Problem Statements for Various Sectors

Fintech
1. Land Ownership and Dispute Resolution Platform:
Farmers and rural communities often face land disputes due to a lack of secure
and verifiable land ownership records. This leads to fraud, corruption, and even
the loss of land titles in cases of natural disasters. Without a reliable system to
track land ownership, many families live in constant uncertainty about their
property rights.

2. Financial Literacy and Access for Rural Entrepreneurs:

Rural entrepreneurs, especially those with limited education, struggle to navigate
the complex financial system. They often lack access to banking services, loans,
and financial education, making it difficult for them to start or grow a business.
This results in financial exclusion and hinders economic growth in rural areas.

Agriculture
1. Community-Based Crop Exchange Platform:
Small farmers in rural areas often face challenges in efficiently distributing
surplus crops and sharing resources like irrigation equipment or machinery.
Without a structured way to exchange goods and services, farmers waste
resources and miss opportunities to reduce costs. The lack of collaboration and
trade options leads to inefficiency and financial strain.

2. Agricultural Data Platform for Crop Monitoring:

Farmers in rural areas have limited access to real-time data on weather, soil
health, and crop conditions. Without this critical information, farmers make
suboptimal decisions about water usage, fertilizer application, and pest control,
resulting in lower yields and resource wastage. The lack of reliable data makes it
harder for farmers to adapt to changing climate conditions.

3. Blockchain-Based Climate-Resilient Crop Insurance for Small Farmers:

Small farmers are highly vulnerable to climate change and unpredictable
weather events, but they often cannot access affordable or reliable insurance
products. Traditional insurance systems are slow to adapt to changing conditions
and often fail to provide adequate protection. Farmers risk losing their livelihoods
to natural disasters without the financial support needed to recover.

HealthCare
1. Pharmacy and Hospital Search Platform:
During emergencies, people often struggle to find nearby pharmacies or
hospitals that have the necessary medicines and equipment. In remote areas,
this issue is even more pronounced, as people may not know where to go or how
to access vital healthcare services quickly. Delays in locating healthcare
resources can lead to worsened health outcomes and even fatalities.

2. Blockchain-Based Healthcare System for Traveling Doctors:

Traveling healthcare providers working in rural areas face significant challenges
in accessing and updating patient records across multiple locations. The lack of a
unified system means that medical histories are often incomplete or outdated,
making it difficult for doctors to provide timely, accurate care. This lack of access
to patient information increases the risk of medical errors and delays in
treatment.

3. Prescription Verification System:

Prescription fraud is a growing issue, especially in remote areas, where verifying
the legitimacy of prescriptions can be difficult. This leads to the misuse of
prescription drugs, including unauthorized sales and consumption. Pharmacies
and healthcare providers struggle to ensure that prescriptions are valid, resulting
in potential harm to patients and the healthcare system.

Education Technology
1. Dynamic Curriculum Mapping Platform:
Many teachers face difficulty in aligning their curriculum with real-world
applications, industry trends, and job market demands. As a result, students
often graduate without the necessary skills to meet the needs of today’s
workforce. The disconnect between classroom learning and industry
requirements leaves students unprepared for future career opportunities.

2. Educational Platform to Enhance Critical Thinking:

With the increasing reliance on AI-generated solutions, students are losing the
ability to engage deeply with problem-solving tasks. This over-reliance on AI
tools reduces their cognitive engagement and critical thinking skills. The focus on
quick fixes and easy solutions undermines creativity and the development of
important problem-solving abilities.

Enhancing Safety in Public Spaces

In a busy city, Priya often feels uneasy walking home from work in the evening. The
streets, though crowded, are poorly lit, and she’s constantly worried about her safety.
Despite efforts from local authorities, crime rates remain high, especially in areas where
surveillance is limited. Priya wishes there was a way to feel safe, knowing that help
would be just a call away.

started to worry about the increasing risks of fraud and identity theft. I’ve heard of cases
where people’s accounts were accessed through sophisticated AI-driven impersonation
techniques. I need a way to feel secure while managing my finances.

Could you help me out with better safety measures so that I could continue online
banking without any worries?

Transaction Data for Sustainability

So this is Suresh , an Undergraduate student from Anurag University. My friend and I
are eager to contribute to sustainable development, but we’re unsure how to start. Do
you ever feel overwhelmed by the idea of reducing your carbon footprint? We track our
spending, but we never thought about how our purchases impact the planet.

What if AI could analyze our transaction data and give us simple, actionable tips to
make eco-friendly choices? Imagine if we could get suggestions for greener alternatives
every time we shop—how much easier would it be to make a positive impact?

Optimizing Hyperlocal Demand Prediction

Namasthey , Amit here. I run a fast-growing grocery delivery service in my
neighborhood, but predicting demand is always a challenge. Some days, we run out of
popular items, while other times, we're stuck with stock that just doesn’t move. It’s
frustrating because I want to deliver the best experience, but without accurate insights,
it’s tough to stay ahead.

hit a moving target!

Could AI help me making our marketing not just effective, but truly impactful?

Culturally Aware CRM Systems

Hi, I’m Ayesha. I handle customer relations at a growing retail company in India, and
I’ve realized that traditional CRM systems just don’t capture the full picture. They often
miss out on the rich cultural and socio-economic diversity that shapes our customers’
needs. What works for a city dweller might not connect with someone in a rural area.

Imagine if AI could analyze customer data in a way that understands regional tastes,
cultural influences, and income disparities. With AI-powered segmentation, we could
offer tailored experiences and relevant products, making our CRM system not just more
efficient, but truly customer-centric.
