Solve Ninja success story

Thejeshwini, Solve Ninja

from TVS Hosur conducted
interviews and audits at
25 houses and realised
that people waste
electricity by leaving the
geyser on.

She built a low cost

automatic timer that will
alert the user when the
water is heated upto the
required level and saves
