  Lamaara Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

  Sept 2016 - May 2020

  CTO | Co-Founder | Director at Lamaara Technologies

  • Lamaara Technologies is a hardware tech startup focused on clean water technologies and smart IoT agriculture concepts.• Invented a patent-pending low-cost water filtration technology. The filter can convert contaminated water into potable water without any water wastage filter. Also, it can eliminate bacterial/microbial contamination, suspended particles, colour, odour, iron, heavy metals, turbidity. Moreover, the filter can improve the PH level of water to a certain extent. • Received a Brand equity investment from Times of India (The Times of India is an Indian English-language daily newspaper and digital news media owned and managed by The Times Group), after which the final valuation of Lamaara Technologies Pvt. Ltd rose to 606907 USD.• Developed prototypes of a smart water bottle named Ibo, using different sensors and ARM microcontrollers Ibo helps to improve your health by tracking your water consumption and other physiological data. The smart water bottle can also detect whether the water is fit for drinking or not, if not, a uniquely developed filter (Patent-pending) inside the bottle will turn the contaminated water into potable water everything can be controlled by a mobile app via BlueTooth.• Presented company and prototypes at multiple startup expos for publicity and potential investment also raised an investment worth 77,546 USD.•Listed among top 500 Startup Awards by startup India.• Developed a marketing plan or business plan for company products based on comprehensive market research.• Being the Co-founder came with both managerial and technical responsibilities while facing many ups and downs, meeting new people, experiencing and learning about the industry working standards from the inner circle. Moreover, pitching ideas to working with Angel Investors had a wonderful entrepreneurial experience learning the tricks of the trade. Show less
