this project. Okay. So you are at IoT Palakkad right now? No, no, we will be moving... It's from November. November. Okay. Sounds like a good product, boss. Keep developing it. In fact, don't stop at it. What's the kind of fund requirement that you are looking at for the pilot and how much are you getting as a grant from IoT? We have grant around 20 lakhs from IoT. 40 percent. And also we have got several grants from IIT also. Okay. And also from... And also the IoT will help us in the development of... if any grants will be needed they will be also helping out on that also. So that's all. And through the help of their facilities and all we will be getting help of the development. So as of now you don't need any external capital. You have it available from the grants from the university and college itself right? No, but they are mainly... One thing we just needed they are just helping on the development part only. Only on the development. Not any inter-sees or anything. They will not pay that but anything that will require for the development they will help on that. So have you done a projection on anything else that you might be requiring? Yeah, obviously. Because there will be some income and also we are not getting any job or something. So we have to... That is a main point of every entrepreneur that obviously... So we have to manage our financiers also. So that is the thing we are just lacking. That fund we haven't got yet but still we are looking for that. But the development fund, yes. We have from the IoT. How soon is the product going... Sorry, I'm cutting you short. How soon do you think that your product is going to be ready? Around 8 to 10 months. Yeah. And with what cycles of deployment do you have various prototypes coming between now and the 8 to 10 months? Yeah, obviously. Yeah. So we have planned around... After pilot we have to be... Then alpha model will be there. Then beta model takes to also be there. Then we will go for the ultimate model. And do we have designed references of the same available already or is the design process left? Yeah, we are on the process of that and also we are here. IIT's professor Dr. Santha Kumar is also helping us on the designing and those things also. And we are also going for the batch specification that will be because we are also working on that. So soon we will do that on the pilot. So how much would it take to actually launch it in 8 months? Given that you have development to support from IoT Palakkad. Yeah. I haven't got that sir. How many? How much money would it require you to sustain yourself for the next 8 months? Build a reasonable team. Have a small amount of pre-marketing done because obviously you will have to send it to 5 places to actually get live data on the platform. When you say IoT, it has a lot to do with data. The more the data, the better the performance, the better the performance, the better the acceptance. So how much amount of money are you allocating for that or are you financially projecting at and what are you looking at? What's the sum that you're looking at right now? Around 55 to 60 lakhs will be required to go to market before launching. Then we have our 10 models will be ready to sell in the market. Only 10 models will be prepared. Only for I just assumption for our 10 models. If I launch any 10 models, then it will be cost around 55 to 60 lakhs. Your deck talked about the 20. Sorry to interrupt. The deck is only on first year. We will take it offline. Pretty interested. Rahul, your last views and then we could wrap it up. Mandar is going to kill us if we take more time. Just one small question. The device that you have built, the parts that you have sourced, are they locally available or you have imported them? Just one last question. We don't have to think about the parts and all IIT will arrange everything for ourselves. So we don't have to think about finding the parts. They will have told us that they will arrange anything required and they will need any PCB components or anything that will be required they will be supplied by their internal service to IIT. So we don't have to think about that. Alright, thank you. Thank you, Araji. Ankita, all the best. Thanks a lot. Thanks, Ariji. Thanks, Ankita. Thank you, Dury members. Next is Sridhpta Ghosh, who will be representing his startup, Fuddle. Over to you, Sridhpta. Yeah, thanks. Yeah. Please share your screen. I will give you an answer. Is my screen visible? Yeah. I will give you an answer when I start the timer. Yeah. And you can start. Yeah. So this startup is called Fuddle. What we are looking at actually, I will be going very brief about the problem. We all use handicapped items. Everyone in our houses, we have handicapped items. So we are kind of looking to organize this kind of market because the demand for handicaps is going up day by day in the Indian market, also in the foreign market. But the artisans and the creators, they are like hardly paid because they don't have the knowledge about the market. So that is the problem we are looking to solve there. Okay. So how this Fuddle thing works, basically we connect directly this creators or this individual artisans to the customers and all of the marketing part and the rest of the delivery and everything product, Fuddle takes care of that through app-based and web-based services. So as I mentioned earlier also, the demand is high, but still the artisans are underpaid, but there is a good amount of market available for this. So we are looking at this kind of a solution and that will also be a sustainable one as well because many of the handicapped items, they are sustainable alternatives to what we use such as plastics or something else. Okay. So what about products and services right now? Right now we have a website. The app is under construction and in the near future, we are planning to launch a social e-commerce because as handicapped items, you can customize it. So if we can engage the customers like I want to customize my jewelry like this or I want to customize this saree like this. So that will be kind of our engagement platform as well. So we will call that Fuddle Connect and in the near future, we are looking to set up small stores in culturally rich places like maybe Jaipur or Maharashtra, which are renowned for this handicapped items. We will be setting up small physical stores over there. Like this is a very far-away idea from now. Okay. So what will be the positive impact on the society? This is our emotional USP as well. We will be empowering the skilled, empowering the women more than 7 million people are engaged in this handicapped industry of which most of them are women. So we will be empowering the women as well and encouraging more people to start a home-based business. Many of the people we see like they can do good paintings, they can make pottery, but they are like they don't know where the market is. Where would I sell this? So we will be encouraging this kind of people as well. Okay. So as I told you earlier also, why this is the right time? Because as per the reports, there are 7 million artisans and more than most of them are women. So there's a huge market for this thing and also as in this century, we are going forward, more people will be engaging home-based businesses as well. So more than 50 million small and medium-based home-based handmade businesses will be also figuring out. Okay. So how big is the market? As far as we didn't get exact data on this because actually this market is quite scattered, but we took up some export data on this. So for the 2018-19, the export data is standard at like 3.8 billion and as far as this industry is concerned, it's more than a billion. It's a billion dollar industry and yet it is unorganized. Like if it is organized, it can go beyond maybe 10 billion or something like that. Again, this is just a number. Okay. So how big is our market? So we have 7, in India, we have 7 million plus artisans, 60 million plus small businesses apart from that 10,000 small businesses and the total available market is like 2 billion around and we are targeting around 5% of the market share. So it will be around 100 million. Okay. So our business model is pretty simple. Whenever a product is sold, we charge a small commission. That's it. That's as simple as that. Nothing else. There is no hidden fees. All the marketing costs we take up. The product listing is free. Everything is free. Okay. So our compilters... Time up. Yeah. Over to our jury members. For the Q&A. So Dipto, can you just take us through the slides? Also talk about your team quickly. How many people and what background do they have? Okay. Sure. Actually, right now, we have a big team actually because some are full-time and some are part-time. I didn't actually note all their names down. So right now, three people are doing full-time. One of them is looking after the products. One of them is in the tech side and one of them is all the customer relations and everything operations I'm looking at. Rest, there are like some few people who are doing part-time who like outsold the products for us. There are content writers. They're mostly interns though. And there are some people like who are guiding through all the supply chain management thing and everything. So we are currently nearly five, six people team. We're a big team. So Dipto, as part of your venture idea, why would somebody choose Fuddle to sell their creativity? What is it that people will come to you and not go to any other established e-commerce marketplace? Yeah. Sure. Actually, the thing is basically, we are not targeting the educated market actually. If you look at the educated segment, then definitely they will go to Amazon or Flipkart. That's for sure. Because even if I outsource some handicraft product, because most of the people that sell on Amazon or Flipkart, they outsource