  Key Project 1:
  Venturi Air Cooler (VAC) : Invented and engineered a personal air cooling device, which does not use any pump to lift water. VAC is 62% smaller in dimensions compared to any ordinary cooler and also gives much higher cooling efficiency while keeping issues like pump jamming at bay.
  
  Key Project 2 :
  Coanda Air-circulator: Invented and engineered a roof hanging product that incorporates an air-circulator, an air purifier and a light. it gives major cost benefits for the intended features while ensuring a great user experience.
  
  Key Project 3:
  Air Purifier 250: Design Architecture, Assembly Tolerance Stacks, Air Flow Management.
