Unique Features Of The Solution/equipment - How Is It Different Than What Is Available In The Market:

1) USP: Transportation cost of raw material (80% of weight is not useful as it is water) is reduced2) USP :Availability of fresh sugarcane for premium quality jaggery, throughout the year because of mobility.3) USP: Utilization of surplus sugarcane and access to remote farms (not useful once sugar mills shuts down). 4) USP: Mobile unit would provide flexibility in terms of rental module wherein, the unit can be hired on rent and there is no requirement for land ownership5) USP: Use of ingeniously developed technology(Indian Patent No. 201921017279) for the production of organic powder without any chemical additives, which has higher market value.

Indicate Process Followed to arrive at the problem statement for which Solution has been developed:

Team members from IITB working on Mobile jaggery unit participated in GDC IIT Madras Incubation program (i-Incubate Cohort) Conducted 110+ interviews of possible customers and stakeholders to validate our hypothesis related to mobile jaggery plant.On the basis of the data generated from these interviews, we identified the pain points of jaggery manufacturers and sugarcane farmers. It served as the basis for our problem statement.Problem Statement : Traditional jaggery manufacturing process is labour intensive and drudgery driven as well. The process is unhygenic and dosed with chemicals to impart consumer appealing colour, which has lower value in urban market.Inteviews were conducted in all the major jaggery producing states1) Maharashtra2) Karnataka3) Uttar Pradesh4) Madhya Pradesh5) Kerala6) Chattisgarh7) Andhra Pradesh8) Punjab
