The Tricycle for Paraplegics project was done by Prof. Nishant Sharma. In India, around ten million people are mobility disabled. They lead under privileged livelihood. This hand tricycle is the result of our efforts towards paraplegic population and provides them with an attractive and self- reliant mobility solution. We have designed this human-powered mobility vehicle which is Light Weight, Modular and Weatherproof. The tricycle offers dual handles for pedalling action to gain higher initial torque and has capability to climb up slopes and move in undulated terrains. Its ergonomic design makes it user friendly in terms of visibility, accessibility, peddling, gear shifting, braking etc. It has added features like seat-adjustability for reach, comfortable footrest with strapping, luggage box and seat belt. We have consciously worked on the image of the product and made it attractive so that the vehicle is not seen as a symbol of sympathy but as a symbol of confidence.

Mumbai Transformation is a project led by Prof. Nishant Sharma, an academic and researcher with a focus on urban design and planning. The project examines the rapid urbanisation and transformation of Mumbai, one of the most densely populated cities in the world, while addressing the challenges and opportunities that arise in a megacity undergoing significant changes. Mumbai has experienced tremendous growth, resulting in infrastructural challenges such as traffic congestion, inadequate housing, and strained public services. The Mumbai Transformation project focusses on understanding these challenges and proposing innovative design and planning solutions to improve the city’s ivability. A core objective of the project is to explore how Mumbai can grow sustainably. This involves looking into efficient land use, eco-friendly transportation systems, and the integration of green spaces within the urban environment. The project advocates for a balance between development and environmental preservation.

Prof. Nishant Sharma from IDC IIT Bombay developed an air purifier in collaboration with the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI). The project focusses on creating an efficient, cost-effective solution for improving air quality in both indoor and outdoor environments. The purifier uses advanced filtration methods to remove harmful particulates, pollutants, and toxins from the air. This technology ensures high purification efficiency while maintaining low energy consumption. It is designed with eco-friendly materials; the purifier aims to minimise its environmental impact. It is also built for durability and ease of maintenance.
