Student Highlight – Vijay Abhichandani

Posted on Monday, January 7th, 2019

Dedicated, passionate and driven. Vijay Abhichandani, has been an incredible asset to the team at Algonquin College – Applied Research, Innovation & Entrepreneurship. This past summer, Vijay was a part of the student team that won first place at the RE/ACTION Showcase (Summer 2018) for their work on Nightlight.

Nightlight is an SMS based emergency response system that connects event-goers directly to emergency services at large festivals or gatherings with the goal of reducing the number of sexual assaults often associated with such events. Nightlight doubles as an interactive chatbot that can provide users with information about an event.