the products. They don't actually make the products. So we are trying to cut this middleman down and directly connect to this kind of people like the artichans. And in fact, we are doing that right now in Jaipur. We have a few sellers over there. We directly connect to them and whenever we get an order, we just go there, take the product from them, pay them out immediately and take up the product. Like this, how we work. So we are completely... Philip, be careful. I'm in Jaipur. I can go and check out. Yeah. Sure. Actually, there's a friend. Our friend is there. His name is Toshagra Sharma. We are using his house as a temporary warehouse kind of thing. Because in this handicraft industry, it's quite scattered as I mentioned. So it's difficult for us to maintain a proper supply chain actually. So that is why we are... So that's why I asked you. See, supply chain is a big problem. Pandemic has showed us how bigger it can get. So that's why I'm asking, why would somebody choose Fuddle and not any other established platform? You have just started off. So what have you thought about? How are you going to bring people on your platform? Right now, as I mentioned, we will introduce an engagement kind of thing. A lot of customization are available. You can customize your product because it is handmade. It is not factory made. You're not putting a machine on. Something goes out and something comes out like this. So you can totally customize the product whenever you... Suppose you want a jewelry with a red ball in it. So you just select the one and you tell them, I want a customization like this. So this is how we are looking to capture the market. Okay. And what stage of tech development are you on? I believe you've been doing a lot. Our website is ready. Like our website, like the preliminary website, we are already in the market. In fact, we have generated a few amount of revenue. And the app is under development currently. Thank you. And the app is for customers or for suppliers. Yeah, there will be a separate login. Like a customer can also choose the go to sell section and he can sell the product. But it will be a common app. If you want to sell, you can sell. If you want to buy, you can buy. It will go like this. Shriptu, can you take me to the business model page quickly? Yeah, sure. Just keep me at the products page itself. The products will do. This one or? The previous one. The products page. The FODL Connect 10. Okay, okay. This one, right? FODL is an app on web. FODL sellers, FODL Connect, FODL store. Okay. I've heard of Rare Planet. Heard of? Rare Planet. Shriptu. Not really. Yeah. So read about them. They are going ahead and launch. So they were a cohort startup. We got them the initial funds and all of that stuff to a certain degree. And they have something very similar on artisans and craftsmen and an indigenous artist from the country coming ahead, creating a connected ecosystem and essentially selling on offline and online platforms built by Rare Planet. I am not suggesting that there is in space for more because the market is very staggered as you very rightly put in, but get your fundamentals very correct when you want to do P1, P2 and P3. And what do I mean by P1? When do we want to do the store? When do you want to create the community engagement programs? And when do you want to create the seller alignments? Those are going to be key to your eventual success and scale. Just one thing. I might sound repetitive on it. How many members did you say are there in the team right now? Right now we have seven members. Who are full-time on the product? Not all three are full-time and rest are part-time. Are you full-time? Yeah, I am full-time. And what's your background? I am doing my engineering from IIT BSU right now. I'm in third year of my graduation. All right. And the other two full-time members? Another one, he's also at IIT BSU with mine and the tech founder, he's from IST Shippur. IST Shippur, okay. And any direct connects with the craftsman's ecosystem in the extended team? Are you creating on-ground support ecosystems? Sorry, I didn't get you. Are you creating on-ground support ecosystems for the craftsman that you want to come on your platform? Or is it just scout and get? Yeah, actually we kind of support key. Suppose we have demand for candles in this Diwali time. So we ask them to make candles, these are the things for our candles or something like that. Okay. So this is how we... We are actually constantly connected to each other. We help them out with the markets and analytics like this. As per their knowledge and approach, obviously, it's not on a very high standard level. And some one-two people, they're on home-based businesses. So they can really understand. And the rest of the people, they're like, we have to go into their terms and their tip and make them understand that. Okay. Okay. I'm done, Shudipto. Thank you and all the best. Yeah. Yeah, thanks. Thank you. Thank you, Shudipto. And thank you to the members. So next we have Les Eider Wellness LLP represented by Vinita Mohler. Vinita. Last year, I lost my uncle to COVID. I went to visit my aunt and she was totally overwhelmed with her financial obligations. She had booked her tickets to UK without realizing that her passport renewal was overdue. She just had two months validity. Also, her car registration was overdue. So seeing these kind of problems, we did a research and we realized that women for some reason, even if they are educated, they are earning members, they are entrepreneurs themselves, they leave the financial obligation size to the male members of the family. So we thought that the solution would be to create a simple mobile app which would be an organizer come reminder app, which would send them where you key in the financial obligation, just the dates at the maturity days, the renewal dates and a reminder is sent. At least they would be aware and they would be able to take care of the finances if a death or something happens in the family. So we have already built our product called Fin Prompt. It is available on iOS and Android with a lot of downloads already. We are focusing on women especially, but there are many other people also who are using it. So here you enter the task, we have about 58, 10 categories, main and 58 subcategories. So you key in the data, you just give the date and time of your maturity. If you want to give more details, there is an option to put in the photographs to write in the remark section or if you don't want to do that, you just want voice note, you can even do a voice note and you are good to go. And the reminders are sent now in way of notifications. We are upgrading it to an e-commerce platform wherein we are inviting the banks to bring in the mutual funds, the insurance, et cetera, to make it a one-stop solution where women who are downloading our app can also use the other facilities and they do not have to go to 10 different insurance policy or insurance bazaar or 10 different sites. They can do it there itself. So our competitors are micro-saving apps and new banking platforms for women, but they do not have the reminder facility because they do not have the utility payments, ours is a complete one-stop solution for anyone. So our market size is about, there are 16.1 crore women who are fan card holders in India, but it's a totally untapped market. If we get even 5% of this, we have a huge revenue going for ourselves. So our marketing plan is, though our cost of acquisition per person is about 260 rupees, we are making most of it free by making a pan-India movement of take charge of your finances for women, being a very active member of Fiki Ladies Organization and All Ladies League in Kolkata. I'm able to do so and we have got a couple of members joining already. They have downloaded the app. So these are the ticket sizes, how we make money and the expected share of sales. We have seen that if you take a very conservative figure that only 3% of the people who download our app are actually buying products from our app. Then also we make a bit of about 6.36 lakhs at the end of third quarter. And our timeline is we found a company in December 2020 and our funding is mostly we have bootstrapped, we have spent around 5 lakhs. This is our team. I'm from finance background. I was with Pricewaterhouse and I launched this. Kirti has always worked for multinational. She has taken off now and is a full-time co-founder with me and Tanvi is an HR specialist. It's our product is for the women, by the women, of the women and we need all the help and support from you. Thank you so much. Thank you, Venitaji. What did you remember? First of all, congratulations for completing on time. I think it's a very thoughtful venture because everybody has understood the need for such a thing. I'm not so convinced about the reminder thing because I think a lot of apps do send out notifications and also you may want to rethink on pitching that as a USB. Definitely a product that can target to educate women on finance and help them restructure it. That is definitely a USB you should be talking about. I understand it's something which a lot of people keep saying but there's less of awareness still and a lot of gap to be covered. So these are some observations. A question is on the mobile app. I see your team, nobody is from the tech background so have you outsourced it? Can you give me some thought on how are you building the app and how many downloads have you achieved until now? We have outsourced a very well-known company in Kolkata called Coral Software. They have made this beta version for us and we are trying to find someone who would come on board as you said that makes more sense. The only thing is because we are an oil women team we are trying to find women who can come on board and I think we will be able to achieve that. Number