Coimbatore, India,  30 July 2020 —  AspireFactory a Startup AIC Raise, Supported by Atal Innovation Mission, NITI Aayog from Coimbatore has developed the world’s most cost-effective sanitisation chamber. The chamber uses UVC light to clean the pathogens in handbags, laptop bags and packaged food.

The cost of the devices varies from INR 1700 to INR 6000. There are also retrofit kits where household products can be retrofitted with the kits and converted and used as UVC sanitisation chambers. The time required to sterilise the items vary from 5 minutes to 22 minutes. The products were developed with the car shed as their workshop area and the balcony as the discussion room. They also have a couple of volunteering interns who are with them throughout their journey

The team is looking to create a Sustainable Technology Ecosystem by training teams across the country from Self-help Groups to young startups in developing the chambers and selling them in the local markets.
