The Osaka World Expo 2025 was an incredible experience for us at ReNote AI. I am grateful to the Telangana government and T-Hub for putting Indian startups on the world map. At ReNote AI, we’ve developed the world’s first AI-powered smart reusable notebook. It is waterproof, non-tearable, and can be reused up to 100 times. It seamlessly integrates with our AI-powered mobile application which converts handwritten notes to digital text, summarises them using an AI chatbot, and syncs tasks to Google Calendar, Apple Reminders, and Microsoft To Do. You can also schedule meetings via Google Meet or Microsoft Teams, generate minutes of the meeting directly in Outlook and email, transform paper sketches into colourful digital art, and even convert hand-drawn wireframes into editable digital designs with code. We’re building a bridge between the physical and digital worlds — empowering productivity, creativity, and sustainability.
There are meaningful similarities between Indian and Japanese work and innovation ethics. Both cultures deeply value dedication, discipline, and long-term thinking. In India, we emphasise innovation with purpose — solving real-world problems with limited resources, which aligns well with Japan’s philosophy of continuous improvement.
The experience at Osaka was a deeply emotional and proud one that I’ll never forget. A Japanese gentleman who attended the 1970 Osaka Expo visited our India stall. He asked for my signature, saying, ‘What you’re doing is truly meaningful — not just innovating, but also helping society and saving trees.’
