Summer is the time of the year where colors bloom, and for some people, ideas and inspirations. I am one of those people, as I went on to develop a prototype app on a fine summer.
June 2022, I saw a problem, people who are working out at home without any trainer or guidance end up either losing motivation or injuring themselves. I sought to find a solution if possible.
The solution I found was through computer vision. This application tracks your real time movement through your mobile’s camera to check your posture, form and range of motion. Then suggests improvements using GTTS in your posture.
I pitched this idea to a number of business competitions and opportunities, also debuted in a CNBC show called Skill Titan. I was the representative of this idea and gained a position in the Top 8 Participants.
Before this achievement, I faced multiple failures until the end of 2023. I also had no clue how I would pitch my business to such brilliant people as Mr. Ashneer Grover, India’s first Unicorn.
The confidence and belief in myself staggered a bit as I stood on my stage of presentation. I managed to crack through this subjective hurdle but I saw how amazing people and their many amazing ideas were shadowed because of their hesitancy.
Criticism, feedback and other peoples’ opinions sometimes become heavier than the setup required to bring up an innovation. I was aware of this and took measures that would help me overcome this issue. I hope, similar to me, every person that has an idea, innovation or thought that can make a difference gains the courage they require.
