Being stuck in the traffic can be a very annoying situation. Charishma noticed patterns in movements of vehicles during such traffic jams.  

One side of the road has more traffic in the morning, which shifts to the other side in the evening. So she proposed a simple, but very creative solution, the movable deviders.

Depending upon the incoming traffic from a particular direction, the dividers can be shifted to increase lane size.

Survesh with his blind granduncle and grandaunt has seen first-hand problems faced by the blind.

So, he thought of creating sunglasses that could help them recognize people and objects independently. The sunglass has an inbuilt camera to record the image and the name of a person met for the first time.

The next time the person meets the image processing software recognizes and speaks out his/her name to the blind person. It can also search online to identify objects.
