Two students from Symbiosis International University's Nagpur campus walked into a national competition at Adani University in Ahmedabad. They walked out with the first prize — and Rs 50,000.

Their winning idea? A data-driven solution called FreightFlow Capital. Designed to solve one of India's most persistent logistics problems — the working capital crunch that cripples small freight businesses — it impressed a panel of judges who demanded financial logic, scalability, and hard evidence.

Nagpur delivered all three.

What FreightFlow Capital Actually Solved

Small and mid-sized freight operators across India face a brutal cash flow problem. Goods are delivered. Invoices are raised. But payments take weeks — sometimes months. Meanwhile, fuel costs, driver salaries, and vehicle maintenance cannot wait.

The result is a systemic squeeze that pushes otherwise viable logistics businesses into debt or closure. It is a well-documented problem. It has been complained about for decades. And very few people have attempted to solve it with data.

Team leader Kundan Lanjewar and teammate Kriti Garg did exactly that. They built a financial model that addresses the working capital gap with a structured, scalable solution built around real freight payment cycles, risk profiling, and cash flow analytics.

The judges at Adani University — competing teams came from institutions across the country — said it clearly. The clarity of vision and the robustness of the financial modelling won the day.

Why This Story Matters for Nagpur

This is not just a college competition result. It is a signal about where Nagpur's talent is heading.

Nagpur sits at the centre of India's logistics map. The Samruddhi Expressway, MIHAN's multi-modal hub, and the city's position on the Mumbai-Kolkata freight corridor make it one of the most strategically located cities for the logistics and supply chain sector in the country.

The companies operating out of this ecosystem are not looking for people who can only write reports. They are looking for professionals who can model financial risk, analyse freight data, forecast demand, and build decision-support tools that give logistics operators a real competitive edge.

That is exactly what data science trains you to do.

From Nagpur's Campus to Nagpur's Job Market

Kundan and Kriti's win is proof that Nagpur's students are ready to compete nationally — and win. But competition prizes do not pay salaries. Translating that ambition into a long-term, high-paying career requires the right technical foundation.
