| It was uncalled times for lot of us here.I run the Futuretron Labs, were we work on an electric vehicle mobility solution.Lots of decisions had to be made during the lockdown: two of our employees from different districts had to move to their native communities and I was working out of this place called workbench projects, and since workbench projects is based out of metro premises they had to shut it down till the relaxation was lifted, still I was able to access the place once in a while.I started collaborating with Janastu in their workspace as it was easier to commute and I could do so using the bicycle.It was super fun to use this and test the capacity of the same during these times.As part of our work we translated a good talk on COVID19 by Dr. Dave Price (Weill cornell university New york) from English to Kannada.https://public.janastu.org/Covid-19/And as an entrepreneur I was looking at what can be done during these times that will enhance our skill sets as well as to put our knowledge to use.The idea was to make simplistic design of products.That’s when we developed three products: - Foot pedal operated Hand sanitizer dispenser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vwQVP58W8w- Automatic Contactless sanitizer dispenser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVUAyEjALoo- Ultra violet based Disinfector we named it as Futuretron Uvister: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-LuO2ZLBFU |