two, we have had 100 downloads by now. We are hand holding them. We have volunteers and my daughter is an HR specialist. She can be more. She has hired two women right now and downloading the app is not the only thing we have to hand hold them, make them enter even to us for the passport majority they run to their husband or someone else. So we are kind of bringing them in. Plus we are taking their like one woman came and told us that include annual maintenance and we said why do you want that? So they really need the reminder service because the Google reminder and all that that doesn't work it's like 10 different things. So they really need it and they're saying that I want the maintenance they only ping us when they want the money at the end of the year they never ping us when the service is due. So I want to know when the service is due. So they are coming back with the feedbacks we are incorporating them as in when so we are taking our time and very soon we will be going in the next step where we will do a security audit and we will go in for the e-commerce thing and because the lack of time was there we do have a workshop option in the thing which we will be starting after Diwali. We have someone on board we have taken from Mumbai who has been doing it in Mumbai she has been holding workshops to create an awareness and she has been the wealth management with a multinational wealth manager with a multinational bank. So she will be teaching the women how to invest where to invest how to start off with that and then we by that time our e-commerce platform will be ready so we will be good to go. All right, just two more questions and then over to Akeb one is how are you going to earn out of this what is going to be your business model. Second question is more about the data that you are capturing you know because it's quite sensitive because you have images where people can click and save it on the app how are you going to manage the data that's coming into it so data sensitivity and storage more from the point of view of how are you going to ensure privacy is maintained and the other is on the business model. So right now we are not even asking them for their birthday it's just that you give your name the pin code not even the pin code actually just the name right and the OTP is generated and OTP goes to you so we are not asking all these are optional what we are asking is for your maturity date and you just key in passport there is a drop down menu and you key in the maturity date so no one can hack that there is no option of hacking if just the name also you can just give your initials it doesn't matter so right now only after we do a security audit will we go in for the second stage so having said that there is again right now we are not taking any information the government RBI has come out with account aggregator so we are already finding out from one bank private bank that how if they are taking that we just have to show the dashboard so we don't have to take their KYC or anything individually so that is again a very good thing where you know the security is maintained because we are not taking their information they are just using the bank's dashboard to use it coming for the revenue so this is the ticket sizes the mutual fund commission is 40,000 and we earn 75% the insurance premium is about anyone would take about 3,000 minimum insurance and the premium is 20% so these are the ticket sizes and this is the expected share of sales so projecting this so we have taken that like I have already said that we take only 3% also we get an a bit of 6.36 lakhs and also the scalability is there already the NRIs are approaching us who are sitting in Sydney or who are sitting in Texas and managing but remotely managing the parents finances from there as well as their finances their investments in India so they said that why don't you expand your services to us so we are going to do that and we have a ready market only that we have to incorporate it plus the workshop we are already starting from after Diwali will be launching it and then we with the e-commerce thing so if it's a one stop again one more thing what I've noticed with CRED once they have built a community in CRED now people are loaning to each other so once we build this community of women and they are already doing it in WhatsApp I keep getting messages selling all kind of Diwali gifts and things like that so once the community is going to be please keep it a bit quick yeah so sorry I went to CRED then so that's a third stage so we have a lot of dreams that we will make it big and that's how yeah Vinraj, first of all congratulations on being able to bootstrap it till now do you own the stack right now or is it a ownership between you and Coral so Coral has said that they have so I'll have to pay something to Apple and all that so once we have some technical person on board I think we will take it from them and do right so by now you understand it much better than me that the product needs a lot of ground up work right now it essentially is scratching on the surface with regards to what it can possibly achieve just one question on that where do you see it being positioned in this huge stream of services and products that are coming via this concept of women first and women based I've just shared a link with you something called Her Money Talks it was one of our one of our portfolio startups and we recently got them a seed fund and the idea of sharing it with you is do you see synergies with these kind of models or are you taking it independent with regards I want to do the bottom up of my whole user journey or are there other plugins that you are looking at somewhere down the line this is very interesting because though I'm talking about women pitching that it's an all women app my doctor has downloaded it my neighbors have downloaded it so there are many men and senior citizens especially those who are downloading it and young people also because everyone needs these kind of reminders so they can go to a policy bazaar and buy this stuff etc but the reminder app they really need something like this and once they find that this is a one stop solution I'm sure most of them so though I'm not teaching you for an all women but it's useful for all and just one question on that ma'am are we banking a lot of hopes on a gimmick the reminder is a gimmick for most of these platforms so when you say policy bazaar or when you say any of the fentec apps that we are referring to these people can build that reminder feature in a matter of 2-3 days so the idea is I hope we have a longer funnel of services and we are not limiting ourselves as Rahul very rightly pointed out at the onset don't limit it to the USP of reminders because that in today's day and age is half a days of code and two days of testing and then that I speak from a computer science background so I can vouch for it it won't take a lot of time for any of these apps to build it so great product ma'am but looking for more from the platform pretty soon thank you and all the best thank you sir thank you Vinita ji thank you next we have one oath represented by Suraj Suraj yes it's visible please go ahead hi everyone my sub Suraj Biswas founder and CEO of one oath so one oath we taken an oath to impart the education one oath is a fully AI based tech platform we are targeted to provide quality education to all over the nations every segment of the nations and we are also addressing the development goal number 4 so our vision is to provide free educations to the students those are not actually going to the schools so by 2030 we will provide the education to all of them and we are targeting 100% literacy by 2040 we are targeting deaddiction from the mobile and digital devices by using of AI and vocational entrepreneurship training we also provide to the students so our problem is mobile and digital device addiction lack of quality teachers in rural and urban areas we can provide a particular subject there is no guidance and no mentor for the students and lack of objective-based learning and lack of good quality coaching institute they are only situated in the tier once it is so rural areas there is no quality education so our solution is we are transforming traditional off-night classroom to the fully AI based offering classrooms and subject wise topic wise teachers will provide and all the content will be divided by the virtually animated and we will also by AI we will analyze the pattern of the student we will identify the learning gap of the student and deaddiction from the mobile and digital device by using of AI and also the standard counseling so our product is like our product will give animated video content, personalized learning, board chat, mentoring students both and consequences by and providing the solution analyze the pattern of the student and deaddiction from the mobile and digital devices so ours I can so we don't have any real computer but we have some offline and online computer so offline computers are big coaching institutes like some and also the local coaching institute and online competition like the company that and why we are different we are fully AI based platform most probably as per our survey and mobile deaddiction daily monitoring students goes by AI subject wise topic wise teachers AI based smart or digital classroom and complete solution in a single platform so our USP is low very low tuition please more ability compete and complete solution in a single platform deaddiction from the mobile and digital devices and analyze the pattern of the student and identify the learning gap and daily monitoring every student both and consequences objective based learning so our operation model so this is the market side our revenue model actually revenue model we can charge monthly or yearly so for offering to a 40,000 