As a way to combat COVID, Aditya Pachpande, the 15-year old young entrepreneur built a Suraksha box, a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) UVC Light sterilization box, to sterilize everyday items like vegetables, groceries, electronics, parcels, currency, keys, etc and protects against bacteria, fungi, and viruses including all strains of COVID-19. The SURAKHSA Box has a Government of India (MC& I) patent published and is tested, approved, and certified by CSIR-CMERI (ICMR Approved lab) of Govt. of India.
Commenting on the World Record attempt, Aditya Pachpande, Founder, NextGenInnov8 said, “The world record attempt is part of our mission to donate 15.1 K Suraksha kits to the needy and underprivileged which we announced on the 151st anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. Wholeheartedly thank all the partners who are supporting us in this noble mission. The relevance of the Suraksha box goes beyond the Covid pandemic as newer infections are bound to occur in the future and feel it’s important for households and other relevant audiences to have such a box.”
