    Mr. Akshay Budhabal and Swarali Babar
    Mr. Akshay Uday Budhabal, a student from second year Mechanical Engineering and Ms. Swarali Sunil Babar, a student of second year Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, from VP’s Kamalnayan Bajaj Institute of Engineering and Technology, Baramati, has started their own Start -Up called “CLOVER”, a 3D printer manufacturing firm. During a pandemic situation, these two students work on the idea to develop innovative and cost-effective 3D Printer. They shared their ideas with their faculty member, Dr. Vipin B. Gawande, Assistant Professor, from Department of Mechanical Engineering and as a team they work together to develop their own 3D Printer. The printer has various features like low noise, easy handling, efficient and cost effective.

    A 3D printer is based on additive manufacturing and print three dimensional (3D) parts with ease. This technology has a vast application in the field of automobile, manufacturing industry, aerospace, space, education etc. The 3D printer developed by this team is now available in the institute to develop various 3D objects and product as a part of academic projects. At the same time, under the shelter of Institute Entrepreneurship Cell, the team CLOVER is working on the expansion of their startup. Recently, they have presented their product in the KRUSHAK-2021, agricultural exhibition organized by Krushiby KrushiVidnyan Kendra, Baramati.

    Mr. Alok Babar
    Mr. Alok Chandrashekhar Babar studying in Final Year (Electronics and Telecommunication) Engineering, at VPKBIET, Baramati, launched his start-up in November 2020. He is working as a director of BYTE ELECTRONICS Company which is particularly involved in PCB design and manufacturing. He is also keen on designing electronics automation systems for the healthcare and agriculture sector. In covid 19 pandemic, he worked with Dr.Jyoti Rangole for designing sanitization systems including a hand sanitization machine, UV disinfection box, and medical oxygen saving system.

    He participated in various workshops, webinars, guest lectures organized by the Entrepreneurship Development Cell (ED Cell) of VPKBIET, Baramati, which motivated him to choose entrepreneurship as the career option.
