Although Jaggi's parents initially thought his experiments were just a boyhood fancy,he remained determined to make a difference to the environment. Eventually,his parents came around and started supporting his dreams.Jaggi's interest continued as he grew up,but he focused more on solving real problems,especially those related to the environment. At 17,Jaggi went beyond his school projects and co-founded Ecoviate,a company that uses technology to solve everyday energy and environmental problems. He planned to transform people's idea that going green is expensive,by making a series of affordable products that are easy to use available.Through Ecoviate,he designed products that could contribute to a greener future.One of his notable inventions was the "CO2ube",a device that could be attached to vehicle tailpipes to reduce carbon emissions,and it's available to many people at low prices.He also created a smartwatch that changes body heat into energy,which can be used to power up the watch as well as mobile phones. Young Jaggi,now a third-grade college student studying engineering and economics,has become a famous eco-innovator and his company is developing promisingly.However,Jaggi's vision to save the environment goes beyond creating products.He plans to launch an online platform through Ecoviate,which will encourage young students interested in science and technology to get actively involved in innovation and invention.Students can submit a science project online,and talk about the help that they need to make the project a reality.
