Uddhab Bharali- 55 year old Indian man with 140+ inventions




Born in Lakhimur in Assam, Uddhab Bharali is the only Indian man with more than 140 inventions. As a child he was excellent in academics and always had brain teasing question for his teachers but due to being from a poor family background he had to drop out of his college in the year 1987 but this did not affect his enthusiasm and zeal to create new things. Even after dropping out from college he took out time and continued to build gadgets.

He saved his house from the bank authorities after they issued a warrant for his father to vacate the house for not being able to pay his debt. Uddhab with his excellent creativity built a polythene generating machine and sold it just for rupees 67,000 when its original market price was rupees five lakhs.

After that he still continued to build new commercial use items but it was only in the year 2005 when the National Innovation Foundation recognise his talent and took him to abroad where he continued to work on his talent and creativity with full determination and came up with a pomegranate de-seeding machine which is the first one of a kind across the world and not just in India.

Till date he has won a number of noteworthy awards, he says that this is not the end of his innovations, he still has 53 projects that he is working on and is currently responsible for eight different project for every month.
