Ninad Gidwani (in pic), who has several patents to his name, says almost all his innovations are need-based. From cookware, to pillows, and the latest gas stove, Gidwani says he developed each one of these after facing a problem in his personal life.

“My back used to hurt after I had an accident. So, I developed a chair that takes care of this. I have a patent for the design now. I also came up with mattresses and pillows from coir. Similarly, I created cookware out of clay, as I wanted to eat from a hygienic vessel. If food is cooked in these utensils, the taste also improves,” he told mid-day.
Gidwani is a scientist-cum-artist, working in the field of glass and ceramics since graduating as an industrial engineer in 1989 from VIT, Pune. He has developed inks for glass, and was recognised by Coca-Cola, Atlanta in 2001 for creating inks for all their beverage glass bottles.
He has also invented, developed, and patented flame-top and mineral-coated ceramic cookware, a series of highly-efficient, leak-proof oil lamps, divine meditation lamps (akhand lamps), floating ceramic lamps/diyas, eco-friendly oil tea-lights, etc, and is trying for more patents now.
“My first experience on the potter’s wheel was effortless. Each time I sat on the wheel, it was like magic. This art form pulled me in so deep that I could not think of anything else,” he reminisced.
