DESI 2018- Sports Engineering Product Design Contest

Sports & Management Research Institute (SMRI) is the first Sports Management and Sports Engineering Research Institute in India, working to make India a sports superpower. We strongly believe that advanced low cost sporting machines are a must to professionalize Indian sports and to enhance the performance of Indian athletes. The second edition of NATIONAL SPORTS ENGINEERING PRODUCT DESIGN CONTEST (DESI 2018) aims to engage and inspire sports loving students and public with engineering acumen to dream, design and develop low cost desi Sporting Machines to make India Sports Superpower. The selected ideas of the DESI 2016 is going through the development stage.

SMRI invites sports loving students and public with engineering acumen to participate in DESI 2018 with innovative, low cost DESI sporting machine designs or prototype or final product. The product should be a low cost one. It is not compulsory that the product is new to the world. You can copy the model of an existing product, but the improved product should be ‘economical’ to our sports ecosystem. Improvement in existing design, innovation to reduce the production cost etc. will also be considered.
