The idea is to be able to use a website as a remote switch for places where manual monitoring isnt possible or is too painful. Its already implemented to control lighting of the outer ring roads in Bangalore. The concept of the second prize winner looks alarmingly close.

I especially loved the panel discussion. Students like us get to learn a lot whenever we get to attend discussions among such reputed people. It was a pleasure, I must admit and for that I thank you for being there :) Hope you enjoyed our work too :) I was part of Team SKAN (the team that came second) and I must say it was a good experience.

Srikrishna Sat, 10 May 2008 11:27:58 +0000 http://ssemergic.wordpress.com/?p=495#comment-17870 Prof. Sadagopan, Welcome back - its good to see you on line again blogging. We need more such competitions/events, even if inside companies and more importantly in high schools and colleges, so that there is culture of innovation built from early in schools. At Impulsesoft, when we held a (purely internal) HackFest, some incredible demos were created in the course of one Saturday. As you state, software makes things a lot easier to get done - however we even saw guys innovate with hardware (such as how do you drain (or charge a battery) to desired setting (for testing purposes) in a single day. Wasn't always pretty but was very functional. Hope to hear more from you. regards srikrishna http://designofbusiness.blogspot.com/ Prof. Sadagopan,

I would add another difference to Kiran Karnik's keynote speech: the power of Indians connected to the global industry, with international expertise and network, coming back (and fourth) to India for entrepreneurship. Regards, Ricardo Very nice!
