DeliverE
This team, comprising Columbia University students, provides electric bikes for e-commerce deliveries in Tier-2 cities and suburbs of India. While major metros remain inundated with similar offerings, the solution offers parity to smaller cities and maintains operations through a sustainable, green pathway.
EmNet
This team, comprising Columbia University students, is developing an application of emergency responders for incidences of cardiac arrest in densely populated cities in India. Given the lack of emergency responders available on call per capita, especially in large metros, the solution can remove the information asymmetry and help provide care when most needed.
