Software + Hardware (AI, IoT, Cloud)
Theme: Smart City / AI for Governance
Traffic congestion in Indian cities leads to time loss, fuel wastage, and accidents. Design an AI-powered traffic control system that integrates IoT sensors, cameras, and data analytics to optimize traffic flow, predict congestion, and reduce accidents. The solution should be scalable, cost-effective, and adaptable to Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities.
Hardware + Software (IoT, Data Analytics, Environment Tech)
Theme: Smart City / Sustainability
Air, water, and land pollution are growing challenges in Indian cities. Create an IoT-based pollution detection and treatment system that monitors pollutants in real time and suggests corrective actions (filtration, recycling, awareness). The solution should also include a citizen awareness app to sustain the “Cleanest City” initiative.
Software (AI, Mobile App, Telemedicine)
Theme: HealthTech / Social Impact
Access to quality healthcare in rural India is limited due to doctor shortages. Build an AI-driven healthcare advisory app that detects symptoms, provides first-level advice, and connects patients with doctors remotely. The system should be simple, multilingual, and capable of working with low internet connectivity.
Software / Hardware (depending on solution)
Theme: Social Innovation
Communities in India face issues related to safety, education, livelihood, and healthcare. Propose a technology-driven solution (app, IoT device, or digital platform) to address at least one of these challenges. The solution should be scalable, affordable, and designed for maximum social impact.
Hardware + Software (Renewable Tech, IoT, AI)
Theme: Sustainability / Clean Energy
India’s growing energy demand requires clean, affordable, and innovative solutions. Develop a green energy prototype or system (solar, wind, hybrid, bioenergy, or energy optimization) that can be deployed in both urban and rural areas. Focus on affordability, ease of maintenance, and long-term sustainability.
Software (Web + Mobile App)
Theme: MSME / Entrepreneurship
Many MSMEs lack digital tools for managing business operations. Build a low-cost, multilingual digital platform for small businesses to handle inventory, payments, and customer relations, helping them grow in the Digital India ecosystem.
Software + Hardware (AI, Drones, IoT)
Theme: Disaster Management / Safety
Floods, earthquakes, and urban fires cause huge losses in India. Create an AI-driven emergency response system that uses IoT sensors, drones, or apps to detect risks early, alert citizens, and assist authorities in effective disaster management.
Software (Blockchain, Cloud)
Theme: Agriculture / MSME / Logistics
Supply chain fraud and inefficiencies affect farmers, MSMEs, and consumers. Design a blockchain-powered platform to ensure transparency, reduce middlemen, and provide fair pricing for stakeholders across agriculture, pharma, or handicrafts.
Software (AI, ML, Security Tools)
Theme: Cybersecurity / AI
Cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated, targeting individuals, businesses, and government systems. Build an AI/ML-based system that detects phishing, malware, and ransomware threats in real time. The solution should provide predictive analysis, alerts, and simple dashboards for both technical and non-technical users.
Software (FinTech, Cybersecurity, Mobile App)
Theme: Cybersecurity / Financial Inclusion
With the rise of UPI and digital wallets, rural India is vulnerable to payment fraud and scams. Develop a secure, multilingual payment interface with built-in fraud detection and cyber awareness features that ensures safe digital transactions for semi-urban and rural users.
Software (Web/App + Awareness Tools)
Theme: Cybersecurity / Education
Cyberbullying, online fraud, and data theft are major risks for students. Design a cyber safety platform that provides awareness, anonymous reporting, parental/student safety tools, and AI-driven detection of online risks for youth.
Hardware + Software (IoT, AI, Blockchain)
Theme: Cybersecurity / Digital Privacy
Passwords are outdated and insecure. Create a next-gen authentication system (biometrics, blockchain-based ID, or multi-factor authentication) that ensures secure access to digital platforms without compromising usability.
