Vinay Ahuja, our first profiled Interaction Design student, has created an innovative employment finder for the low income group.

"The project is named after Kalpataru, the wish-fulfilling tree. It's an attempt to understand and solve the problems faced by people like carpenters, plumbers, maids, etc. in finding employment."

Ahuja, whose interests include HCI, user experience design, tangible interaction, mobile application and game design, adds that, "The solution given to the problem is by designing an Interactive Voice Response system and a mobile application that can help employers find employees (plumbers, carpenters, etc.), and in return the employees finds employment."
