Myself of Ajith Kumar and I'm the CTO and cofounder of Nammack Research and Innovation. We were working on the problem of arsenic mitigation. Basically, our project is related to removing arsenic from the groundwater and the arsenic contamination is majorly in these rural areas. We were conducting surveys and our pilot study in the rural area and from there we got to know the pain point of those people who were living in this affected area and drinking the arsenic contaminated water and they have no alternative rather than to drink the polluted water. So from that point it started developing our product. On the same point, there was a social angle to first serve those people. Basically we are using rare earth magnets, so they are neodymium magnets and in India there is a no like supply chain of that magnet. So AKI vendor and we have and it is quite costly also. So that was the one challenge because there is no supply chain of the magnet pilot spammers are structural issues. We have to totally redesign our filtration product with a sheet metal like previously we were doing it with plastic. These were two major challenges that we faced during our development of product. Having a team with a common vision is the biggest motivator. If you are keeping people around you who have the same vision, then you don't have to look for motive for motivation in any other direction.