per unit and for online 24,000 515 but after 100% scholarship those are needy those can pay that more so so have some little traction we have done 80,000 plus survey among the 100 plus local government and private schools and we got some data from the students we have done 50 plus additional survey we have done 200 admission with admission fees of 1000 rupees and we have done 500 admission without admission fees we got 1000 plus post feedback our offline MVP is ready but our online MVP is not ready yet so our social impacts economically weaker segment can access the quality education because we have the 6 and 8 company also that's we actually build a gap by the donation and students will learn the objective based learning deaddiction from the mobile and digital devices would have it building by our mentor and our psychologists and vocational entrepreneurship will help them to achieve the success in any field free and low cost program will help the poor children to give the children education will provide the education to all non-school students by 2030 will achieve 100% literacy by 2040 will get the more entrepreneur and social worker and literacy will help to minimize the time that was in India so we had actually targeted to launch our offline online platform by 2022 and thank you so much for presenting over to jury members please go ahead I wanted to see the team once and see just one thought are you not contradicting your own business venture idea while saying that you will have elements of helping students understand how they can stay away from devices the deaddiction story that you have said at the same time you are also providing an effective form so are you not contradicting yourself yes yes that's it because no because actually after the deletion and new normal situation so all the things are sitting to the online but that's why the skin time is also increasing that's why students are misusing some applications and they are actually addicted to the mobile world so our application is our AI will work like that they will actually minimize the uses of the application they will understand the uses of the application how much they are using and what they should to be using they actually control the time there is many application in our phone also there is a digital web link we can actually manually can control this but it's not possible for a student to manually control the things that are set the timer for the apps so our AI will work like this the students don't have to do anything AI will understand and just fix the time for the application so if that is the case why not just focus on helping students understand the addiction issues and why are you building edtech platform also edtech platform because for the cost because in the TR2-TTC they are not actually can get access to the quality because they have to pay separately to provide the complex version of single platform we have done 80,000 plus survey so they are also like to take the intuition from the offline so we are also developing the offline platform in the digital agent means there will be an interactive panel in the audio visual classroom so students because and this is very low cost we have the 68 company one of the foundation those are not willing to pay that they are actually charging 3000 per month as per our survey how much they are actually spending on their fusions so those are not able to pay that much amount our foundation will give them the scholarship for that Suraj where are we with the progress of the model what have we achieved till now other than Suraj am I audible where are we with regards one with right now where are we with respect to right now we have the offline we have the offline MVP but we are also providing 600 student education by Google Meet platform what do we mean by offline MVP offline MVP means our offline content our teachers also they will teach and online platform is fully AI based platform is need fund wait on wait on wait on it's a center that you have right now if I've got it right yeah yeah yeah it's a huge center that you are running right now and it will come on an educational platform a tech platform which has still not been developed yeah so how do you know that it is going to be 100% AI because our team we are actually developing the AI based application and we are the first time in the market that's totally AI based learning some engineers like they actually finding the learning of the student Suraj do you understand when you say we are the first time doing etc of AI do you understand what AI you are building into the system what's the stack that you are building what's the algorithm that you are building do you have a sense of that or is it going to be done I know something that is going to be done and our CTO is a 27 years of experience in IoT and AI and our CEO is from so our co-founder is MCA so I am the genetic student so I am not a technical background but I did some course on the AI but basically I am not developing things but I am the mentoring and part of the teaching do you have the algorithmic pipeline ready already or is it something that is going to be developed over a period of time yeah over the period of time thank you all the best thank you Suraj yes yes thank you so much next we have gold relations app represented by Jezair Mr. Jezair Hussain Jezair are you there you are on mute you are speaking okay moving on to the next participant we have a smart papa represented by Joy Deep hello yes am I affordable okay I will share my screen sure requesting all the participants to first please listen to the questions of Jui and then answer and keep your answers precise and to the point Joy Deep are you ready okay shall I start yes yes please go at all the best okay thank you good evening everyone my name is Joy Deep I am the founder of smart papa a social commerce startup it means to help social media influencers to build their merchandise so what problem start merchandise in India there is no single platform there is no standard platform merchandise sector is so unorganized in India a few visual websites are there for provider services but they are very they charge very high and this third issue is the technicality to start a merchandise brand you need to deal with the manufacturer for your product then you need to find a web developer to design your website then you manage it to manage everything on your behalf to manage your orders to manage returns to file GST and all so these are technical issues that mostly people are facing so these are the real problem I have shared this screenshot of the India's top youtubers who have faced these kind of problems to start merchandise so how big the market so let's ask ourselves you know don't spend much of our time on social media we have our favorite youtuber favorite influencer whom we follow whom we admire sometimes we end up buying products and doors by them so that kind of influence they have in our life so the model that we are into that is called social commerce as per the report it is 2 billion dollar market and will be 20 billion in the next 5 years which is growing so rapidly and the the influencer merchandise that we are targeting is going to be very new trend in the coming years what is the solution that providing stop solution say if you are an influencer please come to a platform register yourself and the application yours will be in just 2 hours so simple and the second great thing is full branding option unlike other available website we don't do picture we allow you to build your own brand we sell under your brand it's like private leveling and third and this is our usp the ease of use we have made the platform so much easy that even for 14 year old youtuber it can also operate this is our usp and trust me in India the merchandise has never been so easy before other business model so we are basically a product company we are in the dbtc model we provide products at a base price upon which the seller can add his or her profit margin so the combination of both the price is the price for the end customer first time first time or untested idea there are players but smart papa is a you know most refined form after screen that seeing all the possible problem is about this whole companies and it is a customized as per the Indian influencers now the team I this I share some my holidays some start up we are showcased as start up explore by IIT rule key part of our group by hundred so and we selected for chart of fellowship so that's what me and the amazing start up yeah thank you and I am open to questions thank you Joydeep over to jury members Joydeep first that name smart papa I think it's a little misleading because you are merchandise store and the first impression if somebody reads it it gives doesn't gives that feeling so just my own observation the other is yeah so actually the name has a loyalty factor that was I use it because it's a you know unusual combination of two very common words you know that's the reason the whole for me smart personal assistant for production accessories so personal to social media influencers for all their merchandise and products yeah I saw that I understand but I mean as I say this is my own opinion so you don't need to take that as something which can impact you what is the social impact angle or I mean the platform is misfit so how do you fit into this I just want to have your perspective so basically we are helping social media influencers like small YouTubers or any artists or who are you know who have a good amount of followers you know in social media Instagram or Facebook so we allow them to build their brand they could be able to share their designs share their art share their dialogue or their logos they would be able to build their own brand basically okay my last again this is an observation so I just opened up your website it