Dr Debasis Nayak, an associate professor in IIT, Indore, who examined this product and certified it, said, “The design of this machine is unique. It is very simple to use and most important feature that it has proved very effective in the technical test. The intention of helping the society through the project is heart-touching.”

Pharkya said, “We had a burning desire to be an entrepreneur for a long time, to create an entrepreneurship which proves useful to society.” He added that they observed that there is an urgent requirement of an effective disinfectant.

Airen said, “Our intention is to produce locally what is needed and have a positive impact on the society.”

Boradia said, “We first designed the concept, then prepares dyes and completed assembly with fitting and fabrications in Indore itself.”
