"When the pandemic broke out, I realised that being on foot restricts your world to just 4-5 Km maximum. This mobility issue inspired me to design the kit," he added, whose indigenous innovation can convert any bicycle into an #EV.
The kit, known as #DVECK, enhances the features of a bicycle or rickshaw by giving it a speed of 25 kph, a weight capacity of 170 kilograms, and a range of 40 kilometres per charge.
In addition, the kit is fireproof & waterproof and has a charging port that can charge the phone battery up to 50 per cent with 20 minutes of pedalling.
Hisar-based Gursaurabh believes his solution can change health, education, and the agricultural sectors besides promoting clean energy.
His unique invention opens the EV sector to the country's masses and, in a unique deal, offered 100 hours of judges’ time on #SharkTankIndia.

(2/12) Both Vasudha and Ostara fly against stereotypes and ‘conventional wisdom’ – with her being in an otherwise male-dominated profession, and Ostara being focused on a specific niche. Otherwise, most investment banks specialise in offering services across multiple sectors.

Nestled in Rajsamand district, Molela seems a nondescript village to many. It’s often in the shadow of Udaipur, which lies about 15 kilometres away. ⁠

#DidYouKnow #IncredibleIndia #heritage #history Image
However, the village has a community of artisans that have garnered a name for themselves by developing a rare art style known as the Molela murtikala, where votive terracotta idols are made on flat surfaces like tiles and plaques.⁠
There is a local legend behind this unique craft that claims that there was a blind potter who dreamt of the deity Dharmaraj. In the dream, the deity asked him to dig for clay at a particular place and use it to make his image. ⁠
