Hyderabad: With an aim to improve the working conditions of industrial workers, a Hyderabad-based company is building helmets with an inbuilt air-conditioner. Speaking about the innovative project, Kaustabh Kaundinya, Co-Founder and CEO of Jarsh Innovation makes the AC helmets, said that the idea for the innovative product stuck when he and his co-founders were on a bike trip during one summer.
"Ours is a 4-year-old company. This idea came when we were travelling on bikes. We faced a lot of problems due to heat issues. We researched about the product online but couldn't find any. That is when we decided to develop a cooling mechanism inside a helmet," Kaundinya told the media agencies. Elaborating further on types of helmets made by the company, the CEO said the AC helmets are available in four different models. "All of them works on the same principle but focused on different customers within the industry," he said.
"The first helmet is model E with a battery life of two hours for engineers who have to wear helmets for a short while. The second Model S is designed for skilled and semi-skilled technicians and comes with an external battery that runs for 10 hours. The third helmet is designed especially for welders with air conditioning inside it. We have a fourth one which is used by heavy machine users like JCB. In fact, we are partnered with JCB for the sale of the product," Kaundinya informed.
