Patent No. 590011 - Government of India

Engineering new ways
to cook, preserve,
and produce.

Young Inventor & Patent Holder

I'm a prolific young inventor and engineer from Puducherry, India, driven by a simple instinct: when something is done the hard way out of habit, I try to build a better way. That curiosity has grown from early robotics experiments into a granted Government of India patent - the Contemporary Device for Dum Cooking Method - now open for licensing and production partnerships, with three more applications moving through the process.

Contemporary Device for Dum Cooking Method
Patent No. 590011 - Application No. 202441040800
Product Explainer - How the Device Works, From Charcoal Problem to Finished Dish
The Problem
  • Unsafe: Traditional dum cooking uses burning coal on sealed lids - creates smoke, ash, fire hazards.
  • Imprecise: No heat control - results are inconsistent (burnt or soggy food).
  • No Alternatives: Slow cookers, microwaves, air fryers don't replicate authentic dum cooking.
The Solution
  • Dual-Zone Heating: Smart-controlled top + bottom heating (no coal needed).
  • Perfect Results: Automated moisture control = perfectly fluffy rice every time.
  • Smart Design: 90-96% vessel coverage stirrer, sealed chamber, optional ceramic thermal well.
  • Versatile: Works for home kitchens, restaurants, commercial food production.
Target Market
  • Restaurants & Hotels: Heritage & cloud kitchens needing consistent dum prep at scale.
  • Food Manufacturers: Automated, scalable production solutions.
  • Institutional Kitchens: Hostels, hospitals, corporate cafeterias.
  • Urban Homes: Modern apartments wanting authentic dum cooking without smoke.

IoT & Sensor-Based Apparatus for Skin Cleansing or Massaging
Application No. 202541015513 - Published 07 Mar 2025

A hands-free device for cleansing or massaging the back (dorsum), using IoT and sensors to auto-detect the user's presence, adjust height, and rotate a set of brushes automatically. It dispenses and manages cleaning or medicated fluids, self-cleans after every use, and is built with removable, disposable brush heads - abrasive enough to exfoliate effectively without harming skin. Designed to be energy-efficient and safe for unsupervised home use.

Integrated Motorcycle Recovery Dolly System
Application No. 202641069329 - Published 12 Jun 2026

A single-operator dolly system for towing immobilized two-wheelers - no flatbed truck required. It uses a mount frame, wheel cradle, and clamping mechanism to lift and stabilize the front wheel while the rear wheel spins freely, with a stabilization and caster wheel mechanism to prevent imbalance during transport. Built for roadside recovery, workshops, and towing services needing a lighter, more maneuverable alternative to conventional towing equipment.
