Participated in SCAD StartUp!
Environ is an advanced AI-powered smart home device that transforms any space into a responsive, health-aware environment. Equipped with multi-sensors, gesture control, and real-time health alerts, it learns user habits to optimize comfort, safety, and automation-making smart homes smarter and turning traditional homes into intelligent ecosystems.
Participating in the startup competition with our team — the MOJJERS — was nothing short of electrifying. The name itself, meaning “we like to have fun,” reflected our spirit throughout the journey. Our pitch for Environ, a cutting-edge smart home device designed to anticipate, learn, and protect, was a bold and ambitious vision — one that challenged us to push boundaries and think beyond conventional tech. From shaping our core idea to building a compelling narrative, we learned to fuse empathy with innovation and dreamt up a product that doesn’t just make homes smart, but deeply human.
What made the experience unforgettable was the camaraderie and synergy among us. Kanishk, our creative tech wizard, brought laser-like precision to our storytelling. Tanay lit up our brainstorming sessions with his strategic mind and infectious energy. Neel Shah grounded our vision with his calm, analytical insights, while Pratyush Raut brought in his keen sense of design and logic that tied everything together. Each of us brought something unique to the table, and together, we were greater than the sum of our parts.
We didn’t just build a pitch — we built a brotherhood. Through late nights, idea clashes, hilarious detours, and countless cups of caffeine, the MOJJERS showed up for each other with resilience and joy. Even when the pressure was on, we never lost our sense of humor or belief in the idea. Environ was our brainchild, but the process — the growth, the laughter, the trust — that was our real win.
