By Shivani Gupta June 28, 2023 Last summer, five students from Gurugram’s Shiv Nadar school sat down to identify and address real-world problems as part of their school curriculum in Class 10. For this, V Sahil Seshadri (15), Lakshya Goswami (16), Uday Singh (16), Sourish Grover (16), and Armaan Sharma (15) decided to zero in on the severe heatwaves generated by climate change and its effects. India has been battling unprecedented heatwaves that have massively affected its population’s health and resulted in loss of working hours, productivity, and economic well-being — especially farmers and daily wage labourers, who are forced to work in the open spaces. Only 4.9 percent of households in the country enjoy the comforts of air conditioners, and 14.1 percent of households possess air coolers. The students thus zeroed in on a simple, yet brilliant solution: an eco-friendly, portable, and cost-effective device named Zephyrus, which dually functions as a cooler and a heater. We sat down with these students to understand their innovation. What led to Zephyrus “Currently, there are only two forms of cooling devices in the market — coolers and ACs,” explains Sourish. “We found that the weather was so hot that even with centralised air conditioning, one would not feel comfortable during the transition to and from open spaces.” “This made us wonder how difficult it would be for those who can barely afford a cooling device, let alone such a high-end cooling system,” he adds. In a bid to understand the cooling comforts available in regular Indian households, the students approached school staff who use coolers. “We found out that they face multiple challenges. They have to refill the water tanks constantly, and prolonged use leads to a humid atmosphere. Coolers are inefficient during the monsoon season. We wanted to make a device which would benefit these users,” Sourish says. This was the inception of Zephyrus, which derived its name from th
