India’s Team Caeli comes 2nd at Microsoft’s Imagine Cup World Championship

A team of Indian students was declared second runners-up at the Microsoft Imagine Cup world finals here on May 6.

The three-member team from Faridabad-based Manav Rachna Institute of Research and Studies developed “Caeli” (which means air in Latin) – a smart automated anti-pollution and drug delivery mask specifically designed for asthmatic and chronic respiratory patients.

The world championship was organised on the first day of the annual Microsoft Build conference.

“Caeli” implements breakthrough features to improve the quality of life for respiratory patients living in polluted areas like in north India and especially in the Delhi and National Capital Region (NCR).
