The Henkel’s international innovation competition for
students, which is in its sixth edition now,
is convening international students from 27 countries and this is the
6th edition of Henkel Innovation Challenge.
Harsh Vardhan Pande and Aditya Yadav of Sri Ramaswamy
Memorial (SRM) University, Tamil Nadu won the national finals of Henkel
Innovation Challenge 6.
The theme of the
national finals held on 8 February at Vashi, Mumbai, was 'Triple the value you
create. Create a sustainable world'.
The 2o13 global finals will take place in Shanghai, China.
Harsh Vardhan and Aditya will represent India in the finals which will be held
from March18 to March 20 2013 this year.
The winning concept was based on the adhesives industry. The
students calling themselves Radicals invented an illuminating adhesive. What
clinched it was that the boys presented a sample of their proposed product
giving a practical feel.
The National finals
held in Mumbai saw an enthusiastic display of ideas and innovation from across
cities. With students from IIM, IIT, NMIMS and other renowned colleges the
competition was one that had the most excellent minds vie against each other
for a spot in the global finals. 10 teams creatively presented their unique
ideas in keeping with the theme this year – “Triple the value you create.
Create a sustainable world”. The 10 teams that made the mark this year in India
were shortlisted from over 800 registrations.
Speaking on this
year’s competition, Mr. Jeremy Hunter, Country President, Henkel India said,
“Henkel strongly believes in facilitating aspiring students to bring out their
creativity and channelize it in the right direction. Our theme this year aligns
with the global requirement for a sustainable change compelling students to
think beyond.”
