For an advanced civilization, humans witness various problems every day, but only a few actually pave the way to create solutions and serve mankind. Harmeet Godhani, an 18-year-old entrepreneur, is one such personality. Born into a middle-class family with humble roots yet boundless aspirations, Harmeet is currently pursuing a degree in Computer Engineering at Tapi Diploma Engineering College under GTU. His journey started with an incident that many would overlook, but one that he saw as an opportunity to create change.
Harmeet's father Shaileshkumar Pragjibhai Godhani is currently associated with a business called Radha Caterers. The idea for his business took root when Harmeet was just 15. Standing across Varachha main road, he witnessed an ambulance trapped behind a parked car, unable to move due to the absence of the car owner. This incident triggered a realization: if the car owner could have been contacted, the situation could have been avoided. This sparked a relentless pursuit to find a solution, leading him to develop the HelpTag smart QR sticker—a product that allows one to contact a vehicle owner securely and swiftly.
Harmeet, armed with little more than a strong will and a thirst for knowledge, turned to Google and YouTube to learn programming and bring his idea to life. Despite his innovative product, he faced rejection in the market, not because of the idea, but due to his age. Many doubted a young entrepreneur’s capability to deliver. Undeterred, Harmeet turned to social media, conducting surveys and engaging directly with potential users to understand and address their concerns.
His flagship product, the HelpTag smart QR sticker, is a game-changer. This innovative sticker offers 100% privacy and security to users, allowing vehicle owners to be contacted in situations such as no-parking zones, accidents, or emergencies, without revealing personal information. Remarkably, this single product addresses eight different vehicular issues with just one click. The sticker is not merely a convenience; it’s a life-saving tool that bridges the gap between unforeseen problems and immediate solutions.
The HelpTag smart QR sticker is designed with a deep understanding of the user’s needs, ensuring that the owner’s privacy is never compromised. In the event of an accident, the system is capable of notifying the nearest hospital, police station, and family members, thus offering a comprehensive safety net.
His startup emerged victorious at the Sharkteen Session 4 event held at LJ University in Ahmedabad, where it outperformed 3,000 other startups to secure the top position and a prize of 2 lakh rupees. Furthermore, his collaboration with various RTOs stands as a significant milestone, reinforcing the practical impact of his innovation.
From securing partnerships with RTOs to launching awareness campaigns for the HelpTag smart QR 2.0, the company is on a path of rapid expansion. Harmeet’s vision for the future is clear: to provide a seamless solution to traffic and vehicle-related problems with the simplicity of a single click.
He believes that with over 140 crore brains in India, the nation holds an immense reservoir of untapped potential. His advice to aspiring entrepreneurs is to act on their ideas, to move beyond mere thought and into the realm of implementation.
