A Delhi startup, Shellios Technolabs, has developed an anti-pollution helmet which is capable of purifying the polluted air, which is a revolutionary innovation for the bikers in one of India’s most polluted cities. It has a Bluetooth-enabled app that will alert the bikers when the helmet needs to be cleaned. After anti-pollution masks, such innovation was much needed and anticipated.

The Shellios Technolabs website mentions their objective behind developing the helmet saying:
“We reimagined what safety inside the helmet should mean. We created a device which provides clean air to your breathing area, helping reduce your exposure to toxic pollutants by more than 80%.”
