Choose from real-world industrial challenges and develop innovative solutions that make a difference
Delhi's industrial hubs face congestion, fragmented supply chains, and outdated manual systems. MSMEs lack unified platforms, real-time tracking, and digital integration, causing delays and high costs. Opportunity: AI-powered route optimization, shared logistics, IoT tracking, and micro-warehousing.
Entrepreneurs struggle with fragmented regulatory processes, slow approvals, and lack of centralized tracking. High dependency on middlemen and limited awareness of schemes. Opportunity: Unified digital EODB platform, real-time tracking, automated reminders, and AI guidance.
Low uptake of IoT, AI, and automation due to high costs and lack of expertise. Manual inspections and frequent breakdowns reduce competitiveness. Opportunity: Affordable modular tech, cloud dashboards, AI quality checks, and skill training platforms.
MSMEs face limited credit access, poor market linkage, and low digital adoption. Lack of ERP/CRM tools and digital literacy hinders growth. Opportunity: Integrated support platform for credit scoring, market linkage, digital toolkits, and capacity building.
