Indian Doers rise up to Lenovo's

Lenovo has announced that its "Do Network" is believed to be on its mission to helping Doers to bring life to their ideas for a better community, as it sees over 1,269 entries submitted across Indonesia, India and Russia for its Do Network competition. In India, passionate Indians have submitted 609 entries.

Based on the theme of "technology invention", the challenges proposed by the Do Network in this cycle of the campaign seek to address the problems that exist in local communities. This includes portable education, traffic jams, or products. The fourth, a wildcard challenge, is also provided to allow Doers to pursue their individual ideas that may not fall under the specific challenge categories, but still fit with the technology invention theme.

"We are thrilled at the tremendous interest in the Do Network here and the quality of the projects that have been submitted so far. Voting for the projects has begun and we are very hopeful and excited that some of these ideas may help generate positive outcomes for the local communities. These projects have already garnered 5,309 votes only 10 days after voting began, reflecting the strong support from the local communities. The DO Network mentors are also looking forward to sharing their insights with the finalists, and we hope to see these winning ideas evolve into real solutions over the course of this campaign. We urge the public to continue voting so that they can see their favourite projects come to life," said Shailendra Katyal, Director - Marketing, Lenovo India.

"It is a pleasure to be associated with an initiative like this. Programmes like these provide a platform to youngsters, the support they need to bring their ideas to life and help them succeed with the right mentoring. With the combined expertise of the Mentors, project teams and support from Lenovo, I am certain that this initiative will see some meaningful projects come to fruition and make a difference in our community," said Rajan Anandan, Managing Director, Google India.
