I have secured grant funding from the Indian Government under the DSIR (Department of Scientific & Industrial Research) PRISM (Promoting Innovations in Individuals, Start-ups and MSMEs) Program to work on EyeShift. Applying for this process taught me how to create budgets, project timelines, and practice elevator pitches. I am one of the youngest entrepreneurs to have secured this funding. I am also now receiving mentorship from the top scientists in India.
youngest innovator at crikc-cii tech expo 2023 by department of science & technology
I presented my project to the top doctors, professors, scientists, business owners, and college students of India. I was the only high school student invited to present at CRIKC-CII in a pool of university students from the top universities of India (such as the IITs).