is it doesn't have a security feature because I think you yeah you take care of it that's all from my side I'll keep over to you yeah just get an SSL certificate that's not a bug the platform would work fine it lacks an SSL certificate right now just one question for you yeah sure just one question when you say people can contribute their own ideas how are they secured on their designs is it an open marketplace or is it something that you need to essentially subscribe to actually buy from how does that work because let's say I am your social media influencer in the making obviously I would like to believe you just don't need people who already are influencers but people who you can convert into influencers via their art via their designs via their ideas how do they actually secure their designs and their ideas on the platform because if it's open then it's for everybody else so how does that happen on my smart papa okay so what other platforms are doing like Spring and Redbubble they are allowing everyone to sell their merchandise and all but we are targeting only noone all the record and all so if they share any design and all we take care that no other website is using their design and all so there is no any model we have developed but we have promised to check however it's possible so it's manual right now correct and when you say you have been in business for a while now and your platform shows a lot of satisfied customers and clients what has been the top line like how much money have you been actually I was in the business professional in 2019 but so during that time I used to supply products to the corporates like CISF, O&GC or school and colleges and all just in the last year 2020 we launched the beta version we tested the beta version with few of the youtubers from Assam so after we saw few potential we somehow convinced the youtuber to build his website and share his store in his youtube channel in just 3 days we set 38 orders in just 3 days so we found that yes this item has the potential so after that we hired these customers are not from SmartPaper it's from your previous activities actually it was SmartPaper only but it was in offline mode it was in offline printing mode wherein people could get their printed t-shirts and accessories and merchandise done thank you Jodi thank you Jodi thank you Jodi next we have Gold Relations Represented by Jazeera Nusain hello can you hear me yes please go ahead Mr. Nusain are you presenting your screen is the screen visible no not yet is the screen visible yes should I start now yes please go ahead thank you as the name is there it's actually a social network type of app it's an app it connects families and creates a network of relatives we have a lot of social networks these days but the social networks which we are familiar with which we are already using they are lacking certain things which which are very conspicuous I'll list some of them just some of them first is the members of the social network are not reachable physically if ever you want them if ever you want any help from them then you cannot reach them physically almost major of them the second thing is there is no common thing which binds the whole network characteristically that means there is no one uniform thing in the whole network the third thing is one cannot ask for personal help personal help we cannot ask the members because people are from any part of the world and we are not knowing most of them the fourth thing is members can leave the network at an instant whenever they want they can leave the network whereas suppose we are making a family network in the family network the relatives can be reached physically any type one can pick up the call one can pick up the phone and call them second thing there are many common interests and concerns especially related to customs and traditions which binds which is a characteristic of the social network which will build by the relatives means by connecting the families third thing is one can ask for any type of help we eat personal, we eat whatever type without any inhibition one can ask for the help to any person in the network of course means after choosing the person because that itself will be a very big network the fourth thing is relatives will not leave the network the relatives will not leave the network even though there may be differences between the relatives when they are talking to each other on subjects different different subjects there may be differences but the relatives will not leave the network they will still be there sooner or later the differences will get sorted out and again the things will become normal next thing assuming that if there were such a network there what will happen suppose that there are interrelated families are there big big interrelated clients are there they will link online and they will form a big big network means one clan having so many generations up to seven generations our app supports within one within seven generations all the ladies of the of the clan will be connecting to their own parental families and it will create just one clan will create a lot of a big network just one clan if it is having a lot of generations secondly what will happen is with this network whenever a new family connects immediately instantly they will find hundreds of relatives already there they will be delighted to see all these relatives which were earlier not in touch with them third thing is the app as soon as the family is connect app will create relations between each member of the whole network it will say which member is how a particular member acts related to a particular member why means the relationship which we maintain in India I am not talking about the relationship which means in the English speaking countries they do not have that type of relationships means in India we have long chain of relationship sorry to interrupt you Mr. and the time is up thank you so much over to jury members I don't know what to say but doing another social media network around family is something which I can't relate to why would I want to do all this using technology just my observation it is actually why can't I do all of this on Facebook yeah we cannot do this thing on Facebook the reason is that in Facebook you will not find all the relatives there okay all the relatives means and why would they join why would they join Gold Relations they will join Gold Relations the reason is that after joining Gold Relations they will find intimate things of the family in there like there will be an album which will be having a common album for all the relatives of the clan in which they can share their sweet memories like for example photos of the old relatives who have expired sorry but I get the emotional reason for designing such a platform I get the possible references that you would possibly take but how does it actually make sense in a world where we want to open boundaries have heterogeneous people come in our networks kind of increase our social reach via social media why do we want to essentially then pack it back in create technology platform ask the whole family to be part of it which as it has gone down it does not complete a mode there isn't a very solid emotional referential figurative mode for this I can understand the spikes which happened during an event for the family and everybody wants to get together but I still believe they still want to get together physically so how would a platform add any value there is there a use case that you have thought is there something that you have thought around it because you yourself are calling it in a perfect world and we know that perfect world does not exist so how would gold relations essentially be valid during this time as a case in point we see every person is having in whatsapp group their own family groups which is good enough right yeah now it is not enough actually that is the reason why this thing I thought about the reason is that in those family groups there are limited number of people there are limited number of people the admin will send the invitation to those people only whom he is in contact with plus means two are limited people only they can we can have 256 people in a whatsapp group until now if the beta version that they have just launched works fine we will have more than 1000 people allowed in a particular group if my clan is a society by itself even then it is not going to have 1000 people who you are going to very who you are going to engage with on a day to day basis so if whatsapp isn't looking at it why is joseph looking at it is a question that I want you to live with for our time because I think there is something I think there is a use case somewhere but you have not hit on it yet I think there is something that you have hit on but I don't think the way you are putting it across is how old relations is going to be a lot of us want to know the kins of kins of kins in an extended plan I am pretty sure about that people still connect like that but what is your specific use case of reason is something that you have not been able to make clear can I just show you one screen quickly I have seen your deck so I think you will show me the 343 people see this is the screen this is the this is one of the screen of the app in which it is showing a persons mira agar this persons relatives this person is standing and this type of thing whatsapp will not do whatsapp will just connect the people to talk this type of thing the social recognition which this app will give to the people the social recognition means successful people with whom a person is related to that one person can exhibit that I am related to so and so and so which is always the case everyone wants to show that thing everyone wants to show that thing this thing is the usp of this thing which whatsapp will not do which any other