After Dad Falls Ill in Delhi, Son Finds Way to Turn ACs Into Air Purifiers #IndiaNEWS #Bengaluru
In September 2017, 56-year-old Kaushal Jha, a government employee, was transferred from Bhilai to Delhi. Two months later, he complained about chest pain and was immediately rushed to the hospital. After four days of treatment, Kaushal returned home after learning that it was the severe air pollution which took a toll on his health.
His son, Aayush who was working in Bengaluru, flew to Delhi to see his ailing father. “My family members regularly jog, perform exercises and pursue fitness activities. However, air pollution was what affected my father’s lungs. The doctor advised him to stop exercising, buy an air purifier or leave Delhi altogether,??? says the 30-year-old.
Aayush adds that as moving out of Delhi was not a practical solution, the family decided to buy an air purifier. But soon, he learned that the amount of indoor pollution could not be mitigated with one air purifier for his three-bedroom hall kitchen (3BHK) flat in Ghaziabad.
It was this curiosity that led him to analyse the functionality of the air purifiers and his discovery was what moved him to create his own startup venture. “It was funny to know that there was just a fan working as an exhaust to pull in the air from the room. The filter behind it just absorbed the pollutants and released the air back outside,??? he adds.
