We developed five smart classrooms at two government schools in Mysuru, each equipped with 8 kW of solar power systems. We also implemented rainwater harvesting setups as educational models to help students learn about sustainable practices.
We provided 28 kW of sustainable power to four Public Health Centers, and an additional 30 kW system—complete with inverter and battery backup—for the operation theater and maternity section at the district government hospital in Kodaikanal, Tamil Nadu.
We developed and continue to maintain a traffic circle in Vadodara, enhancing it with greenery by planting 2,500 saplings and installing a water body fountain. Additionally, we transformed dry areas at three locations in Vadodara city by planting approximately 10,700 saplings with automated drip irrigation systems, which we continue to maintain.
In Bengaluru, we designed and developed a dry area within the fire department campus, planting over 5,000 saplings, installing automated drip irrigation, creating a play area, and implementing rainwater harvesting—all of which we continue to maintain.
We also planted 19,300 saplings along the National Highway median in Bangalore.
Further, we supported government schools and universities—including NIT Warangal, BVM Engineering College in Anand, Gujarat, and a government office campus in Vadodara—by planting and maintaining over 200 saplings.
In total, we have planted and are maintaining 37,500 saplings across various locations in FY 2024–25, contributing to our broader goal of planting 75,000 saplings by FY 2025–26.
Additionally, we developed an access road and installed 20 solar-powered street lights for local villagers near our business location in Mysuru.
We helped design, development and set-up Smart Electric Grid (SEG) Lab and supported PhD scholars with the ongoing development of lab , while also mentoring other scholars.
At NIT Warangal, we introduced green mobility e-carts and established supporting operations including charging stations for use by students and staff. This initiative helps reduce the reliance on personal vehicles on campus and contributes to lowering carbon emissions.
We conducted 30-hour innovation contests namely INNOTHON 1.0 and INNOTHON 2.0 in 2023 and 2024 respectively. These events saw participation from over 100 students. We funded the development of working models during the event, awarded cash prizes and certificates to winners, and provided participation certificates to all other attendees. We will also support the implementation of the winning ideas.
Additionally, we have supported with internship opportunities to Master’s and PhD scholars, many of which have led to employment.
We conducted Technology Colloquiums at IIT Delhi, NIT Warangal, and BVM Engineering College, engaging participants from 44 institutions, including students, PhD scholars, and members of academia.
We are also hosting Academia-Industry Interactive Sessions at our facilities in Chennai, which include technical discussions, laboratory tours, and factory visits for academicians from NIT Warangal, IIT Roorkee, IIT Kharagpur, Anna University, and BVMEC.
At IIT Roorkee, we designed and developed the Collaborative Monitoring & Analytics Centre (C-MAC) Lab to support Master’s and research scholars. This lab is continuously upgraded to meet evolving academic and industry requirements.
To promote sustainable mobility, we provided e-carts with charging stations for students and staff, helping reduce the use of personal vehicles on campus and lowering carbon emissions.
Additionally, we implemented and continue to upgrade a microgrid system to optimize energy utilization.