people will not do unless they start on this line only got it juzer got a sense as I said a lot of people might be interested in a use case of your overall plan I need to know my extended plan I need to know if there is influence in my plan if there are people who are very well connected who I might not know who I might just want to know etc I understand the reason for that why would I actually go ahead and be on a new platform altogether for it its something that I am still struggling to fathom but all the best to you I hope the platform makes a lot of waves it creates a lot of familial connections we are in need of that as a society I hope you can put the use case better next time around when we touch base so all the best with the product Rahul if you have anything or else you could move on no I have no questions from whom you can take it over thank you thank you so much Mr. Hussain next we have Charminashi food processing center presented by Prabha Devi hello yes are you sharing a screen yes my name is Laicham Prabha Devi from Impal West Manipur I am from last 10 years from Charminashi food I am running an egg food industry now will you share your screen finish tech do it so I started this industry in Manipur people who are educated they don't get work after graduation they get migration they don't give much value to their employment in such an economy there was a problem there was a fight so I wanted to give people inspiration when I worked when I was 2 years old I started this a girl she was 6 years old she started my unit I wanted to show people there was a pain in their mind when you start your career you get more money you get less income you get less income government they think better so I started this to give inspiration to give inspiration to give inspiration to give inspiration to give inspiration to give inspiration I started from 5-ING there is now a million so this is for people who are poor who don't get work they get training with them we give a lot of money and the school is training for them we receive from the IDP and will help us, we will guide them. After that, I have worked with a lot of people and some people started their own business with my training and started working with some inspiration. I have helped with the employment problems since last 10 years. Now, in the market of Manipur, the skills that I have, first of all, I have a lot of skills in Manipur. My skills used to be a type of skill. So, I have created a new system in Manipur. I have created new things for some customers and I have created a new style in my recipe, in the process of doing something different to make people happy. I have shown people this way, especially the fake ones. Because we can do our own work no matter how useful it is, no matter what the woman is, even if we are a girl, we can do this by taking care of both of them. So, why can't you do it? So, now in Manipur, my skills, especially, make products of Besson and Besson, my products, you know, Haldiram or Bikaji, are my products. In that, some fruit items, such as wild fruit, are also my products. So, in Manipur, my brand is very popular. So, all of my skills have been created in Manipur. All of this is because by taking inspiration from us, by looking at us, it was like this before, it was like this. So, what I wanted to do, what I wanted to show, we could see. So, there was a new beginning in Abhiju. It was a break rice. There is a lot of medical value in it. People used to cook, or cook, and eat. From that, we want to make Roshbhula. Sorry to interrupt you. Yes, it's your time up. Over to jury members. Thank you so much, Prabhadev. Ma'am, your work is quite impactful. As you said, but you are thinking of using some technology. Yes, of course. Yes, tell us a little about it. First of all, it was not worth exporting the salt. In our market, it is used as an income. It was not worth exporting. So, what I am going to make now, these two products, we have to make tea from one medicine leaf. During the corona time, one of the products, this is a medicine leaf, it is known from the name of Manipur. This is an immune-based product. In this, a lot of our medicines can be cured. We can cure diseases. We will make tea from it. Both of them, three or six, three medicine leafs, one is to be made with this product. One is to be made with this product. I don't know the name of the product. I don't know the name of the product. We talked about it. I am a food consultant. I made this product. We will make tea from it. We will make tea regularly. Should make tea regularly but it has all types of health benefits. So, with this I will begin. But, you start in doing research and packaging. We must take good care of our people. This product will be exported as I think. We will make quality products. You need machinery to do machinery and export them dirty. export. here. nutrition. training. training. training. training. know. Uh um. You are doing it as you are doing it, we can do it and we can't do anything else. You have already set an example. Now what Raul was asking you, you will have to see three things. One is that you should do packaging better, non-plastic packaging. Because by doing all those things, people will come towards you. There will be orders from other countries, like you were talking about export. Those people will start accepting the export when your packaging and production will start to be the same. So if you were talking about your consultant, if you focus on your production and packaging so much that your production is not very intensive, the requirements of people will decrease and you will be able to produce more. Because the demand for the indigenous D2C products is very high in the market. You will get it out of Manipur, people will be buying it in India. But a little branding, a little good product cycle and a little hard work on how fast you can generate more amount. Focus on these two or three things that you are looking at on the next two products, which are medical products. If God wants, he will grow a lot. And any support in this, like MSME, government support requirements, you can feel free to connect. You can connect through Misfits team. From MSME to PMGTNL sir. We got that in 2014. So we have reclaimed it. It is over now. Actually there are many policies in food packaging that you can see. New age food packaging and food branding. There are choices and options. Research a little on them. There are many things in this market. There is an indigenous market in Manipur. There are less products coming out of Manipur. But those who will come will acquire a crazy market. So please keep doing it. I don't have a question. I just like to see how much is happening in India. Thank you for taking so much effort and trying to impact the entire community. Thank you very much. And all the best to you. Anupam if you can move forward. Thank you Pravadeviji and moving ahead. We have smart micro garden system represented by Rikasho. Rikasho are you ready? Yes. Can you hear me? Yes. Please go ahead. Yes. Good evening everyone. My name is Rikasho. My partner is also there Abhishek Sarkar. So our project name is smart micro garden system. So the problem statement that we have gathered is that the... First of all, talking about the current situation, there has been a huge increase in the use of chemical fertilizers and the use of pesticides in traditional farming. And also the organic foods are overpriced. Also there are conventional farming limitations like usage of large sources like water. Water is consumed at a very large scale. And also there is like climate change also happening. Natural disasters like in Assam flood always hampers our farmers. There is also fresh food unavailability. Food is transported over large distances due to which there is... That leaves a large carbon footprint. And also the nutritional content also decreases. And the last problem statement is that there is an awareness among millenials and generations that are growing their own food. So we have come up with a solution, the proposed solution. We have categorized in two ways. Like we want to be a state of the art large scale vertical farm first of all. And we are producing fresh organic microgains and delivering it to the locality of Guwahati in Assam. And in the right hand side, we have our smart micro garden system. So today I will pitch about this smart micro garden system. So this system, this smart micro garden system, it's a portable automated cooling, automated irrigation. And also there will be a vertigation system which will be completely organic. So in the hardware level, you can see the irrigation can be NFT, DWC or even flow depending upon the crops. So crops like microgreens can be grown, special herbs and mature vegetables can be grown. In the software level, we will have our monitoring crop health and data and control irrigation, we can control irrigation and we can have like Q&S user specific and alerts also. So the difference between the smart micro planter system and the garden system. Garden system is for like businesses like restaurants, hotels, etc. And the planter system will be for like households, general households. So why microgreens are producing is that like they are very highly nutrient dense. They are like super food, you can say. So our novelty of the solution is that we are integrating all of this control environment, irrigation, vertigation and the control of lights and all, everything with a Raspberry Pi 4 model in the power system also. And also we are doing our patentability assessment in our control environment unit and our irrigation and application unit. And we have like this is our power system. Our value proposition is like the, if people starts growing their own food in-house and with minimum labor effort. So this will give a therapeutic experience to all of us. So