GURUGRAM, India – September 26, 2025 – Samsung, India’s largest consumer electronics brand, today announced the Top 20 finalist teams of the 4th edition of its pan-India innovation competition, Samsung Solve for Tomorrow 2025.
The finalists include bright young minds from rural India, Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities across 12 states, reflecting the programme’s vision of encouraging young changemakers to use technology to solve wide-ranging issues in their communities. This year, a 14-year-old qualified as a finalist, an all-girls team entered the final round, and two teams from the North East made it to the Top20.
They are working on innovations such as AI-powered solution to enable people with visual impairment to play chess independently, imaging sensors mounted drones to collect pollution data and create Voxel maps. Besides, ideas include a drone-enabled AI monitoring system for alerting infiltration and security breaches on international borders.
