Innovators shared their exciting journeys towards diverse sustainable, inclusive, and frugal solutions. Nayak Suratanbhai and Nayak Kavliben from Chhota Udaipur brought samples of Hariyali Handi, their naturally non-stick earthenware, and Shaik Rajalipasha from Telangana demonstrated his motorcycle helmet that enhances road safety for hearing-impaired persons. Young innovators like Nabajit Bharali, who showcased his sensor-based automatic feeding machine, and Tejaswi Velugapally and K. Pragnya Sree with their food storage solution Techredi, were featured alongside veteran farmers Ram Vilas Maurya who shared guavas of his G-Vilas variety, and P. Bhaskaran whose backhoe loader offered an affordable alternative to JCBs. Several deeptech innovators made a social impact as well, such as Muskan, Abhishek and Radhesh whose Golden Feathers brand employs tribal women to create textiles and paper from waste chicken feathers, and SKUAST-affiliated Dr. Khalid Z. Masoodi, Aqib Hurrah and Azmaan Shafi who developed a low-cost plant-based prostate cancer therapy.
