I serve as the captain of Team Gandiva, a collective of enthusiastic students who are passionate about electric vehicles. Our mission is to design and create EVs and compete in competitions across India.As captain, I oversee six subteams, each of which is responsible for a distinct aspect of the vehicle. This opportunity to collaborate with such passionate students is something I value greatly.I am proud of what Team Gandiva has accomplished thus far.

I have the honor of sharing that Team Aurora has recently won the Smart India Hackathon. This is a great recognition of our work, for which we also received a cash prize of Rs. 1,00,000. Our work consisted of the development of an intelligent motor monitoring and control system equipped with AI/ML technology. This technology is capable of predicting and monitoring the motor’s health, thereby improving its efficiency and life span. This subsequently reduces the costs associated with service and maintenance, and it is poised to revolutionize the industry. I am enthusiastic about witnessing the future applications of this technology.On a more technical level, I was responsible for designing the hardware for the prototype. I also implemented CAN and I2C communication for the project and worked on several development kits, including Arduino, ESP8266, and STM32 Microcontrollers. Additionally, I used software like EasyEDA to design the PCB for the project.I am convinced that this technology represents a turning point for the motor industry. It has the potential to generate significant savings for companies in both time and money. It may also contribute to improving the safety and reliability of motors.I am thankful for the opportunity to have been part of this project and am proud of what we were able to achieve. I am also excited about witnessing the future uses of this technology.Please visit our website at https://teamaurora.info/ to learn more.
