Samsung’s nationwide innovation initiative, Solve for Tomorrow 2025, is inspiring a wave of tech-driven ideas across India’s youth with its latest roadshows energizing students in Jammu, Kolkata, and Shillong.
Launched on April 29, the programme invites youth aged 14–22 to develop real-world solutions through design thinking. The top four winning teams will receive INR 1 crore each for incubation, alongside mentorship from Samsung leaders and IIT Delhi faculty. The final date for applications is June 30.
At North Eastern Hill University (NEHU) in Shillong, students showcased powerful ideas rooted in local realities. Bashan Kur Buhroy’s concept — a drone-based system for delivering emergency medicine to remote villages — struck a chord. “Many areas in the Northeast have no ambulance access. With Samsung’s guidance, I want to change that,” he said. The Shillong market, with its strong network of student innovators and grassroots tech users, offers fertile ground for such solutions to scale in both health and logistics sectors. Spandan Mahapatra proposed an AI tool to detect learning disabilities, while Jammu’s Ayan Shahid Malik introduced a mobile system for soil health monitoring for farmers.
