What and Why

Young people from low income families are unable to access technology.

We conducted an on-site survey at Nuh (one of the least developed areas in India according to NITI Aayog) to understand the needs of the young people.

We are now helping DEF by creating new online content for them, as well as moving their existing content online. The content covers basic technology and computer literacy.

We are also supporting DEF with business development and growth as an organization.

Partners

The hub has partnered with DEF (Digital Empowerment Foundation) which has 500+ centers across the country.

Results

So far we have worked with hundreds of girls.

Problem

Traffic is one of the most significant challenges facing our city: not only are congested roads a strain on the environment, but also on our economy and overall quality of life.

Solution

Shapers in the New Delhi Hub propose the development of centrally-controlled traffic signals to regulate the flow of traffic through smart technologies and sensors. Shapers aim not to create the technology, but to convene and incentivize smart transportation solutions through the Swiss Challenge Method.

Partners

The hub wants to partner with local government officials to host an online challenge, where diverse citizens can submit proposals and bids, enabling decision-makers to identify the best technology and ultimately award a contract.
