In order to foster the next generation of entrepreneurs an innovative campaign, the Elevator Pitch, was organised at Marriott.
One of the top five finalists Ranjeet Singh spoke about his business idea called ‘DiVYA - Power now at home’ here on Monday. While talking to the mediapersons Singh elaborated about DiVYA saying that it was a gravitational device that generated energy for lighting, charging batteries in rural area and also aims to replace kerosene.
Singh said, “DiVYA - Power now at home’ was a very useful device for low income people in rural India where they don’t receive electricity even for basic purpose. I am extremely glad to be a part of ‘The Elevator Pitch’ and thank judges for selecting me as one of the top finalists. I hope my idea to generate electricity in every household becomes a reality.”
He further informed that DiVYA is an electric generator device that converts mechanical energy to electric energy thus generating electricity. The device does not require solar, wind or fuel to start and can be operated anywhere and does not emit deadly fumes so it is environment friendly. It is a cost effective product which and does not have any maintenance cost.
