The ventures and prototypes that were projected for the Navitri Innovation project exhibition - 2017 were showcased under five categories, Consultancy@Somiaya, Start-ups@Somaiya, Sustainability@Somaiya, Budding innovators@ Somaiya & Made @ Somaiya. Among these, the most noted were the three consultancy projects, Linen accounting System, Motion sensor Announcer and Water level sensor. All the three are unique in their approach, but at the same time similar, as they all cater to the problems of Indian railways.
