Creating a Stress-Free World

Stress is an invisible adversary that affects people from all walks of life, undermining health, happiness, and productivity. Shankar understands this struggle intimately. After numerous failed attempts to alleviate his stress, he recognized the urgent need for a lasting idea. This persistent issue ignited his determination to not just find a temporary fix but to pioneer a groundbreaking approach to stress reduction.

The existing methods of stress management often fell short, leaving many, including himself, in a continuous loop of anxiety and frustration. This realization pushed him to think outside the box, aiming to create something that could offer more than just a quick fix.

Pioneering mental well-being with Sputnik Brain

Driven by a vision to revolutionize stress management with STEM, Shankar entered Samsung Solve for Tomorrow in India. Through personalized mentoring sessions, he refined his approach and learned a step-by-step process to bring his idea to life, while also mastering the use of data-driven insights for effective problem-solving.

This newfound knowledge empowered him to conceptualize Sputnik Brain, a wearable device designed to reduce stress through brain modulation. Sputnik Brain aims to offer not just temporary relief but a long-term idea for improving overall well-being. This innovative idea promises to enhance mental wellness by providing a method for managing stress.
