AI & ML Projects Mentored by the Leaders of IndiaNIC

Project 1: BenchHunt

Solution

B2B marketplace web app to find, hire, and onboard talented resources.

Problem Definition

There are two ongoing scenarios with all-sized organizations in the world today. Organizations with employees with expertise and skill sets sitting ideally and waiting for a project to come. And on the other hand, there exist organizations with projects, but no resources with the required skill set, to avoid the liability of spending time and efforts to find and add the right sources to the existing talent pool.

How does It help?

An on-demand resource platform like BenchHunt offers a WIN-WIN situation for both the companies facing the situations mentioned above. It is a web portal where companies can register to share the need of resources with the specific skill sets, experience, and technologies. They also can post the count of the free resources. AI & ML based match-making algorithm brings both the companies together to start bidding and engagement to kickstart the business.

Project 2: Foody

Solution

Online food ordering solution with smart cuisine recommendation.

Problem Definition

Even while exploring popular online food ordering apps like Swiggy, Zomato, etc. to try a cuisine never tried before, we tend to ask people in our network. But we never know what the huge volume of people outside our reach says. This is where an online food ordering app with smart recommendations like Foody helps.

How does it help?

Foody has the power of AI & ML to give users what they never would have imagined. Smart incremental search helps users to speed up the dish options they are looking for, once they type letters of the cuisine. Upon the selection, the smart recommendation engine shows users the best cuisine based on three parameters based on geographic location :

• Max. count of items added to the cart.
• Items added to the cart but not ordered.
• Items with maximum likes.

Project 3: Cheque Scanner

Solution 

Automated banking solution using computer vision.

Problem Definition

Human life is getting busiest every passing second and the need to go to the bank to deposit cheques is creating problems. Modern life requires a modern solution to this traditional banking process.

How does it help?

Cheque scanner is a mobile app that captures the cheque with all the information like IFSC Code, Cheque Number, A/C and Payee Details, date, etc. Bank employees see and verify the details. The cheque will be processed if details match, and declined if details do not match. This solution saves the time of the bank customers and enhances the banking experience.

Project 4: Contactless Attendance System

Solution

Automated workplace solution via facial recognition to check-in & check-out.

Problem Definition

Loads of organizations still having the biometric check-in/check-out systems in place. In the pandemic or post-pandemic era, where workplace hygiene could be the utmost priority, this existing attendance system needs to be replaced zero-contact solutions.

How does it help?

Contactless attendance system is an AI & ML based workplace solution that uses facial recognition technology. It is a system that identifies the faces of your employees for attendance marking. The facial image captured by the system verifies with the image data in the ERP in order to mark the attendance for that day.
