3D printers that can continuously print carbon fibre parts, smart toilets that use the Internet of Things (IoT) technology and rockets for space exploration, were some of the innovative technologies on display at ‘Prarambh: Startup India International Summit.’ The other innovations included apps that improve the lives of the visually impaired, mobile brick making machines, jackfruit flour that helps control diabetes and biodegradable personal protective equipment (PPE) suit that can be recycled into other products. These startups pitched their products and services to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and an audience of top business executives, government officials, and investors. “The energy and dreams of youth are huge. You all are excellent examples of that. This confidence should remain as it is,” Modi told the startup founders. “Think about the range of startups. These include carbon 3D printing, satellite launch vehicle, e-toilet, biodegradable PPE kits and technology for visually challenged. Whatever you said about your startups gives a feel of changing the future. That is a great power.”