that is our value proposition and the food will be also completely organic. So there will be organic nutrient solution kit available separately. And also this is a farm to table concept. Our target segmentation consists of the urban population from upper middle class, to rich class and dining restaurants, hotels, supermarkets and late majority we will try upon pharmacies and hospitals also. This is the competitive landscape. So overall there has been no company relating to this smart garden system, which is completely organic. You cannot say completely organic. So there always has been a real line between organic and organic available. And also there has not been like some of the like IoT and automation. There has been a use of IoT and automation, but it's not in a large scale. Means not in large scale means like not completely like there has been no smart garden system which is controlled, which is under control environment. And our system will give much more yield than the available systems available. And there will be also flexibility of growing variety of crops like microbeans, herbs and mature vegetable. Yeah, sorry to interrupt you Rikasho. The time's up. Thank you so much. Over to Jury members. This very slide makes me a little worried Rikasho. Other than everything that you said was extremely exciting. Your agriculture specialist is to be hired. Yes. Where are we? Where are we with the product right now? Where are we with the? Actually, actually, sir. So this is one. This is the first raw prototype that we developed and developed some in-house monitoring data monitor. Also we developed. Can you can you keep me? Can you keep me on the data monitoring slide for one bit? Yeah. Please, please continue. This is a data monitored for radish microbean. So from day one to day nine. We observed some data and you can see the electrical conductivity and the total dissolved. So after the application of edited compost tea, which is completely organic nutrient solution that we developed in-house. So after the application of this, the electrical conductivity increases. So after day four, you can see the electrical conductivity after day five and day six, the 555. So the electrical. So due to the increasing electrical conductivity, you can see a huge increase in growth rate also. So this is the growth rate length of the range microbean. So from day five, you can see a huge increase in growth rate also. So this result proves that our in-house edited compost tea helps in the production in the yield also. Power problem. That is my. So sorry to casual in due in due concern of the time that we have, what timeline are we looking at in completing this particular product? This sounds exciting. This is not exactly farm to table. This is farm on the table. Yes. So you are essentially generating the farm besides yourself and then bringing the produce onto the table. So where are we focusing? What's the timeline? Where's the product right now? Yes. Actually, sir, we have developed our raw prototypes already, which is completely automated irrigation. But we will be needing around 50 less funding to have be on the marketable on the commercialization part. So it will take around 18 months time. So completely means that for each individual system, since the technical product, since along with the growing that we are also providing the nutrient solution kit or also the cooling environment environment control systems also. So 18 months, minimum 18 months it will take time. Do you plan to file an IP on this? Yes. Yes. Yes. We are doing our patentability assessment right now. And I'm also an EDR fellow under venture center. I have been incubated. Okay. And we apply. We are applying for government grants like big by rap big and something like that. Right. And what's the kind of financial projection that you have with regard requirements on making this happen faster? So for product development part for the development part of we will be needing around like 50 likes funding. Okay. Okay. That's it. All the best. Rekash. Over to Rahul. So a few questions I had. Okay. I've already asked you. Rekash. So amazing. Just wanted to, you know, keep everything aside and understand your inspiration to start this off. So actually we started, we started like during last year, last year December. So there has been like that due to the COVID pandemic. So the like, we have seen like the fresh food unavailability. So this has been a large, this has been major issue, the fresh food unavailability. And why we chose micro grains is that if you eat half kg of radish, mature vegetable, suppose and the radish micrograin, if you take 10 grams of radish micrograin instead of half kg of radish, mature vegetable, you will get much more different nutritional benefits. So that is why we come upon, we come across this micrograin product and we started researching about it and we started producing it and we are already producing and delivering it in Guwahati in restaurants and general households also in subscription plan and restaurant plan. So that's why we have to model in our, in the system like we want to be a large scale farm and also we want to have a smart, means like technical product also available which can means like this smart micrograin system came after the micrograin, after we deliver our micrograin to our customer because our customer asked about, can you make me a setup which will grow through which I can grow my own food, something like that. So from that concept, we come upon this smart micrograin system actually. All right. Amazing, Rikasho. All the best to you and I have no questions. Anupam, over to you. Thank you so much, Rikasho. Next we have Venti Cook, represented by Anu. Yeah. Hello, Jesus. Hope you're doing great. And just give me one second. Yeah. Is my screen visible? Yes. Yeah. So three, two, one, start. Let's start with the punchline. Desi Chulaka, Naya Look, Venti Cook. So around 2.5 billion people all over the world and around 800 million people in India are still using biomass burning stove or mud stove to cook food. Here you can see the mud stove and this is the picture of my grandma and she's also cooking with the same mud stove. So you must be thinking what is the problem in using a mud stove? Like so many people are using 2.5 billion. It's not a small number. So let's talk about the problem. First, you know how much CO2 does mud stove produce annually? It is nearly 175 million tons. Second, do you know how many people die every year by the inhalation of toxic gases produced by the smoke? It is around 1 million, which is more than the death caused by COVID-19 itself. Third, do you think using the blowpipe is comfortable and easy? No, not only it's dangerous but also exhausting. And finally, do you think sitting in the squatting position for longer period is good for your health? Absolutely not. Not only it can cause backache but also distorted posture in the later ages of life. So how we are going to solve all this major issue with one affordable and easy solution, that is venti cook. So venti cook is a pedal operated biomass burning stove. We are using the same fuel which is wood and cow dung cake. But here we have a fan and the fan is connected to a treadmill mechanism. So here the user has to sit in a chair and pedal this system so that the fan will rotate and it will push air inside. So next I'm going to show you my prototype on how we are better than the existing solution. So here you can see a classic example of a mud stove and so much smoke is produced and it's directly going into the user face. Whereas this is our system as you can see I'm comfortably sitting in a chair and this is my leg and I'm pedaling. So if you take a closer look here you can see barely any smoke is produced. Just see the difference from here to here. Barely any smoke is produced. And also the flame is also high and you can see the fuel is also wood and the same fuel that is present in the wood area. So here you can see the clear difference between our stove and mud stove. Next we want to why we think this is a sustainable model. First customer desirability. We have already made the stove and tested in two villages and these are some of the satisfactory feedback we got. The three desirability of the customer that they felt by using our product is first. It hooked faster. Second, it saved time and fuel and third it is far more comfortable than a primitive muscle. Then market vitalties are determined by the policies of the government. So there is one of the great policies by government known as the Oomna Chula Abhyan in which government is providing subsidies to clean biomass burning chula. So for example, my chula cost around 900 to 1000 rupees. So if I get a subsidy of around 600 rupees the cost will fall to around 400 rupees which is extremely affordable for the rural population. And finally, technological feasibility. We are the most affordable and the only four-strapped stove in the entire world that doesn't use electricity. So what is a four-strapped stove? So four-strapped stoves are similar to the venti-cook but instead of using a cradle mechanism or mechanical motion they use electric motor and the electric motor is powered by electricity. But we cannot expect in rural areas people will have electricity 24 hours. Next, moving on to how much progress we have done. I have converted my idea into prototype. I have tested my ideas in two villages already. We are currently redesigning the prototype as per the feedback collected by the villagers making the final MPV. My project is also recognized by UNDP which is the United Nations Development Program. And I have also won multiple innovations and the plan challenge from IIT Roorkee and IIT Calcutt and also one of the most prestigious which is the 3M Young Unitors Challenge Award. So thank you so much. I know the pitch is very small. I know