In today’s fast-moving lifestyle, access to basic medicines often becomes a challenge, especially during late hours or in emergency situations. Pharmacies may remain closed, or the nearest medical store might be too far to reach. This can cause unnecessary delays in treatment for minor health issues such as fever, headache, cold,sprains or small injuries.

QuickMed is a unique and smart vending machine designed to dispense basic OTC medicines and essential healthcare products like paracetamol, antiseptic creams, band-aids,volinis,crepe bangades, hand sanitizers, and masks. Installed in campuses, railway stations, hostels, and public places, the machine works through digital payment systems (UPI,credit/debit cards), ensuring 24/7 availability.

The system is connected to a central database that tracks stock levels and automatically notifies suppliers when refilling is needed. Medicines are organized in separate slots with QR/barcode scanning to prevent errors. Additionally, a small display provides dosage information and warnings to promote safe usage.

Who benefits:

• commuters or travellers who need urgent first aid
• students living in hostels or away from family(people who mainly benefit from this idea)
• normal public during after hours as it is hard to find pharmacies which are open 24/7
• this idea can also partner with nearby pharmacies or pharmacies which are realtively close.by doing this,their net sales will also see a rise which is a win win situation for both public and the vendors
• can be life saving in some instances

Why it matters to me:

• being a student who lives in hostel and mostly away from parents,i found this idea to be very beneficial as i come across alot of people around me sustaining minor injuries like ankle twists,sprains or any kind of sickness like cold,fever or cough
• this vending machine can be very helpful in any of these cases as it can dispense tablets,volini and others kinds of first aids

Technical details:

• central database that stores the stock information and regulates accordingly
• digital payment systen such as UPI or debit/credit card
• battery back to still keep running when theres a power outage

1. Introduction

India’s digital economy is booming, with over a billion mobile connections powering payments, e-governance, and digital banking. But this rapid growth has also created new risks. Among the most damaging is SIMBOX fraud, where fraudsters reroute international calls through local SIM cards. This causes massive losses for telecoms and the government, while scam calls disguised as “local” trick citizens into financial fraud.

2. The Problem

Current countermeasures—manual audits, random SIM blocking, and delayed fraud reports—are slow, reactive, and easily bypassed. Fraudsters adapt faster than regulators, leaving telecom operators and citizens exposed. Without proactive tools, India’s telecom ecosystem remains vulnerable to systemic cyberfraud.

3. The Solution: SIMShield

SIMShield is a hybrid AI-powered fraud detection ecosystem designed to secure India’s telecom networks.

• B2B Web Platform (SaaS): For telecom operators and regulators. Provides real-time anomaly detection, fraud-ring mapping, and centralized fraud intelligence.

• B2C Mobile App: For citizens. Sends fraud alerts, allows SIM freeze/unfreeze, and displays a SIM Safety Score to boost awareness.

Key Technical Features:

•  AI Anomaly Detection: Detects abnormal call traffic with ML models.

•  Graph-Based Fraud Ring Analysis: Identifies coordinated SIMBOX networks.

•  Geo-location Consistency Checks: Flags SIMs operating in impossible patterns.

•  Fraud Intelligence Hub: Shared database for TRAI, DoT, and telcos.

4. Business Model

1. B2B Licensing: Annual SaaS (Software as a Service) subscriptions for telecom operators (₹50 lakh – ₹2 crore, tiered by network size).

2. B2B2C SDK Partnerships: Integration with banks & fintechs for SIM-binding in secure transactions.

3. B2C Freemium Model:

   • Free: Basic alerts.

   • Premium (₹99/month): SIM freeze, fraud history, insurance-backed protection.

4. CSR/Government Projects: Subsidized deployments under Digital India to protect rural users.

5. Who Benefits?

• Citizens: Safer calls, fewer scams, secure mobile transactions.

• Telecom Operators: Revenue recovery from fraud losses.

• Government: Preserves tax income, strengthens national cybersecurity.

• Community: Greater trust in UPI, digital banking, and e-governance.

6. Market Impact

• India loses $1.5–2 billion annually to telecom fraud.

• With over 1.1 billion mobile connections, even 1% adoption of SIMShield consumer plans creates a multi-crore revenue stream.

• Early adoption by top telecoms (Jio, Airtel, BSNL) ensures scalability across India.

7. Why This Matters

Cyberfraud isn’t just about money—it undermines trust in India’s digital-first future. Vulnerable groups like the elderly and first-time digital users suffer the most. By deploying SIMShield, we give India a proactive, scalable defense against telecom fraud, ensuring the next 500 million digital users are protected.
