SOME OTHER IDEAS
The
solar powered backpack: Lumos is a backpack that will charge your
phone, your iPod and all your gadgets on the go. Gandharv and Lavina
Bakshi’s company, Lumos, creates backpacks that are fitted with an
in-built battery that can store solar energy and in turn charge any
USB-based device. It’s also water-resistant, and impact and
shock-proof.
Affordable
sanitary napkins: Arunachalam Muruganantham’s company provides
affordable sanitary napkins to Indian women who can’t afford the
big brands. He built his own machine, which now produces 1,000 pads
sold at Rs.2 a piece. The machines have been bought by NGOs who
distribute the product to rural women through a “resident dealer”
who is a woman who educates them about feminine hygiene products.
