Navonmesh – A Brief Introduction Navonmesh, the entrepreneurial convention at Avenues 2012, aims to breathe in a new life to the spirit
of innovation in the country. The biggest problem faced by the innovators in our country is the lack of
proper business advice. A plan woven around their innovations would enable them to take it
further. This event is the flagship event at Avenues 2012, the annual business festival of IIT
Bombay.
At Navonmesh, our objective is to offer a helping hand to those innovators and sensitise the
modern business school fraternity about the potential and power of such innovations.
Event Structure Through the B-Plan challenge event business plans are invited for innovations which are in their nascent
stage of development. Five innovations are selected from Tepp. Participants will be provided an
opportunity to choose innovations and they have to craft b-plans to commercialize these innovations.
Please read the general rules and timelines for further details. Prizes
• 1st prize worth Rs. 50,000
• 2nd Prize worth Rs. 20,000
1. Light Emitting Tiles
Innovator: Madhav V Sawant Overview The regular front loading washing machines carry a concrete block of approximate 30 kg for an 80 kg machine weight to stabilize the machine. This results in an unnecessary dead weight, higher powered motor requirement and power loss in vibration. The innovator has developed an anti-vibration mechanism for front load washing machines which eliminates this concrete block and compensates for the vibration. These tiles are meant for energy conservation. They absorb the light incident on it & illuminate in the dark. These tiles get charged within three hours with existing lighting sources & illuminate as much as eight hours. The illumination is as much as small night lamp. They can be used in places like lobby of building, offices, commercial places, institutes, etc. It may be noted that at any construction place like residential or commercial, the lights are continuously on throughout the night. The electrical energy at this place can be saved considerably.
Features • The property of emitting light is life long • Brightness of the emission does not deteriorate over the period. • It is free from any harmful toxicity. • These tiles can be installed in new or old construction place. • The installation does not need special skills. • Each tile of size 115mm X 115mm offers 48 mcd which diminishes over period of eight hours

Cost With current production process the cost of tiles per sq. ft. comes to be Rs. 260.00 per sq. ft. Current Status o Innovator has already developed & demonstrated the tiles o The innovator has applied the patent
Other Details The innovator wants to license this mechanism to a multinational vendor for international markets.
2. Supercapacitor Innovator: P B Karandikar, Pune Overview To reduce the battery sizing (Ah) and cost in all types of key start vehicles and electronic appliances havening DC motor by using supercapacitor in parallel with conventional d battery. Starting of any motor requires large current at very short time duration. Such current is presently delivered by battery and hence its size required is more. It can be delivered by the supercapacitor. Thus use of supercapacitor in parallel with battery will make it a hybrid power source. Innovator has developed supercapacitor which can be used directly in parallel with conventional batteries in applications like camera, PMDC motor starting in toys and small electronic appliances. The developed module can be used in series parallel with power electronic interface in all kinds of key start vehicles.
Features Faradic value capacitance,
Low cost compare to imported supercapacitors.
Light in weight (20gms/F)
Very less maintenance, once in six months
Cost Rs 15 for @2 F / 1.1 V supercapacitor.
Current Status
Its internal resistance is high and some packaging issues are to be resolved. In next 6 months times it can be addressed.
2 patents have been filed for this product by innovator
Work to improve the performance is in progress
Power electronic interface option is not yet explored but many companies can take up such task to make the use of supercapacitor more viable
Other Details Supercapacitor (product) is to be used in series parallel. Voltage balancing issues is required to be solved and innovator would like to have collaboration to take the product to commercial level by further improving it. Final product development after solving all issues related to it, will take about 1 year time as per innovators predictions.
3. Digital Controlled Precise Dispensing Valve for Liquids under Gravity Flow
Innovator: Satish V. Pathak
Overview This is a precise dispensing valve to be used for gravity flow of liquid media. The valve is actuated by pneumatic power and regulated through a digital controller. Here, the term Precise Dispensing does not mean Small Quantity as interpreted many a time but used to mean delivering results more precisely, more accurate – beyond international standards. The main purpose of project is to set an edge above the current practices and standards in the design, concept of valves, its associated control action and the results we get as a final outcome of all.
Features Eliminate need of Dual Flow-rate / Two-Stage Flow concept i.e. Coarse & Fine flow using two
valves.
Eliminate dependency in Selection of pair of valves that are manufactured, tuned as per various factors like Media (fluid), Viscosity, Header Pressure and Limited Range of Target Quantity etc
Eliminate the current practice of defining accuracy achieved in terms of Percentage of Target Quantity.
Provide substitute to above as – Dispensing of any Liquid Media from same single valve by using new concept of Single Largest possible Flow-rate and varied range of dispensing packets that have very fine variation of quantity and this can be as small as a Drop weighing fraction of a gram. This makes the valve highly versatile that eliminated dependency on media, viscosity, and header pressure that further extends the range of target quantity to a great extent say replacing such 3 to 4 pairs of valves used for limited quantity targets. Further any flexible target can be achieved to absolute accuracy chasing till last drop, giving faster delivery and tight shut-off too. The valve is made out of machined SS316 parts and Teflon that makes it applicable for almost every liquid media say Milk to Acid. One can simply wash, thoroughly clean or sterilize the valve and use it for any other desired liquid media and may be for a different target quantity ranges that of used prior.
Cost
This would not be limited to simple calculations of cost of manufacturing + expected profits but will have scope to demand premium and a strategic decision. Expected price would be Rs. 70K for a single valve + its digital controller.
Current Status
Innovator is about to complete the task of building showcase of 8-10 valves having different characteristics. Interested in setting up own manufacturing company and spread across international market.
4. Romantaque – Post hair Removal Hair Minimizer (Reduces Hair Re-growth) Innovator: Mrinmayee Bhushan
Overview Innovator had observed that some identified group of actives, known to be dermally inactive, and were noted to inhibit hair growth. However the speed was found to be very less, and duration needed for the effect was very long, affecting the user compliance and hence the efficacy of the product. Innovator thought about targeting the actives to hair follicle. With TePP help, expertise was sourced to carry out the development conceived by the innovator. Based on the TePP assisted development as a input, final cosmetic formulation was developed for the market. Romantaque is an outcome of the technology Hairminator and Maharashtra FDA certified cosmetic.
Features
Post Hair Removal – Minimizes future hair regrowth.
Pre-treatment – TWEP (=Tweezing , Waxing, Epilation, or Threading). Depilation Acceptable however effect of inhibition would be slower than TWEP.
