Two breakthrough student projects from Maharashtra made waves at KPIT Sparkle 2025, a national innovation contest organized by KPIT Technologies, tackling critical challenges in cybersecurity and autonomous mobility.
A team from Jayawantrao Sawant College of Engineering, Pune—Team Vanguardians—developed an AI-driven cybersecurity system to combat Interest Flooding Attacks (IFA) in vehicular networks. Their solution integrates Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and Large Language Models (LLMs), achieving 94% accuracy in detecting cyber threats, ensuring secure and resilient smart mobility communications.
Meanwhile, Team Eklavya from CSMSS CHH. Shahu College of Engineering, Aurangabad introduced an autonomous building vehicle inspired by moon rovers to optimize material transport in construction zones. Designed for diverse terrains and extreme weather conditions, this innovation aims to reduce labor shortages, enhance efficiency, and transform smart infrastructure management.
With over 28,000 students from 700+ colleges participating, KPIT Sparkle 2025 continues to be a launchpad for next-gen innovators. These young minds are not just solving today’s problems but shaping the future of technology, automation, and AI-driven security.
