  1. Transforming Nasik Into A Smart City – Thoughts By Dr. Uday Salunkhe

  2. Welingkar students contributed in a collaborative effort in Kumhathon by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Boston), USA. Aligned with the national agenda of Digital India, Kumbhathon started as an initiative to find solutions for KumbhMela, Dr. Uday Salunkhe explained. However, now it has become a testing ground for projects to convert a city into a smart city. All shops on-line is one such project. http://www.udaysalunkhe.com

  3. Company Name: Central Wall Innovators: SanchiPaingy and RichaAgrawal, PGDM What can user do with a Central Wall? A place where vendors meet customers, this is a platform for all the shops in the city to register online. Currently, it only provides information on shops basics and key specialties. http://www.udaysalunkhewelingkar.com

  4. Current Status: • Search location, keyword and category based information • Top 10 nearest locations information on the webpage and app. • Shop address along with co-ordinates stored in the system to capture on GPS and suggest the shortest distance • Webpage www.centralwall.in • Basic android app • Data base of around 1000 shops around Nasik road Challenges: • Double entry of the data in the system after it is collected from the field • Mapping all the shops with the exact location http://www.udaysalunkhe.net

  5. How was it tackled? An application with a digital form was created. The volunteers would fill in the details to help shopkeepers register. GPS coordinate tracker was installed to tackle data duplication and mapping issues. http://www.udaysalunkhewelingkar.in

  6. Future Prospect • Scale up the project across India • Subscription model for the shops post Kumbhathon • Every shop’s webpage to be created with maps and photos • Advertisement space for the shops on webpage http://www.udaysalunkhe.in

  7. Welingkar’s relation with the MIT has given students a platform to apply their theoretical management skills to live projects and build interpersonal relations with people from different background. It has also taught them how collaboration can lead to speeding up the event success. In no time Kumbhathon has bought all the essential stakeholders to join hands in making Nasik a smart city, concluded Dr. Uday Salunkhe. http://www.udaysalunkhewelingkar.in