the pitch is very small. But I just want to give you the case for my innovation. So yes, I am open to any questions. Anup, any visibility on your team? Yes, sir. I have made another PDF for that. Yeah. So this is our team. This is myself. Anup Aikare. And I have one of the, you can say member or mentor is from our college Dr. Ranjan Bhubar Pradham. So yes, currently we are the two members, but we will be expanding soon as when we will prepare for the next year. So thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And when we will prepare our M.D.P. and ready for the market also. Yes, Sir. And who has built this prototype? Myself, Myself? Myself? Okay. So if you have just two people, how do you plan to sort of, you know, make it a more scalable business. Yes, so for that reason, like at first is that currently, even though I'm the one member, currently, we have few interns working with they're not completely like you can say full-time members they're just working with me for few months so once my product is ready then I am like going to hire those interns like five interns are currently working under me hire those interns as full-time as I will be able to pay them at least some amount of financial support to them or some amount of financial money to them so currently I don't have a full-fledged team but I have some part-time interns but once my final MVP is ready then I will end up them as the full-time members in order yes okay and you are doing BTEC right now so I'm assuming you will be pursuing Masters and also how do you plan to you know take your venture ahead what's the thought there sir like I'm not I'm not thinking of going for the Masters like there is too much competition in the gate and all so yes I like this is a problem that I have seen that even though we are living in 21st century like when I heard that 2.5 billion people are affected by it I was determined to find at least a solution I may not be the 100% solution but at least I can do something that can if I can at least save 10,000 people or at least 50,000 people that will be something that I will be more proud rather than going to an like for NPEC and then going into a like then more studies and more studies so yes sir understood that and that's the reason I asked because you still don't have a team how are you going to infuse the same passion that you hold to any person who you want to hire you know it's something would you need to think around I don't see it right now necessary to be addressed but you should have that understanding. I think it's a nice thought something very different in terms of I mean I come in with this perception of using technology you know to do innovations but yes there is technology but there is a lot of engineering here so that is something good I don't have any questions so to say I'm quite impressed I'll give over to you I know you're sure right this is the only one sir only one yes sir I'm 100% sure sir for example like I knew that question is going to come somehow so this is known as the clean cooking catalog it is like provided by united nation development program sir all the clean cooking stove that are patented and is present in the market you can find it there there are more than like 500 and I have checked every single one of them before even making the prototype like the moment I came this came up with this idea I was like let's first check if there is anyone already doing it or not once I got the so the world's only what's the phrase that you use for it sir mechanically controlled forced truck store sir for example I'm giving you a picture and I just don't want to break the dream but I just found something just found something which is very close to what you're saying yes it's mechanically controlled forced shaft biomass chulas that are available on amazon yes sir like you can say that yes sir if you can show me I will be more than happy to but similar to my design which is a treadle mechanism as I see like the pedal similar to you have seen in swing machine or tailoring machine there is no such system right now sir okay so I completely agree to what you're saying there's something called Agnica do check that out Agnica Eco mini it's a biomass cooking stove smokeless chulas uh working on actual press and press and release also working on without press and release so it has a mechanical model and a non-mechanical model just keep these see the only reason that I even mentioned this is just keep these things in mind you have a huge market waiting to be tapped there about yes there are about 45 crore Indians who need you all right we sometimes put our blinkers on and think that that that everything is going to be solved by IoT AI and ML for that to reach two people they need to have food in their tummies and and and for for a lot of these sustainable models that have come today what I love most about you people is you're working at the very base of the pyramid you derive inspiration from your grandmother's ordeal and then that's that's that's the most exciting thing about the model so what's the timeline where is Anup taking this product to how long is it going to be currently I'm been incubated by AIC NITF and like yes sir so currently we are working on the like pretending part like applying for the provisional patent AIC NITF is sir now in the institute of technology Bhubanesh right yes sir Bhubanesh yeah Durga and everybody in the team yes sir yes sir you know okay okay okay good so what's what's the financial projection like where are you broadly what kind of money is going to take it to take for you to actually take it to market sir currently regarding the financial projection but yes I can say currently I've also been seed funded by 3M International so and like after also they have calculated the total like they have estimated that how much an average like model like me like previously those that they have also funded few other clean stores so they said it will be costing around 10 lakh rupees only to get into the market after that after that you have to like get revenue by yourself or you can apply from grants and other things so yes sir so it will be costing around 10 lakh rupees so what is Anup's value chain of products this stove being done what does he do next if he does anything else because because he's leaving his masters for it so he needs to create more impact yes sir like sir after this stove also there are like a few other like ideas that I have regarding the social innovation if this stove goes so successful then I would also like to try them for example there is another idea that I'm working on is like I've currently stopped working on that is a a needle spray for a defensive needle is like the plant the moment you touch I guess Anup we can take it oh sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry I'm very sorry like I just go with the flow I'm sorry just just one parting shot and nope it's not an if it's about when so don't call it an if anymore just do it just go ahead and do it it's a good product just keep building it sure okay great so the last participant okay so thank you so much Anup and thanks a lot to all the participants for sharing their exceptional ideas science to do remembers for sharing their insights and suggestions on these ideas it would be great if you can share quick closing thoughts as well okay when Rahul okay you can go ahead in order of seniority Rahul please not at all okay please go ahead okay pleasure as usual Anupam Misfits always throws up exciting models exciting ideas exciting game changers actual change makers really inspired by Prabhaji's story Rekashu's scientific aptitude Anup's ability to take a punt on the future with regards innovation that is in a degree so all of that keeps us inspired keep inspiring team Misfits you're doing a great job in scouting the right kind of talent across the country and I'm there as usual as I've told you before there are going to be some announcements from last year that we're going to make very soon I need to know the nationals can date from you so that everyone everyone else whose whose whose hair on on these cohorts can also be hopeful of the fact that what Pauline pointed out at the onset this is impact this is social change this is change making and this is pe worthy innovation that they are doing profit equity is on their way if they continue doing what they're doing right now so that's that's my message to them just continue being whoever you are wherever you are because Prabhaji is the example for that just just just keep doing what you do best and and then keep loving what you're doing doing what you love that's it Rahul okay amplifying what you're saying always privileged and excited to see what Misfits is doing I was amazed last year I'm enthralled this year as well so I'm so glad that my Sunday was put to good use I could meet so many people who are doing some fantastic work you know and to my happiness it's less of tech and more of innovation is what I really like about you know because a lot of startups come in use a lot of tech which makes no sense but coming in and doing some innovations even having a thought to create some impact you know in our lives by some of these ideas you know I'm looking forward to some of them converting into MPVs and finally reaching the market and I'm always there as an individual to help anybody Misfits teams knows me they have my contact details you can reach out to them but from my side all the best to all of you no idea is small or no idea is should be just must be just because you never know what can turn into a concept and eventually business so you keep it going competition is there must be there even if there are something which is there in the market if you can provide a good alternate to it you know there is a market for everything so to say just that you need to keep a few things
