Problem/Opportunity:
Plastic pollution is a grave threat for our environment, with low-value plastic causing particular challenges due non-recycling. However, recent Plastic-Offset mechanisms have allowed organizations to measure the plastic footprint of people and corporates and offset them against interventions. These interventions not only keep low-value plastics from becoming garbage but also create livelihoods in the process. This research project studies various plastic offset models across the world and recommends a design suitable for developing economies like India.
Project High-Level Activities:
- Research various Plastic Offset models
- Explore and compare them with Carbon offsetting models
- Design and develop a Plastic Offset model relevant to developing economies like India
- Validate the model in discussion with corporates
- Virtually Pilot the Plastic Offset model

Problem/Opportunity:
The company is developing a 6-seater open electric vehicle with architecture similar to that of a golf cart. India’s public sector needs vehicles that have a very rugged and durable construction. This project aims to design a 6 seater electric vehicle which would be used for daily short distance commutes at airports, railway stations, zoos, etc.
Project High-Level Activities:
- Select appropriate power train for the vehicle
- Design chassis layout to optimize cost, strength, and durability
- Select / design suitable suspension concepts
- Modeling/simulation of various conditions to test chassis and suspension performance
