Through our partnership with KGVK, an Indian NGO, we conducted a survey of target users and gained valuable insights regarding their needs and how they understand irrigation.
I led the creation of conceptual and functional prototypes to demonstrate the functionality of our device. These prototypes will be further iterated to produce works-like and mass-produced models.
We conducted extensive research about the drip irrigation market in rural India and compiled a report to submit to KGVK and other stakeholders. This report will stand as a basis for our business plan.
