“It was a three-year journey to secure the patent for CANTAP, a project born out of the unique circumstances brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. While confined to my home, I found myself contemplating the significant and alarming waste of oil in various industries. The prevalent issue was that customers often received an imprecise quantity of oil due to the cumbersome nature of traditional containers, leading to substantial wastage. Recognizing that every drop of oil is crucial, especially for a nation dependent on imports, I felt compelled to address this national wastage. This realization marked the inception of my ‘COVID project.’
The primary focus was to revolutionize the way oil is dispensed to minimize wastage. The conventional heavy containers were inefficient, leading to customers either receiving more or less oil than needed. This inefficiency became a national concern. Thus, I embarked on the journey of designing a container that would not only streamline the dispensing process but also contribute to the broader goal of reducing our nation’s oil wastage. CANTAP emerged as a solution to a pressing national challenge, and its three-year evolution from concept to patent underscores the commitment to creating a positive impact on both an industry and a larger societal scale.”

His dedication to solving real-world problems and his generosity in sharing the solution exemplify the true essence of a visionary leader.
