Having coffee on the go couldn&rsquot be easier than this if the innovative idea from four students from Government Girls Higher Secondary School, Ernakulam, Kerala, turns into reality.
Dimple V, Elisha Aenorie, Sivanandana KB and Sowndaryaa Lakshmi V, participants at the TiE Global Student Pitch Competition, came up with an innovative idea which got them the Popular Choice Award &ndash coffee in a capsule.
