Flagship Innovation: The SanDi Machine

Org & Aura is pioneering next-generation sanitary bio-engineering. Its flagship product, SanDi, is a smart, contactless menstrual and diaper waste disposal system designed to address severe public health and environmental challenges: - Contactless Hygiene: Optical infrared sensors enable 100% hands-free disposal, eliminating cross-contamination in communal washrooms. - Localized Elimination: Rather than transporting biohazardous waste to overloaded metropolitan landfills, SanDi treats and neutralizes refuse at the point of origin. - Odor & Emission Neutralization: Catalytic air filtration and activated carbon matrices prevent aerosol dispersion and volatile odors. - Sustainable Institutional Footprint: Ideal for installation in universities, hospitals, and enterprise facilities seeking zero-emission sanitation.

Institutional Recognition & ₹60,000 Seed Grant

In recognition of their groundbreaking solution and entrepreneurial potential, the Management of Easwari Engineering College awarded a ₹60,000 Seed Grant to Org & Aura.

This grant directly funds advanced mechanical tooling and the pilot deployment of two SanDi operational units on the college campus. This real-world pilot will provide continuous telemetry, validating cycle times, user adoption, and energy efficiency in high-density student environments.

Incubation at RSRIF

Org & Aura is nurtured at the R Shivakumar Research and Innovation Foundation (RSRIF) – Startup Incubation Centre at Easwari Engineering College. Supported by dedicated mentors and institutional resources, the team is accelerating its patent-pending technology toward scaled manufacturing and commercial deployment.
