Client Introduction

Mr. Sarang Mulawekar, a distinguished professor in an educational institute, approached us with a revolutionary invention—a stencil device for stenciling design on to a surface. This invention aimed to significantly improve the process of drawing cover setups, particularly in the hospitality industry.

Problem Statement

Sarang Mulawekar’s invention, titled “A Stencil Device for Stenciling Design on to a Surface,” addresses several key issues prevalent in existing educational and practical settings within the hospitality industry:
